Sources of Old English and Anglo-Latin Literary Culture
About the Book Series
Sources of Old English and Anglo-Latin Literary Culture is a longstanding collaborative project by numerous scholars to map the sources that influenced the literary culture of early England. Taking inspiration from Ogilvy's Books Known to the English, it aims at a comprehensive, descriptive list of all authors and works known in England between c. 500 and c. 1100 CE
