Codex diplomaticus aevi Saxonici. Londini, sumptibus Societatis [i.e. English Historical Society], 1839-48. First edition, large paper copy printed for one of the Society's members, John Mee Mathew, Esq., with his name printed in red on the verso of the half-title; 6 volumes, royal 8vo, contemporary half green morocco, gilt paneled spines, t.e.g., with the gilt stamp on the upper covers of the Birmingham Law Society and their gilt supralibros on the back covers, rubberstamps on title-pp. and occasionally in the text; upper joint of volume I tender, several others rubbed; all in all, a good, sound set. "After his marriage (in 1836) Kemble appears to have resided in London for some time, employing himself in literary work, and specially in transcribing in the British Museum, and in various collegiate and cathedral libraries, the Anglo-Saxon charters afterwards printed in his ëCodex Diplomaticusí … In his knowledge of Teutonic philology he was far ahead of any of his fellow-countrymen, and was the recognised exponent of the investigations of Jacob Grimm and other German writers on the subject. With regard to the study of Anglo-Saxon, Kemble had a more scientific as well as a more accurate knowledge of the language than any earlier scholar, and a deeper insight into its relations to other branches of Teutonic speech. He used his knowledge chiefly in illustrating Anglo-Saxon literature and history, writing in all his original work as a man of letters no less than as a scholar. In commenting on an early fable he notes its significance, traces its development, and examines the forms under which it appears at different times and in various countries. The publication of his collection of documents belonging to the Anglo-Saxon period may be said to have laid the foundation of our present knowledge of the institutions and customs of the English before the Norman conquest. Useful additions may be made to his collection, but his ëCodex Diplomaticusí must remain the great original of all such undertakings, and the pattern to be followed by all future editors of charters. Besides the exact knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and the skill in deciphering manuscripts displayed by this book, it presents, though so unobtrusively as to be almost likely to escape notice, proofs of an amazing amount of knowledge and critical acumen. Every charter which offers ground for suspicion is marked with an asterisk. Kemble's work was always done with minute care, and a charter that he has not marked as spurious may as a rule safely be accepted as genuine. Founded on the ëCodex,í Kemble's ëSaxons in Englandí was, until the appearance of Bishop Stubbs's ëConstitutional Historyí in 1873, the best English treatise on the polity of our ancestors before the coming of the Normans" (DNB).
