View through CrossRef
Part I of this article1treated the three main streams of lapidary knowledge current in the early Middle Ages (the classical encyclopaedists, the patristic2and the medical traditions, with particular attention, in the last-named, to the lapidary of Damigeron and its recensions);3gloss traditions, terminology and popular beliefs about jewels in Anglo-Saxon England; and the origin and content of the Old English Lapidary, with a new edition of it. This part II treats the lapidary passage in Bede'sExplanatio Apocalypsis;a Hiberno-Latin tractDe Duodecim Lapidibus(henceforthDDL) used by Bede; and (with a critical edition) a tenth-century Latin hymnCives celestis patrie, quite likely composed in Anglo-Saxon England, and closely based on Bede's work.4
