Reviews

John Hudson has admirably risen to the challenge of producing a readable translation of this text with exhaustive and erudite commentary. Scholars in the many fields touched by this text, from Anglo-Saxon legal history to Anglo-Norman historiography, are deeply in his debt for allowing the Abingdon chroniclers, both of them, to speak for themselves.
*Early Medieval Europe*

The volume is a rich source for the history of the major Benedictine abbey in the Anglo-Saxon and early post-Conquest period and of its importance in the ecclesiastical, social and economic life of England.
*Janet Burton, The English Historical Review*
