Symeon of Durham: Libellus de Exordio Atque Procursu Istius Hoc Est Dunhelmensis Ecclesie: Tract on the Origins and Progress of This the Church of Dur

by Symeon of Durham

The church of Durham, founded in 995, claimed in the Middle Ages to be in origin the church of Lindisfarne or Holy Island, the members of which had fled in the face of Viking raids and had wandered for long across northern England before re-establishing their church. This book is a newly edited and translated version of the most complete and detailed account of the history of this church. Important as a piece of early post-Conquest historiography...
