Publisher Description:
English religious and cultural life reached its first culmination in the 7th and 8th centuries. One result of this was that Germany was largely christianized by Anglo-Saxon missionaries such as Boniface in the 8th century, which put a lasting stamp on the religious and cultural structure of Germany. Christianization also influenced the literary life and the transmission of manuscripts. This aspect is highlighted in an exhibition in the Bavarian State Library in Munich (1-24 August 2005) which presents manuscripts from Anglo-Saxon England as well as continental manuscripts written or influenced by the Anglo-Saxons. Texts composed by English authors such as Alcuin, Bede, Boniface, Candidus (Wizo) and Hugeburc are also on display. The illustrated catalogue describes the manuscripts and puts them into their historical and cultural context.
