SASLC
Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture (SASLC) is a collaborative project that aims to produce a multivolume reference work providing a convenient summary of current scholarship on the knowledge and use of literary sources in Anglo-Saxon England. Departing from J. D. A. Ogilvy’s Books Known to the English, 597–1066 and incorporating more recent scholarship, SASLC will include contributions from specialists in the various subfields of Anglo-Saxon studies. Readers will find information on manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogs, Anglo-Latin and Old English versions, citations, quotations, and direct references to authors and works under appropriate subject headings. Discussions of source relationships, accompanied by relevant bibliography, weigh and consider differing interpretations and possibilities for further research. An international team of editors and contributors writes entries for the project volumes.

SOURCES OF ANGLO-SAXON LITERARY CULTURE: The Apocrypha
|
|
“This little volume brings up to date the entries on apocrypha
first published in Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture: A Trial
Version.
. . . [The entries] address almost eighty separate apocryphal texts and
are supported by a bibliography of over 480 titles. New to these revised
and updated entries are discussions of 2 Enoch, the Assumption
of Moses,
the Versus sibyllae de iudicio, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the Apocalypse
of the Virgin, as well as a concluding Miscellaneous section that features
several texts and collections of texts that have customarily been referred
to by medievalists as ‘apocrypha,’ including the Apocrypha
Priscillianistica, the Epistle of Barnabas, the Seven
Heavens Apocryphon,
and the Three Utterances Apocryphon. The result is a significantly enlarged
survey of apocryphal texts that in one way or another found their way
to early medieval Britain and left their mark on Anglo-Saxon literary
culture.”—from the Foreword by Thomas N. Hall
