The British Library, 2002 4to (29 cm), [4], 26, [2] pp, 119 ff of facsimile. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). "The Benedictional of St Aethelwold, a book of ceremonial blessings made for St Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester from 963-984, is one of the most lavishly decorated manuscripts to have survived from Anglo-Saxon England. This beautifully produced facsimile reproduces the complete manuscript in full colour (with special gold), and to actual size, for the first time. In his introduction Andrew Prescott explores the historical and liturgical context of this remarkable manuscript, and provides translations of some of the blessings." (from the publisher's synopsis)
