Volume XXV: The Copenhagen Wulfstan Collection

Brought to scholarly attention many years ago by N. R. Ker, when he identified numerous alterations and additions in Wulfstan’s hand, this “crucial” (Ker) manuscript at last becomes generally accessible. The Introduction reopens the canon of Wulfstan’s Latin writings. An amalgam of several distinct sections, including the earliest witness to sermons of Abbo of St Germain, the manuscript with its nine different hands provides a clear profile of scribal and scriptorium practice in early eleventh-century Worcester.
