Lawrence-Mathers, A. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6216-624X (2016) The Reading Computus Manuscript; St John's College Cambridge MS A 22. Reading Medieval Studies, XLII. pp. 45-62. ISSN 0950-3129 (ISBN 9780704915541)

Abstract/Summary

This article provides the first, detailed analysis of the textual contents of this manuscript, and places these findings within the context of monastic life in the Anglo-Norman realm. It argues that the Reading manuscript can be placed within a small group of Anglo-Norman volumes; and examines the intellectual significance of this. Since computus is a subject which is relatively little understood it also discusses the place of the Reading book within the developments in computus at the time.
