Parker Library on the Web
Students and scholars of Anglo-Saxon literature will be glad to know that the Library has acquired access to Parker Library on the Web, an interactive, web-based workspace designed to support use and study of the manuscripts in the historic Parker Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. The Parker Library’s holdings of Old English texts accounts for nearly a quarter of all extant manuscripts in Anglo-Saxon, including the earliest copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (c. 890), the Old English Bede and King Alfred’s translation of Gregory the Great’s Pastoral Care. Other subjects represented in the collection are music, medieval travelogues and maps, bestiaries, royal ceremonies, historical chronicles and Bibles. The Parker Library also holds a magnificent collection of English illuminated manuscripts.
