Description
 
The early medieval Vulgate Bible had no fixed textual form -- multiple copying resulted in a multitude of forms. This book is the first to describe the transmission of the Vulgate Old Testament in Anglo-Saxon England. Following an introduction which explains the wider continental history in which the dissemination of the scriptures occurred, Richard Marsden analyses nineteen surviving Latin manuscripts and further translations of scripture into Old English. His book illuminates important areas of monastic and intellectual life, and establishes textual history as a dimension of wider Anglo-Saxon history.
