Description

"The collection of ecclesiastical institutes, laws and homilies... consists of two parts, one ... written about the middle of the eleventh century and the other ... some fifty years earlier. They were certainly bound together by 1580 ... The earlier portion, partly in Anglo-Saxon and partly in Latin, is ... 'a kind of theological commonplace book ...'; the later portion, all in Anglo-Saxon, provides a good copy of the Laws of Cnut and of the legal material that forms their background."
