The 'laterculus Malalianus' and the School of Archbishop Theodore

The 'Laterculus Malalianus', a historical exegesis of the life of Christ, appears to be the only complete text to survive from the hand of Archbishop Theodore at Canterbury, the first school of Anglo-Saxon England. This edition presents a translation of and commentary on the text, and in the introduction Jane Stevenson examines the intellectual milieu of this work, argues the case for attribution to Theodore, and suggests the need for a complete rethinking of the basis of Anglo-Saxon culture.
