DURING THE MIDDLE AGES.
PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.

On

the 26th of January 1857, the Master of the Rolls

submitted to the Treasury a proposal for the publication

of materials for the History of this Country from the

Invasion of the

Romans

to the

Reign of Henry VIII.

proposed that each chronicle or historical docuto be edited should be treated in the

same way as if the editor were engaged on an Editio Princeps and for this purpose the most correct text should be formed from an accurate collation of the best MSS.
;

Master of the Rolls suggested that the editor should give an account of the MSS. employed by him, of their age and their peculiarities; that he should add to the work a brief account of the life and times of the author, and any remarks necessary to explain the chronology but no other note or comment was to be allowed, except what might be necessary to establish the correctness of the

calculated for the

accomplishment of this important national object, in an effectual and satisfactory manner, within a reasonable time, and provided proper attention be paid to economy, in making the detailed arrangements, without unnecessary expense."

They expressed their approbation of the proposal that each chronicle and historical document should be edited in such a manner as to represent with all possible correctness the text of each writer, derived from a collation of the best MSS., and that no notes should be added,
except such as were illustrative of the various readings.

They suggested, however, that the preface

to each

work

should contain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the Master of the Rolls, a biographical account of
the author, so far as authentic materials existed for that
purpose, and an estimate of his historical credibility and
value.

For as now the general instruction in some Latin poetry and history, some Greek declensions and sentences, tinges with a foreign complexion the educated classes, and gives them a separate language and different associations from those of the more genuine Englishman so also in Saxon times, the more inquisitive and leisured men went abroad for increase of knowledge, to the masters of philosophy and science.

There was, alongside of the sceptic and materialist philosopher, an early doctrine about dreams, and a Artemon, Antiphon, Straton, Philocopious literature.

Epicharmus, Serapion, Kratippos, Dionysios Rhodios, Hermippos, are named as authors on this subject, and patrons of the common superstition. There were established and frequented dreaming places, as the fanes

Four hides of land at East Heole, where Sigwerd lived, were granted in 963 to Abingdon, and Abingdon is a very few miles from Eynesham. iElfric had imbibed the tenets of his teachers, and was a strong advocate of celibacy in the clerical
order.

Again there is another method about these matters that you may know about a pregnant woman, of whether sex she is to bear a child. If she walks tardy and has hollow eyes, she will bear a boy if she goes quick and has swollen eyes, she will bear a girl. Again another method, take two worts in hand, namely lily and rose carry them to a pregnant woman, bid her take whether of the ^w sne chooses of those worts if she takes a lily, she will bear a boy if she takes a rose, she will bring forth a girl. Again there is another method, by observing if the woman steps more with the heels upon the earth, she will bring forth a boy if she treads more with the toes, she will have a girl. Again there is another way, if the womans belly is high up, she will bear a boy if it be sunk down, she will produce a girl. Again another matter, if a woman be four or five months gone with child, and she then is often eating nuts or acorns or any fresh fruits, then it sometimes happens thereby that the child turns out silly.

The

old leeches laid

it

down

in Latin books that in

every month there are ever two days which are very dangerous for drinking any medical potion, or for blood letting; because there is one hour on each of those
days, on

which

if

any vein

is

opened,

it is loss

of

life

or long disease.
his horse blood

leech tested this doctrine,

it

and

let

on that hour, and

is

soon lay dead.

Now

here are the days as

said here.

The first day in March, that is, in the month Hlyda, and the fourth day before the end of it. In the next month, which we call April, the tenth day is mischievous, and the eleventh before its end. In the month of May, the third day is mischievous, and the seventh before the end of it. In the month of June, the tenth day, and the fifteenth
before the end of
it.

In July, the twelfth, and the tenth before the end. In August, the first day, and the second before the
end.

In September, the third day, and the tenth before

the end.

In October, the third, and the tenth from the end. In November, the fifth, and the third from the end. In December, the seventh, and the tenth from, the
end.

In January, the

first,

and the seventh from the end.

In February, the fourth, and the third from the end.

In the commencement of this series we have put the month of March, which men call Hlyda, since it is the
beginning, after right reckoning, of
the Almighty

Now

God on that month again of the moon it is much

the year, and created all creation.

to be observed

that none let blood on the fourth night of the

We have further heard a man say, that no man shouldlive, who had blood nor if he were then let from him on All Hallows day wounded. This is no sorcery, but wise men have made experiment of it, through the holy wisdom, as God Almighty dictated to them.

On the fourth and fifth, it is a good dream, keep it earnestly On the sixth, let that which you see in your heart. be firm in your breast, mind your thought do not perish. On the seventh night, whatsoever cometh before the eye will after a time have its fulfilment. On the eighth and ninth, whatever appeared in a dream to you, will become public. If you saw something unpleasant, turn your head to the east, and pray God On the tenth, your dream shall pass off for mercy. harm.

He says, " Oswine, rex Cantuariorum, if there ever were such a " person, is known to us from these charters alone and " so little known to us from them, that the compiler " of the chartulary in which they are found, confounds w him with St. Oswine of Northumberland, and notes " discrepancies in the dates upon that supposition/' It b that on the vacancy of the primacy is related by Beda, by the death of Deusdedit, a consultation was held by Oswin, then Bretwald, or the great monarch who made his influence everywhere felt throughout this island, and by Ecgberht, king of Kent, as to the appointment of his successor.

With none of these do I see much From Calmets Commentary resemblance in our text. on the Regula Benedicti we learn that in the service of the institution of abbots these words occur " Con" firma hoc Deus quod operatus es in nobis," with Gloria.

It was his custom after three or four morsels, to drink, by reason of infirmity, some moderate portion of what we are not told, but as it was moderate it must have been wine. It so happened, not noticing what he was doing, that he emptied the hanap. Immediately pallor overspread his face and torture griped his bowels he rose and went to bed, but, with some pious reflexions, taking heart, he soon got up again, d none the worse.

There were then three religious foundations in WinChester, the Old Minster, the New or that of Hide and a nunnery. The king and iEj?elwold soon drove out the clergy from the New Minster, and put monks
in their places, with at their head iE]?elgar, their abbot,

afterwards archbishop of Canterbury, 988 to 990 A.D.

In one of the Saxon charters which recites these grants, the king declares his determination to restore everywhere the deserted monasteries, to plant them with monks and mynchens under the rule of St. Benedict. Ely was no longer a double foundation, men and women, but became of monks only, under abbot Brihtno'S, a disciple of the bishops. Many additions were soon made to the estates of Ely, and they bore their fruit by and by in the noble edifice to the honour of God which all regard The charters testify as strongly as with admiration.

But that is not to be wondered at, as if it were unusual for God Almighty gloriously to reward every one of those who promise him good, and then fully perform the promise. Our Lord Christ is in these things with all gladness of mind very highly to be praised. The Almighty Lord indeed is cognizant of all, he who long before knows all that is to come and he knew how good a servant Eadgav would ever be to him, and was ever merciful to him, and alwavs destined him all good things for his advantage. As if the right wise and faithful Recompense!*, not with words but with deeds, had thus preached and said Thou now zealously protectest and furtherest my name and my dominion, that is my churches, which I rightly have in my special power in recompense I will magnify thy name, and enlarge thy kingdom, which thou holdest under my subjection, and will further it with good.

As we before said, by the recollection of his promise, in the beginning of his kingdom, he very thoughtfully began to improve the place, as he before promised in his childhood, and enriched it with all thino;s to such a degree that it was nowise different nor inferior to any of those many old foundations, which his ancestors had formerly for a long period encouraged.

have reckoned this translation to make much difference. Well may it be of no consequence with what language a man is begotten unto God and allured to the true faith, provided only that he do come unto God. Unlearned natives therefore may have knowledge of the holy Rule, through an explanation in their own language, so as more zealously to serve God, and to have no excuse to the effect that from ignorance they must make mistakes. Hence then I with all devotion pray my successors and intreat in the Lords name, that they ever increase the observance of this holy Rule through the grace of Christ, and by mending it bring it to a perfect end. Let none of them by suggestion of the devil, or through any covetousness, venture to diminish the patrimony of God, nor seek any excuse by which it mav be ^
