Items related to Anglo-Saxon Exeter: A Tenth-Century Cultural History
Synopsis
A study of the manuscripts, relics and historical traditions of Anglo-Saxon Exeter before Leofric moved the see of Devon and Cornwall there in 1050. In his search for an historical context for the famous Exeter Book of Old English poetry, Dr Conner's examination of the archaeological and textual records of Exeter have led him to significant new conclusions about the city's tenth century monastic culture. He posits the existence of a large library dating from the time of King Æthelstan, an active scriptorium from at least the mid-century period, and suggests that five other important manuscripts may have originated at Exeter c.950-c.990.A codicological examination of the Exeter Book draws fresh conclusions about its composition and its literary context. Anglo-Saxon Exeterconcludes with six appendices in which many documents important to the early history of the city are edited, including its relic-lists, the records for moving the see from Crediton to Exeter, Leofric's Inventory, a series of legal records which survive on a single leaf of an8th-century lectionary, and a study of the history of the Exeter Book from 1050 to the present. PATRICK CONNER is Professor in the department of English at West Virginia University.

Review
Carefully argued... a meticulous examination of codicological and palaeographical evidence for [the] community [and] the most detailed physical account of the `Exeter Book' since the appearance of the facsimile edition sixty years ago. ENGLISH STUDIES
Undeniably a book which challenges old assumptions; indeed, it would not be exaggerating to call it revolutionary...a book which certainly cannot be ignored. MEDIUM AEVUM
