Description: | On the reverse of the final leaf of a text by St. Augustine, written in France in the 9th century, a later English scribe has added a list of books, with the heading 'The church of Burton owns these books'. The list starts, as usual, with a copy of the Bible, here described as being in two volumes; next is a book of Sermons, including a life of St. Modwenna, titular saint of the abbey of Burton-on-Trent; followed by works by St. Augustine (not including the present one), and other authors. A few lines from the bottom is a reference in the past tense to Bernard, abbot of Burton, who died in 1174. Among the last few entries are some books written in English ('angl.'). | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
