Biggs, Frederick, et al. Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture. Volume One: Abbo of Fleury, Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and Acta Sanctorum. Kalamazoo, MI: Medieval Institute, 2001. xlvi + 548 pp.

Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture is a collaborative project that aims to produce a reference work providing a convenient summary of current scholarship on the knowledge and use of literary sources in Anglo-Saxon England. This first volume focuses on Abbo of Fleury, Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and Acta Sanctorum while introducing the project as a whole, its aims, and its methods. Readers will find information on manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogs, Anglo-Latin and Old English versions, citations, quotations, and direct references to authors and works under appropriate subject headings. Discussions of source relationships, accompanied by relevant bibliography, weigh and consider differing interpretations and possibilities for future research. The extensive entry on Acta Sanctorum may serve in effect as an introduction to hagiography in Anglo-Saxon England. An international team of editors and contributors has written entries for this project, which received substantial funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities in its initial phases.
