Bishop Æthelwold: His Career and Influence

Bishop Æthelwold: His Career and Influence

Andrew Prescott
4.3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Æthelwold's life and his political and ecclesiastical importance in the 10th-century reformation receive thorough scholarly scrutiny in this appraisal of his life and work. The studies include a comparison of Æthelwold's career with that of other European monastic reformers; a study of Æthelwold's foundation at Abingdon; and of his involvement with the political crises of the 10th century. Æthelwold's skills as a scholar are assessed through surviving Latin and Old Englist texts, and as a teacher from the writings of his pupils. The scholarly work of his foundations is highlighted by a detailed study of the text of the Benedictional of St. Æthelwold; other essays look at the music and sculpture performed and produced at Æthelwold's foundations.
