Books by William of Malmesbury

First modern English translation of important source for English church history from Augustine's arrival in Canterbury in 597 down to the 1120s.

The Miracles of the Virgin Mary, written c. 1135 by the Benedictine monk and historian William of Malmesbury (d. 1143), is an important document in the history of Marian devotion in medieval Europe.

Edited by William Stubbs (1825-1901) and published in 1887, volume one of this two-volume set devoted to the Latin historical works of William of Malmesbury (c.1090-c.1142), one of the most important of all the medieval historians, presents the first two books of his 'Deeds of the English Kings'.

The Historia Novella is the key source for the succession dispute between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda which brought England to civil war in the twelfth century. Edmund King has provided a major new edition, with revised translation, of the most important eyewitness account of the `anarchy' of King Stephen's reign.

William of Malmesbury (c.1090-c.1143) wrote 'Lives of saints: of Wulfstan II of Worcester', 'Dunstan of Canterbury', 'Patrick', and the more obscure 'Benignus and Indract', honoured at Glastonbury. This volume contains editions and translations of all these works, with an assessment of their importance as sources of information.
