The kalendar of the Junius psalter; the liturgical kalendar of Anglo-Saxon Glastonbury - a chimaera?; liturgical books for the Anglo-Saxon episcopate - a reconsideration; liturgical books from late Anglo-Saxon England - a review of some historic problems.
A book of great interest, value, and finesse of scholarship.
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEWA useful reference work. The amount of
detailed document work the collection represents, particularly in
the palaeographic field, will, it is to be hoped, make it a
valuable quarry for the ecclesiastical history of late Anglo-Saxon
England - a value which is enhanced by a generous index, a
manuscript index and a good bibliography. JANE STEVENSON, MEDIUM
ÆVUMNo one who studies the ecclesiastical or even the political
history of late Anglo-Saxon England can now do so adequately
without consulting this work... an outstanding specimen of a still
too rare approach to medieval history, one that takes liturgical
evidence to be of prime importance for an understanding of the
periods and societies we all study. SPECULUM [Richard W. Pfaff] A
most important compendium of English liturgical materials...which
not merely illuminate the development of church ritual, but also
corroborate and authenticate the processes of English intellectual
and cultural history.
