Yet this is the first full-length account of the nature and holdings of Anglo-Saxon libraries from the sixth century to theeleventh. The early chapters discuss libraries in antiquity, notably at Alexandria and republican and imperial Rome, and also the Christian libraries of late antiquity which suppliedbooks to Anglo-Saxon England.

After setting out the problems entailed in using such evidence, the book is provided with appendices containing editions of all survivingAnglo-Saxon inventories, lists of all Anglo-Saxon manuscripts exported to continental libraries during the eighth century and then all manuscripts re-imported into England in the tenth, as well as acatalogue of all citations of classical and patristic literature ...
