Description: | This manuscript contains a variety of different works concerning St. Swithun, Bishop of Winchester (d. 862), including a tract on miracles attributed to him; a hymn in which the first lines begin with the letters from A to Z, followed by four more beginning with A, M, E, and N; and a biography written in verse. A collection such as this is unlikely to have been compiled anywhere but Winchester.
The first page of the text is inscribed with the names of later owners, including (upper margin) Thomas Dakombe (1496-c.1572), rector of St. Mary Colebrook at Winchester), and John, Lord Lumley. | 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 |
