Written in Northumbria in the tenth or eleventh century, the \u003ci\u003eHistoria\u003c\/i\u003e presents a striking contrast with earlier lives of Cuthbertsuch as Bede's, and is a valuable teaching text.\u003cbr\u003e  The present edition is the first to make use of all three surviving manuscripts of the \u003ci\u003eHistoria\u003c\/i\u003e, and is also the first English translation of this brief but importanttext. It includes a reassessment of the text's purpose and date, a detailed historical commentary, excerpts of related texts, and a discussion of the patrimony of St Cuthbert, including maps of estates and a catalogue of the morethan one hundred vills listed in the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    TED JOHNSON SOUTH is Associate Professor of History, Western New England College.","brand":"Ted Johnson South","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280828805371,"sku":"9780859916271","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780859916271.jpg?v=1772483213","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ihistoria-de-sancto-cuthbertoi-9780859916271","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
