Hardcover. xv, 347 p.; front., 13 il.; 23.5 cm. (Ferguson, Bibliography of English translations from medieval sources, no. 1702) Contents: Chronological table -- Preface -- Introduction -- Anonymous Life of St. Cuthbert -- Eddius Stephanus, Life of Wilfrid -- Felix, Life of St. Guthlac -- Bede, Lives of the Abbots -- Anonymous Life of Ceolfrith -- Alcuin, Life of St. Willibrord -- Willibald, Life of St. Boniface -- Bibliographical note -- Index. -- From the preface: `The following hagiographies, representing the eariest important surviving body of Old English literature, were written in Latin by Anglo-Saxons, probably all monks. (Two others belong in this group: the Life of St. Gregory by an anonymous monk of Whitby, soon to appear in a much-needed new edition and translation by Bertram Colgrave, and Bede's Life of St. Cuthbert, based on the earlier anonymous Life of St. Cuthbert which I have chosen to translate.) They serve to remind us that Old English culture grew up amid a late Roman context, and they make more evident how great a novelty the Anglo-Saxons' written vernacular literature is in the seventh- and eighth-century western world. Like a Germanic warrior wearing newly-captured Roman armor, the Anglo-Saxon monk handles Latin proudly but awkwardly, and with a boyish curiosity and enthusiasm. Throughout the book I have taken pains to reproduce the original works as faithfully as possible, within the limits of readability. Whatever insertions I have made for clarity's sake, and all summaries of untranslated portions (space prohibited complete translation) are contained within square brackets.' (p. xiii f.)
