Description

The topics of the session embrace codicological and historiographical methodologies. Two papers are devoted to manuscripts: Dublin, Trinity College, 432 and Cambridge, University Library, G.g.1.1. A third paper suggests how Wace might have obtained a copy of his source, a variant version of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae. The final paper places the twelfth-century Siège d'Antioche in the context of Anglo-Norman historiography. Maureen B M Boulton
