Synopsis
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact.

1st edition. Near fine cloth copy in a good if somewhat edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: xi, 196, 31 pages: illustrations; 24 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents: Northumbria in the time of Wilfrid / D.P. Kirby -- Saint Wilfrid / D.H. Farmer -- Wilfrid's landholdings in Northumbria / Michael Roper -- Saint Wilfrid's church at Hexham / Edward Gilbert -- Early Northumbrian sculpture at Hexham / Rosemary Cramp -- The Anglo-Saxon metalwork from Hexham / Richard N. Bailey. Subjects: Wilfrid Saint, Archbishop of York 634-709. Christian art and symbolism Medieval, 500-1500. Christian saints England York; Biography. Art, Anglo-Saxon England Hexham. Christian art and symbolism Medieval. Christian Art. Symbolism. York. Archbishops. Northumberland History. Genre: Bibliography. History. Illustrated. Summary: Three papers and associated appendices are of archaeological interest. E Gilbert (81-113) discusses the literary and archaeological evidence for the church built by Wilfrid and his successors, suggesting that the crypt is an early Christian type to which a western entrance was subsequently added. Partly underground, this crypt stood in a nave, with wall passages, which was later enlarged by Acca. The building had a transept and the surviving apse was part of a two-staged sanctuary. The paper includes consideration of churches at Peterborough, Repton and Ripon. In an examination of Hexham's pre-Norman sculpture (115-40) R J Cramp discusses the function of the architectural fragments and identifies late Roman elements in their decoration. In treating 'Acca's cross' and associated vine-scrolls in Northumbria it is suggested that the original source for this motif is Middle Eastern, perhaps in some metalwork form. Appendix II (172-9) lists all Anglo-Saxon sculpture from Hexham and in Appendix III (180-84) E Coatsworth examines two depictions of the crucifixion. R N Bailey (141-67) discusses pre-Norman metalwork associated with Hexham and gathers together surviving information about its discovery and subsequent ownership. Among other new interpretations it is shown that the bucket handle-attachment consists of a mask set over a small modelled quadruped closely paralleled on an escutcheon from Gausel (Norway). Appendix IV by H E Pagan (185-90) examines the 9th-century coins found in the bucket. 1 Kg. Seller Inventory # 322019
