Abstract: Work in this volume offers insights into the Anglo-Saxons' literature, both Latin and vernacular, their study of Latin, their documents, art and artefacts, agricultural practices, their cognizance of Roman predecessors, and later Icelandic knowledge of them. The literary contributions include a major study of Aldhelm's Latin prose style, arguing against its supposed 'Irishness' and placing it firmly in the main tradition of rhetorical amplification coming through from ancient times. In the field of vernacular poetry a prevalent, but illogical, interpretation of a thematically significant obscurity in Beowulf is challenged, and Cynewulf's penitential concern is emphasized. The physical remains of the eighth-century watermill at Tamworth and a compiled survey of early medieval mill terminology are correlated. Old English place-names containing Latin loan words are reconsidered. The sources of a fourteenth-century Icelander's knowledge of late Anglo-Saxon history are further delineated in a third, concluding article on the Játvarthar saga. There is the usual bibliography of the previous year's studies in all branches of Anglo-Saxon.

Among topics covered in this volume, two important authorship questions are settled; the discovery of a major Northumbrian settlement is reported; the conceptions of Old English literature which have prevailed during the last three hundred years are paraded for critical inspection and substantial contributions are made to our knowledge of subjects as diverse as a monastic library of the first rank, eighth-century Latin poetic activity, metrical technique and literary convention in our greatest surviving vernacular poem; the family basis of political power in the tenth century; late Anglo-Saxon legal concepts; and scientific exposition in the early eleventh century. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book (with a separate section onomastic section). There is also an index to volumes 6 – 10, complementing the index found in volume 5.

Bibliography for 1975 Martin Biddle, Alan Brown, T. J. Brown, Peter A. Clayton and Peter Hunter Blair Index to volumes 1–5. Cambridge University Press 1976, cm.15x23, pp.319, legatura editoriale cartonata, sopracoperta figurata. Manuscripts are the form of evidence most studied in this volume: the likely seventh- and eighth-century English ownership of a fifth-century copy of a Hieronymian commentary is meticulously reconstructed; an edition and full discussion of the eighth-century Anglian collection of royal genealogies and regnal lists advance our understanding of this difficult material; and it is shown that most of the drawings in the Junius codex of Old English poetry probably derived from an illustrated copy of an Old Saxon poem on Genesis which came to this country in the middle of the ninth century. Vernacular literature is well represented: two leading features of narrative technique are examined, one in Beowulf, the greatest surviving poem of the age, and the other in the works of Ælfric, perhaps its greatest writer of prose. A wide-ranging survey of some of the main problems in the modern-day study of Anglo-Saxon coinage makes a fundamental contribution both to that study itself and to the understanding of it by those in other specializations.

volume a cura di Denys Zacharopoulos, Massimiliano Gioni Pistoia, Gli Ori, 2011, cm20,5x28, pp.120, brossura cop.fig.a col.con bandelle. Edizione in inglese. Il volume viene pubblicato in appoggio alla mostra a Ca' Pesaro a Venezia in occasione della Biennale 2011. "Pier Paolo Calzolari - dice Denys Zacharopoulos nel suo saggio - è una delle personalità artistiche più interessanti della sua generazione. Ha cominciato la sua brillante carriera come pittore a metà degli anni Sessanta, tra Bologna, Venezia e Roma, a contatto con l'attività di artisti quali Tancredi, Bendini e Turcato. I suoi primi lavori seguono le linee di un disegno libero e poetico, che si espande in modo irregolare in una suggestiva e misteriosa atmosfera di interiorità e astrazione. La definizione dello spazio pittorico determina collisioni inattese di dettagli, tracce, accidenti e ritmi di presenza, dentro una obliqua, latente condizione geometrica. Fin dagli esordi, i suoi quadri eccedono la bidimensionalità della tela per penetrare lo spazio oltre la superficie pittorica dell'oggetto raffigurato. La sua visione poetica è fortemente evocativa, la scrittura nervosa. Il lavoro di Calzolari raduna una varietà di tracce e intensità esistenziali eterogenee in uno spazio frammentario e complesso".

Pisa, Felici Editori 2021, cm.23x22, pp.132, ill.colori. brossura copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Itinerari,1. Nella suoi duemila anni di storia Pisa ha subìto diverse radicali discontinuità, con conseguenti trasformazioni importanti della struttura e del paesaggio urbano. In particolare nei secoli dal XVI al XX viene cancellata - in parte semplicemente occultandola - l'immagine della città medievale e attraverso successivi apporti di progressiva trasformazione e arricchimento, prende forma un nuovo agglomerato urbano, prima con gli interventi medicei, poi con quelli lorenesi, per finire con i tentativi di modernizzazione dell'Ottocento (le nuove piazze, il rifacimento dei lungarni, lo sviluppo verso la stazione ferroviaria), che danno luogo a quella città stratificata che per convenzione chiamiamo città storica, su cui si abbatterà l'immane distruzione della guerra, seguita da una infelice ricostruzione. Il libro documenta le principali trasformazioni della città storica degli ultimi cinque secoli e il recente avvio dei processi di recupero edilizio e urbanistico, auspicio di una adeguata trasmissione al futuro del suo ancora grande e irriproducibile patrimonio culturale.
