{"product_id":"anglo-saxon-chronicle-5-ms-c-9780859914918","title":"Anglo-Saxon Chronicle 5: MS C","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents a semi-diplomatic edition of the text of MS C (London, British Library Cotton, Tiberius B.i). This text of the Chronicle, usually referred to as 'the Abingdon Chronicle' was substantially copied in the mid-eleventh century and continued sporadically thereafter. Its precipitous ending (presumably by the loss of a leaf or leaves) in the midst of the Battle of Stamford Bridge, was supplemented by a twelfth-century reader, suggesting that this manuscript was still of interest in the period after the Conquest. The C-text is an important source of information for the reign of Edward the Confessor, and it brings a unique political perspective to the ascendency of Godwine and his sons.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe traditional association of the text, manuscript or both with the reformed monastery of Abingdon has been an important feature of the current understanding of the interrelationships among the several texts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The present edition examines the various arguments for associating the C-text with Abingdon and the difficulties inherent in these arguments. It brings to bear evidence from the palaeography and codicology of the manuscript as well as text historical and linguistic evidence. The introduction to the text considers the different strands composing the C-text, and the close relationships of this text to MSS B, D, and E. The editor has prepared the usual full indices of persons, peoples and places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.57h x 6.37w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859914918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eO'Brien O'Keeffe, Katherine:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe is Professor of English and Fellow of the Medieval Institute, University of Notre Dame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40223100403827,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":107.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_644176fc-d9e0-4a96-b34a-f48cf0f5d366.jpg?v=1656682509","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/anglo-saxon-chronicle-5-ms-c-9780859914918","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
