Beschreibung

Some occasional minor browning, early contemporary marginal notes, a few neat later pencil annotations. Contemporary calf, neatly but not recently rebacked, gilt morocco labels; some scratches & abrasions to boards, corners worn, later endpapers & pastedowns. ESTC R5810. The Historia de Sancto Cuthberto ('History of St Cuthbert') is a historical compilation finished some time after 1031. The text survives in three manuscripts (now in Oxford, Cambridge & London), the earliest of which dates from around 1100. The original version of the text is not thought to be extant; rather, all surviving manuscripts are thought to be copies of an earlier but lost exemplar. This first printed version edited by Roger Twysden, which brought knowledge of the text to the wider world for the first time, utilised only the Cambridge version, thus missing chapters 29 to 34 and ending with the visit of King Edmund to St Cuthbert.
