Place-names, charters, coins and manuscripts are among the forms of evidence studied in this second volume. The topics range from the course of English settlement in the south-east to the power and influence of a leading aristocratic family in the tenth century and the possible presence of Jews in England in the eleventh.

Contributions to the forty-eighth volume of Anglo-Saxon England focus on aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and history across a period from the sixth to the twelfth century. This volume begins with an examination of Beowulf fitt II and the Andreas-poet, and ends with a study of St Dunstan and the heavenly choirs of St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, as related in Goscelin's Historia translationis S. Augustini. Also included are articles on Leofric of Exeter and liturgical performance as pastoral care, legal culture under Dena lage with reference to III Æthelred, an Agnus Dei penny of King Æthelred the Unready and self-seeking in The Metres of Boethius. Latin verse in an Old English medical codex is examined with reference to Bald's Colophon, the figure of Beow is explored in a Scandinavian context and a new solution is provided for Exeter Riddle 55. Each article is preceded by a short abstract.

The materials studied in this volume extend from small pieces of evidence made to reveal Frankish influence on the beginnings of Bath Abbey to a post-Conquest gradual recognized as unique testimony to the pre-Conquest music of Christ Church, Canterbury.

The contents of this first volume typify the range of interests that will be covered throughout the series. The topics treated include the first two centuries of Christianity in East Anglia; geographical knowledge in King Alfred's court and the contemporary state of our knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon house.

In this volume, one of the most important manuscripts surviving from pre-Conquest England receives penetrating analysis by several scholars. The 'Junius Manuscript' is evaluated from a number of intersecting perspectives, including codicology, decoration, script and punctuation; the confluence of these permits a fresh and convincing dating of this crucially important witness to Old English poetry.

This volume includes an important assessment of the correspondence of St Boniface, in which it is shown that the unusually formulaic nature of Boniface's letters is best understood as a reflex of the saint's familiarity with vernacular composition. The usual comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book, whilst a full index of volumes 26-30 is provided.

In the present volume, the two essays that frame the book provide exciting insight into the mental world of the Anglo-Saxons by showing how they understood the processes of reading and assimilating knowledge as well as showing how they conceived of time and the passage of the seasons. The usual bibliography rounds off the book.

Material evidence brought to light in this book includes a niello disc from Limpsfield Grange (Surrey) and two fragments of a composite Old English homily discovered in Westminster Abbey. Many previously accepted scholarly positions are reassessed and challenged. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications rounds off the book, along with an index.

Our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England depends wholly on the precise and detailed study of the texts that have come down to us from pre-Conquest times. The present book contains pioneering studies of some of these sources which have been neglected or misunderstood. The usual comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book.

Four very different kinds of Anglo-Saxon thinking are clarified in this volume - traditions, learned and oral, about the settlement of the country, study of foreign-language grammar, interest in exotic jewels as reflections of the glory of God, and (surprisingly, no doubt, to some) a mainly rational attitude to medicine.

This volume illustrates some of the exciting new paths of enquiry which are currently being explored in many diverse fields of Anglo-Saxon studies, including archaeology, legal history, palaeography, Old English syntax and poetic style, and Latin learning with its many reflexes in Old English prose literature.

Anglo-Saxon England consistently embraces all the main aspects of study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture.

Of outstanding importance in this volume is the first ever attempt to list all the surviving manuscripts that were written or owned in Anglo-Saxon England. A study assembles the widely scattered evidence for slave raiding and slave trading in England. Other contributions examine Latin poems, Beowulf and The Seafarer.

Several unusual fields of study are extensively explored in this volume: a distinctive politico-religious cult, penitentials, inscriptions, the Sutton Hoo whetstone and medical knowledge; while treatments of more 'standard' subjects like late Anglo-Saxon law, King Alfred's Boethius and Beowulf, lead to unusual conclusions.

The principal emphasis of this book is the relationship between England and its neighbours in the pre-Conquest period.

Ideas about the whole sweep of Anglo-Saxon history and in particular the importance of combining skills from many disciplines are at the centre of this volume. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.

In 2002, a fragmentary homiliary containing exegetical homilies for the Sundays after Pentecost, came to light. The manuscript apparently dates from the mid-eleventh century, and this volume of Anglo-Saxon England contains a printed edition of this interesting text.

This volume throws light on the literacy of Anglo-Saxon England, from the writs which were used as the instruments of government from the eleventh century onwards, to the normative texts, to the runes stamped on an Anglo-Saxon coin, to the pseudorunes which deliver the coded message of a man to his lover in a well-known Old English poem.

Manuscripts are the form of evidence most studied in this volume. Among others, the likely seventh- and eighth-century English ownership of a fifth-century copy of a Hieronymian commentary is reconstructed, and an edition and full discussion of the eighth-century Anglian collection of royal genealogies and regnal lists advance our understanding of this difficult material.

That Alcuin addressed to the monks of Lindisfarne the question, 'What has Ingeld to do with Christ?', is a much repeated dogma in Old English studies; but in this book close examination of the letter in question shows that it was addressed not to Lindisfarne nor to a monastic community, but to a bishop in Mercia.

The vitality of Anglo-Saxon studies is reflected in the continuing acquisition of fresh knowledge and perspectives gained from the combination of disparate but complementary skills and disciplines.
