Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms | Claire Breay, Simon Keynes, Joanna Story | Talks at Google

For this extraordinary talk about the British Library's once-in-a-lifetime exhibition "Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms", we are joined by the exhibition's curator Dr. Claire Breay, Head of Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts of the British Library, Prof. Joanna Story, co-editor of the exhibition's catalog and Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Leicester, and Prof. Simon Keynes, Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms displays treasures from the British Library’s own collection, including the beautifully illuminated Lindisfarne Gospels, Beowulf and Bede's Ecclesiastical History, alongside stunning finds from Sutton Hoo and the Staffordshire Hoard. It gives visitors and opportunity to see the world-famous Domesday Book, which offers its unrivaled depiction of the landscape of late Anglo-Saxon England, as well as the Codex Amiatinus, a giant Northumbrian Bible taken to Italy in 716, which returned to England for the first time in 1300 years. In this talk several of the world-leading experts on the Anglo-Saxons explain the extraordinary documents on display.

The artwork of the Anglo Saxons is purely amazing along with the early craftsmanship of the early Irish monks. We often call it the dark ages but yet this video show us how colourful the dark ages were. Very entertaining video and educational. I wish I had the community tab to share this with our awesome subs. Bragi Magnarsson.

I love seeing how the Bible has been so important in the history of English-speaking peoples.
