Richard Sharpe FBA (1954-2020) Professor of Diplomatic in the University of Oxford, and President of the Surtees Society from 2002, was one of Britain's most eminent manuscript scholars with over 200 publications before he died. He left unfinished his study of the early deeds of the great Benedictine abbey of St Mary in York, which has been completed in his memory by the society.
A festschrift of considerable thematic integrity, by the meticulous
and original scholarship of its contributors, and by an
exceptionally high standard of production... a distinguished body
of scholarship which sheds light on many aspects of medieval
history.

attractive collection... This handsome collection of essays serves

Britain, and to remind us that Glastonbury remains as much a
challenge as a 20th-century state of mind.
