The Inscription of Charms in Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: In the history of Anglo-Saxon scholarship considerable effort has been expended to extricate the pagan from the Christian with some interesting results.5 On the other hand, I propose that we accept the mostly late Anglo-Saxon documentation of charms just as it presents itself in the manuscripts; then, with careful attention to manuscript enviornments, inquire how Anglo-Saxons may have understood and performed the incantations.//
