Books by Francis Wormald

Because it was the nature of each Church's kalendar to reflect the individual feasts and saints which were venerated at that church, kalendars are invariably the most precious witnesses to the worship of individual Anglo-Saxon churches. This title contains twenty Anglo-Saxon liturgical Kalendars.

Amongst the manuscripts collected by Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, the most venerable is the manuscript of the Gospels formerly owned by the great Benedictine Abbey of St Augustine's Canterbury. In this 1954 volume Professor Wormald tells what may be surmised about the origin and history of this manuscript and examines in detail the surviving work.
