SAWYERS, P.H. - Anglo-Saxon Charters. An Annotated List and Bibliography.

. London, 1968. xiii,538pp. Cloth. (From the library of B.M. Rosenthal, with his bookplate).*The significance of this work might easily be underrated. The term charter is here made to include writs and wills, and an astonishingly wide range of publications has been ransacked for the sake of the compilation. Dr. Sawyer also supplies a note of the chief critical comments which have been made about the date and authenticity of his texts and he has been able to cite in each case the MSS. from which the printed versions have been derived. The whole collection with its extensive bibliographical apparatus will prove an indispensible work of primary reference to all serious students of Anglo-Saxon history..
