Archaeology and History of Glastonbury Abbey

Richard Sharpe FBA (1954-2020) Professor of Diplomatic in the University of Oxford, and President of the Surtees Society from 2002, was one of Britain's most eminent manuscript scholars with over 200 publications before he died. He left unfinished his study of the early deeds of the great Benedictine abbey of St Mary in York, which has been completed in his memory by the society.

A festschrift of considerable thematic integrity, by the meticulous and original scholarship of its contributors, and by an exceptionally high standard of production... a distinguished body of scholarship which sheds light on many aspects of medieval history.
