Bøger af Professor Michael Lapidge

Among topics covered in this volume, two important authorship questions are settled; the discovery of a major Northumbrian settlement is reported; and the conceptions of Old English literature which have prevailed during the last three hundred years are paraded for critical inspection. The usual comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book.

This invaluable study sets out the evidence for the nature and holdings of libraries in Anglo-Saxon England. It is furnished with appendices that include editions of all surviving Anglo-Saxon book inventories and a catalogue of all classical and patristic works cited by Anglo-Saxon authors.

Offers evidence from Continental sources on early fifth-century Britain, and from Irish sources on Gildas' own reputation and career. This book is suitable for students of post-Roman Britain.
