The 'Laterculus Malalianus' and the School of Archbishop Theodore

This is an edition, with introduction, translation and commentary, of the 'Laterculus Malalianus', a historical exegesis of the life of Christ, which appears to be the only complete text to survive from the hand of Archbishop Theodore at Canterbury, the first school of Anglo-Saxon England.

"This text, part of the recent discovered collection of texts, provides the bases of a complete reconsideration of the religious bases of Anglo-Saxon Christianity....Highly recommended." The Reader's Review

"...represents a significant advance in the understanding of earlier Anglo-Saxon culture and may serve as examples of creative scholarship and models for future work in an area of study it has opened for all." Paul E. Szarmach, Journal of Religion

"Jane Stevenson has performed a genuine service for medieval studies by making available in an exemplary fashion a hitherto little-known work of an undeniably odd sort while at the same time establishing in a broad context both the work's important and, almost certainly, its authorship. Stevenson's presentation is almost beyond praise." Richard W. Pfaff, Speculum
