"We first conceived of this study of the Lyon Terence in March 2016 when GTH, then a visiting fellow at Harvard University's Villa i Tatti research institute, proposed a jointly written, comprehensive monograph on it; as is argued in the introduction, despite the significance of this incunabulum for intellectual history hardly anything substantial has so far appeared on it in modern scholarship. Nevertheless, our engagement with this seminal book goes back several years before this. In 2010 AT assisted in identifying a single leaf of the Lyon Terence possessed by the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu in New Zealand, and drafted an online catalogue description for it, and subsequently the Gallery kindly gave us permission to use an image of this leaf on the cover of our jointly edited collection of studies Terence between Antiquity and the Age of Printing (Brill, 2015), in which we and our other contributors referred to this work at several junctures"--

This work is an edition of Edmer of Canterbury's 12th-century "Vita Sancti Wilfridi" ("Life of St Wilfrid"); it also includes a critical edition of the Latin text, a translation, historical introduction and commentary, a rhetorical analysis of Edmer's style, and two appendices. The introduction examines the influence of 12th century ecclesiastical politics on the development of the cult of St Wilfrid, and reassesses the prejudices of the early accounts of Wilfrid's life by Stephen (Eddius) and Bede.The edition is based on all known surviving texts of the "vita", including a recently discovered witness in The Ballarat Fine Arts Gallery, Australia. It traces the influence and use of the "vita" during the three centuries after it was written, with specific reference to historical and ecclesiastical compilations and its use as a source for liturgical texts. It also assesses the early printed tradition of the "vita". Bernard Muir is Reader in Medieval Language and Literature in the English Department, University of Melbourne. His publications include The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry (Exeter) and A Pre-Conquest English Prayerbook (Boydell).
