Excerpts are taken from Bede and other historians, from the letters of women written from their monasteries, from famous documents such as Domesday Book and Magna Carta, and from accounts and legal documents, all revealing the lives of individuals at home and on their travels across Britain and beyond. It offers an insight into Latin writings on many subjects, showing the important role of Latin in the multilingual society of medieval Britain, in which Latin was the primary language of written communication and record and also developed, particularly after the Norman Conquest, through mutual influence with English and French. The thorough introductions to each volume provide a broad overview of the linguistic and cultural background, while the individual texts are placed in their social, historical and linguistic context.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Fifth Century\u003cbr\u003e I. 1 Patrick, Confession\u003cbr\u003e SIXTH CENTURY\u003cbr\u003e I. 2 Gildas, The ruin of Britain\u003cbr\u003e SEVENTH CENTURY\u003cbr\u003e I. 3 The earliest charters: Chertsey: BACS 19 (Chertsey Abbey) no.1\u003cbr\u003e Thanet: BACS 17 (Christ Church, Canterbury) no. 2\u003cbr\u003e I. 4 Theodore of Canterbury, Laterculus Malalianus\u003cbr\u003e and the Poem in praise of Hædde\u003cbr\u003e I. 5 Descriptions of the Holy Land: Adomnán and Bede on the holy places\u003cbr\u003e I. 6 Aldhelm, On virginity (prose)\u003cbr\u003e Letter 5 to Heahfrith\u003cbr\u003e I. 7 Riddles: Aldhelm\u003cbr\u003e Tatwine\u003cbr\u003e Hwætberht\u003cbr\u003e Boniface\u003cbr\u003e EIGHTH CENTURY\u003cbr\u003e I. 8 The Life of Gregory the Great (Anon.of Whitby)\u003cbr\u003e I. 9 Burginda, Letter to a young man\u003cbr\u003e I. 10 Bede, Educational writings: on grammar and rhetoric\u003cbr\u003e and on the reckoning of time\u003cbr\u003e I. 11 Two Lives of Cuthbert: Anonymous (prose)\u003cbr\u003e Bede (verse and prose)\u003cbr\u003e I. 12 Wealdhere, Letter to Berhtwald of Canterbury\u003cbr\u003e I. 13 Berhtwald of Canterbury, Letter about a slave girl\u003cbr\u003e I. 14 Ælfflæd of Whitby, Letter to an abbess in Germany\u003cbr\u003e I. 15 Eddi, The Life of Wilfrid\u003cbr\u003e I. 16 Two Lives of Ceolfrith: Anonymous and Bede\u003cbr\u003e I. 17 Bede, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People\u003cbr\u003e I. 18 Bede, Letter to bishop Ecgberht\u003cbr\u003e I. 19 Cuthbert of Jarrow: Letter on the death of Bede\u003cbr\u003e and Letter to Lul\u003cbr\u003e I. 20 Felix, The Life of Guthlac\u003cbr\u003e I. 21 The Letters of Boniface's circle: letter from Eangyth to Boniface (14)\u003cbr\u003e Leoba to Boniface (29)\u003cbr\u003e Boniface to bishop Ecgberht of York (75)\u003cbr\u003e Æthelberht II of Kent to Boniface (105)\u003cbr\u003e Berhtgyth to her brother (147)\u003cbr\u003e I. 22 Æthelbald of Mercia: charter to abbess Eadburg, BACS 4 (St.Augustine's, Canterbury) no. 51\u003cbr\u003e I. 23 Willibald of Mainz, The Life of Boniface\u003cbr\u003e I. 24 Hugeburc of Heidenheim, The Life of Willibald of Eichstätt\u003cbr\u003e I. 25 Alchfrith, Prayer to the Virgin Mary\u003cbr\u003e I. 26 Alcuin, The Life of Willibrord (prose and verse)\u003cbr\u003e I. 27 Alcuin, On grammar\u003cbr\u003e I. 28 The coming of the Vikings and the destruction of Lindisfarne (793): Alcuin, Letter 16 to the king of Northumbria\u003cbr\u003e Symeon of Durham\u003cbr\u003e Libellus de exordio\u003cbr\u003e NINTH CENTURY\u003cbr\u003e I. 29 Æthelwulf: Poem on the abbots of his monastery\u003cbr\u003e I. 30 Historia Brittonum: the History of the British\u003cbr\u003e I. 31 A late ninth-century charter, BACS 18 (Christ Church, Canterbury) no. 93\u003cbr\u003e I. 32 Asser, On the deeds of Alfred\u003cbr\u003e TENTH CENTURY\u003cbr\u003e I. 33 A tenth-century charter, BACS 6 (Selsey) no. 16\u003cbr\u003e I. 34 Regularis Concordia\u003cbr\u003e I. 35 Literary texts associated with St. Swithun: Lantfred, The translation and miracles of St. Swithun\u003cbr\u003e Wulfstan of Winchester, A metrical account of St. Swithun\u003cbr\u003e A sequence on Swithun and Birinus (Anon.)\u003cbr\u003e I. 36 Æthelweard, Chronicle\u003cbr\u003e I. 37 A treaty between Æthelred the Unready and the Viking leader\u003cbr\u003e I. 38 Ælfric, Preface to the first book of Catholic Homilies\u003cbr\u003e I. 39 Ælfric, Educational writings: Grammar\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Colloquy\u003cbr\u003e Ælfric Bata, Colloquy\u003cbr\u003e I. 40 Saints' Lives from around the millennium\u003cbr\u003e I. 41 Three accounts of King Alfred and the cakes: First Life of St. Neot\u003cbr\u003e Annals of St. Neot\u003cbr\u003e the Chronicle attributed to John of Wallingford\u003cbr\u003e I. 42 In praise of Queen Emma.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp;
