Hello friends
Four Courts press has a couple new books out -
1) "Manuscripts in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms: Cultures and Connections"
A catalogue of manuscripts containing Middle English and some Old English
What this book entails, I quote from their web-page -
consists of items which came to Trinity College in 1661 from the
library of Archbishop James Ussher, primate of All Ireland, who had
been a fellow and professor there.
His interests were principally in theology and religion, history and
some practical sciences, and though, later, other donors contributed
other valuable items.
Accordingly, among the Middle English items, there are many religious
texts, in both poetry and prose, a lot of which are reformist –
Wycliffite Bibles and polemical works, many of which are unique to
this collection.
Among the histories appear ten copies of the popular BrutChronicle, of
which five are in Middle English and two of which (MSS 489 and 505)
are richly illuminated, Robert Bale’s Chronicle of London 1189–1461,
and translations of Giraldus Cambrensis’s Expugnacio Hibernica, as
well as William Lambarde’s invaluable text (MS 631), made in 1563, of
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle to the year AD 1001, copied from a
manuscript destroyed by fire in 1731. John Benet’s personal miscellany
(MS 516), compiled over many years in the middle of the fifteenth
century, preserves many unique texts relating to the Wars of the
Roses.
