Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts is the first publication to list every surviving manuscript or manuscript fragment written in Anglo-Saxon England between the seventh and the eleventh centuries or imported into the country during that time.

Helmut Gneuss is emeritus professor of English at the University of Munich.
Lapidge Michael :

Michael Lapidge is emeritus professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Cambridge.

‘Professors Gneuss and Lapidge have provided a remarkable, elegantly organized, and exhaustively informative resource.’

Mark Faulkner:

‘The editors supply details of past scholarly analyses of each manuscript, and in so doing produce a volume that will be invaluable to permanence of print…. This is a true magnum opus.’

Christopher A. Jones, Department of English, The Ohio State University:
“For anyone who studies early medieval manuscripts, the importance of this book and the urgent need for its publication would be hard to overstate. A work of scholarship on this scale, and of this authority and usefulness, might come along once in a generation. Yet for all its immense erudition, the Bibliographical Handlist remains simple and intuitive to use.”

Charles D. Wright, Department of English, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:
“The Gneuss-Lapidge Bibliographical Handlist is a magnificent work that is sure to become one of the most important reference works for the field of Anglo-Saxon studies and early medieval manuscript studies in general.”
