Dr. Lee ends each lecture with a quick summary (a few score words) of the lecture that is worthwhile. 
In the lecture on prose Dr. Lee, using examples, characterizes the Anglo-Saxon as being interested in how the world around them works. One example is a description of the function of the liver. They don't get it right but don't just say, "and God did it this way." This brings to mind Hooke and The System of the World and Russell Mead and his book, God and Gold: Britain, America, and the Making of the Modern World.

Exeter Book

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Exeter Book, Exeter Cathedral Library MS 3501, also known as the Codex Exoniensis, is a tenth century book or codex which is an anthology of Anglo-Saxon poetry. It is one of the four major Anglo-Saxon literature codices. The book was donated to the library of the Exeter Cathedral by Leofric, the first bishop of Exeter. It is believed originally to have contained 131 leaves, of which the first 8 have been replaced with other leaves; the original first 8 pages are lost. The Exeter Book is the largest known collection of Old English literature that exists today.

Beowulf: sole surviving manuscript
British Library Cotton MS Vitellius A.XV, f.132

A high-quality version of this image can be purchased from British Library Images Online. For more information email imagesonline@bl.uk

This is the only known medieval manuscript of the epic saga of 'Beowulf', the most important surviving work of Anglo-Saxon poetry. The manuscript dates from the early 11th century, two generations before the Norman Conquest - though the poem itself is probably even older. Written in Old English, it tells of a thrilling struggle between the hero, Beowulf, and a bloodthirsty monster called Grendel.

Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The initial page of the Peterborough Chronicle.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a collection of annals in Old English narrating the history of the Anglo-Saxons. The annals were created late in the 9th century, probably in Wessex, during the reign of Alfred the Great. Multiple manuscript copies were made and distributed to monasteries across England and were independently updated. In one case, the chronicle was still being actively updated in 1154.

Alfred the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_the_Great
Alfred the Great (also Ælfred from the Old English Ælfrēd, pronounced [ˈælfreːd]) (c. 84926 October 899) was king of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred is noted for his defence of the kingdom against the Danish Vikings, becoming the only English King to be awarded the epithet "the Great".[1] Alfred was the first King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the Anglo-Saxons". Details of his life are discussed in a work by the Welsh scholar Asser. Alfred was a learned man, and encouraged education and improved his kingdom's law system as well as its military structure.
Dr. Lee recommends Alfred for his contribution to Old English prose.
