Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters on the Early History of Glastonbury Abbey In making a short contribution to the early history of Glastonbury Abbey I feel that I need offer no apology, as the old Tor itself, although 20 or 25 miles distant as the crow flies, is visible from my windows, and invites the attempt. More often than not it is draped in the mists that sweep up the Severn Sea from the north-west and lies half hid in the mirage of the moorlands. To write about the birth of Grlastonbury is to write about a creation that has sprung from the sea, that has grown up silently in the weird marshes and meres of the "sea-moor-saetas," and that loves to entangle itself in the magic mists of antiquity. Must we always adhere to the litera scripta in speaking of Glastonbury? It is the land of legend, romantic figures, and shadowy heroes, and there is sometimes more substance to be found in these, especially when place-names, topography, dedications, and the consentanea vox of antiquity confirm them, than in the litera scripta of the monastic scriptorium, where the greatest efforts of the Benedictine pens were directed to invent, to simulate, and to forge, so that the detective genius of a Stubbs can hardly winnow the true record from the false.

Download or read book The Early History of Glastonbury written by William (of Malmesbury) and published by . This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatise on the early history of Glastonbury by the great twelfth century historian William of Malmesbury is a crucial source of our knowledge of Glastonbury in the Saxon period, and contains important evidence on the obscure origins of the abbey. Because it was recognised as such by the monks at the time, it was rewritten very soon after its composition to include new stories about the abbey's history and estates, a process which went on well into the thirteenth century. As a result, the best available texts contain a great deal which was not in William's original work, and although the problem has long been known, no full-scale attempt to disentangle the original work from the later editions has been attempted previously. Mr Scott provides an edition and translation of the text as it has come down to us, and, by reference to William's other works, prints a reconstruction of the original. His introduction is a study of William's own historical work, his sources and skills as a historian, followed by an examination of the motives for the reworking of the text and the factors which influenced the creation of the great Glastonbury legends: the apostolic foundation of the 'old church', the arrival of Joseph of Arimathea and the burial there of King Arthur.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Abbot of Glastonbury and His Companions: An Historical Sketch The history 'of Glastonbury is the history of its abbey without its abbey Glastonbury were nothing.1 Even among those great ecclesias tical institutions, the Benedictine abbeys of medieval England, the history of Glastonbury has a Character all its own. I will not insult its venerable age, says a recent historian, by so much as contrasting it with the foundations of yesterday which arose under the influence of the Cistercian movement, for they play but a small part indeed in the history of this church and realm. Glastonbury is something more than N etley and Tintern, Rievaux and F oun tains. It is something more again than the Benedictine houses which arose at the bidding of the Norman Conqueror, of his race and of his companions; more than Selby and Battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Discoveries at Glastonbury Abbey: An Account of the Excavations Undertaken by Mr. F. Bligh Bond, With His Notes Upon the Discoveries; Together With a Short History of the Abbey This Booklet is intended to present a narrative, as complete as possible up to the date of issue, of the result of the researches within the Abbey enclosure made by Mr. Bligh Bond, who in 1908 commenced the work of exploration, under the auspices of the Somerset Archaeological Society. The reason for it being undertaken was the considerable confusion of ideas as to the exact plan of the Abbey in its missing parts, such plans as had been published being of a contradictory nature. Therefore, the details of the remarkable discoveries that have been made, and the description of the remains, are of the greatest interest and value, both to the student and the casual visitor to the Abbey. The various reports concerning the discoveries that have appeared from time to time have been incorporated into the booklet and, for the benefit of the uninitiated, headed with a brief sketch of the Abbey history. G.E.M. For a fuller and more technical description of the architecture of the Abbey, with illustrations of several parts, readers are referred to Mr. Bonds "Architectural Handbook of Glastonbury Abbey."
