Abstract
Northumbria and the Book of Kells
T J Brown
219 - 246
(Jarrow Lecture for 1971). Previous arguments for the date and provenance of the Book of Kells are reviewed. A detailed reassessment of the layout, scripts, minor ornament and minor initials shows that the palaeographic ancestry of Kells lies in the Lindisfarne-Echternach-Durham Gospels group, all here dated to c 698. There are also links to the Leningrad Bede and Jarrow/Wearmouth. A mid-8th century date need not be too early. Some aspects of the manuscript's art do not seem to be Northumbrian but are found in Pictish art. The most likely location for its Northumbrian-influenced scriptorium is in eastern Scotland. An appendix by C D Verey demonstrates that the chief corrector of the Durham Gospels, who used the Italo-Northumbrian text type, also corrected the Lindisfarne Gospels and this is taken as further evidence for the attribution of the Durham Gospels to Lindisfarne. Additional notes take account of recent publications, particularly Koehler's close association of Kells with Amiatinus, Lindisfarne and the Durham Cassiodorus. R N B
Structural criticism: a plea for more systematic study of Anglo-Saxon buildings
Harold McCarter Taylor
259 - 272
This brief, simple but very basic statement of the methodology of AS architectural history describes in detail how to carry out - and record - a critical analysis of a standing building, and how to relate the structural evidence to that obtained from excavation or from documents (including epigraphy). Appendices list AS churches for which contemporary literary evidence exists and which contain fabric of more than one pre-Conquest date. D P

The Anglo-Saxon house: a new review
Peter V Addyman
273 - 307
The review draws on published and unpublished work to provide a very wide conspectus of early, middle and late Saxon houses, from humble hut to royal vill, with several pages of comparative plans. Recent excavations have overturned nearly all previous ideas about Saxon living standards, although few fresh generalisations about either buildings or settlement types can yet be made. Sunken huts, whether or not the commonest form of dwelling in nucleated settlements, belong essentially to the primary (late Roman) phase, and when found in later periods usually have specialist functions. In upper social strata, North Elmham's episcopal estate contrasts interestingly with the royal estate of Yeavering. The large, hall-type houses in England differ in fundamental ways from the Continental versions, for instance in supporting the roof on load-bearing walls (or possibly crucks) rather than on aisle-posts. On present evidence, only newly-founded villages of 5th-6th century such as West Stow appear to conform to the Continental model.
