First published in 1998, this volume brings together some of the
best recent work on the period before and after the Norman Conquest
and makes an irresistible case for a number of fundamental
revisions in our understanding of the culture of Anglo-Saxon and
Norman England. Combining the use of novel techniques such as
digital image processing with the best current practice in textual
and iconographic study, this volume broadens the scope and
applicability of manuscript studies, showing, for example, the
falsity of prevailing notions of the vitality and status of the
native English tongue after the Conquest. The essays combine to
make a coherent and persuasive demonstration of the benefits of not
remaining bound to the physical artifact but rather connecting
codicology with practical and theoretical applications within
manuscript studies and other historical disciplines.
First published in 1993, Medieval Scandinavia: An Encyclopedia
covers every aspect of the region during the Middle Ages, including
rulers and saints, overviews of the countries, religion, education,
politics and law, culture and material life, history, literature,
and art. Written by a team of expert contributors, the encyclopedia
offers those who lack command of the various Scandinavian languages
a basic tool for the study of Medieval Scandinavia from roughly the
Migration Period to the Reformation. With full-page maps, useful
supplementary photos, cross-references and a comprehensive index,
this work will be a valuable and absorbing volume for students of
the Norse sagas, the Viking age, and Old English history and
literature, and for anyone interested in the cultural and
historical heritage of Scandinavia.
