Description
This volume explores many fundamental questions regarding Anglo-Saxon history.
Among those considered is the question of did the earliest English prose really divide into a Mercian tradition and a separate West Saxon one?
What is the full roll-call of extant texts containing late Old English 'Winchester' words?
How far was Anglo-Saxon medicine hocus-pocus and how far the fruit of deliberate experimentation?
How much Greek vocabulary was known in Anglo-Saxon England, and how was it known and how used?
How did Anglo-Saxon land law work in practice? Advances in scholarship, application of modern scientific knowledge of a type not normally available, fresh directions of thought, original analysis, stricter criteria and additions to the stock of primary evidence all characterize this book.
The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.
