About the Book

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 Athelstan, 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 an 8th-century lectionary, and a study of the history of the Exeter Book from 1050 to the present. PATRICK CONNERis Professor in the department of English at West Virginia University.

Table of Contents:
Bishop Leofric's scriptorium and library - an introduction; background; two groups of 10th-century manuscripts; the palaeographical context of the Exeter Book; the Exeter Book - codicology; poetry and cultural history. Appendices: the 8th-century Gospel-book fragment from Exeter; the records of relics at Exeter; colophon inscriptions in the Lambeth Bede; the record of moving the See of Devon from Crediton to Exeter; Bishop Leofric's inventory of lands and books; the preservation of the Exeter Book since 1100.

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. Undeniably a book which challenges old assumptions; indeed, it would not be exaggerating to call it revolutionary...a book which certainly cannot be ignored.
