Klappentext This volume provides insight into Anglo-Saxon history and culture. Zusammenfassung That Alcuin addressed to the monks of Lindisfarne the question! 'What has Ingeld to do with Christ?'! is a much repeated dogma in Old English studies; but in this book close examination of the letter in question shows that it was addressed not to Lindisfarne nor to a monastic community! but to a bishop in Mercia.
