Abstract: 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.

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.

La mère des rois de Célestin Bosc (1901). Vendetta contre Bonaparte de Jean Petithuguenin (1928). Le dernier vol de l'Aigle d'Emile Ripert (1927 et 1938). Napoléon Bonaparte: enfant d'Ajaccio de Pierre Bonardi (1935). Ajaccio, Albiana 2018, cm.16,5x24, pp.616, Relié. Trésors de la littérature populaire. Deux empereurs successifs, deux révolutions, trois républiques et une monarchie ont parfois ruiné, parfois enrichi les familles insulaires au gré de leurs adhésions politiques plus ou moins heureuses. Le statut social de celles-ci, illustré en honneurs et titres s'est aussi exprimé par l'accumulation de biens immobiliers, terres et demeures,... mais aussi par l'acquisition de mobilier, souvent de prestige, tout au moins de qualité. L'exposition temporaire de la Maison Bonaparte (2018), propose de visiter ces témoins du passé conservés dans les demeures patriciennes de l'île. L'ouvrage, constitué de contributions de spécialistes insulaires, continentaux et internationaux (historiens, historiens de l'Art, conservateurs, ébénistes, etc.), ouvre des pistes de recherches originales : modèles, fabrication, réseaux commerciaux, histoires particulières, etc. En outre il propose pour la première fois l'inventaire complet détaillé et historicisé du mobilier de la Maison Bonaparte, et un catalogue des oeuvres réunies pour l'exposition. Pionnier, l'ouvrage offre au lecteur une première mais fondamentale approche, richement illustrée, de l'intimité des intérieurs corses du XIXe siècle.
