Bundle 2: Codex and Cloister

Overview

In this bundle you will

  • Immerse yourself in the strange—and surprisingly cosmopolitan—culture of early medieval Britain;
  • Learn how medieval manuscripts were made;
  • Sample some of the literature produced in early medieval monasteries (including richly illuminated gospel books and poems on topics ranging from the Crucifixion of Christ to a scholar’s pet cat); and
  • Test your wits on some Old English riddles.
