Description

The Benedictional of St Aethelwold

A splendid edition – which was sold out within one month of publication. This is a magnificent facsimile of an illuminated manuscript that was produced between 960 and 975AD, it is the most lavishly illustrated manuscript known form Anglo-Saxon England. It was probably executed in Winchester by a monk known as Godeman, and is a collection of blessings suitable for different occasions. Reproduced from the original manuscript in the British Library through digital photography by Elizabeth Hunter and printed at the Cambridge University Press.

The facsimile volume is bound in brown goatskin leather blocked with the title in gold, with four raised spine bands, and additional spine embossing. The paper is very thick Phoenix Motion Xenon that mimics the original lambskin vellum.

There is an accompanying 41 page, unillustrated, Commentary volume that is quarter bound in maroon buckram with handmade paper sides.

Both volumes are housed in a plain maroon Solander (Clamshell) box, that has a paper label on the spine.
