Author Description

This reissue of Neil Ker's great Catalogue includes Ker's own twelve-page Supplement of additions and corrections originally published in volume V of the journal of Anglo-Saxon England. The work includes all manuscripts written in the vernacular earlier than approximately 1200 A.D., and examines the two hundred principal manuscripts in which Anglo-Saxon occurs in the form of short notes, glosses, and scribbles. In addition, the volume provides a valuable appendix that includes manuscripts written in Anglo-Saxon by continental scribes.
