| Summary: | The Benedictional of St Aethelwold, a book of ceremonial blessings made for St Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester from 963-984, is one of the most lavishly decorated manuscripts to have survived from Anglo-Saxon England. St Aethelwold was one of the leaders of the movement of ecclesiastical and cultural renewal in 10th-century England, which led to the foundation of new monasteries, the building of great cathedrals and the production of magnificent works of art, initiating the Golden Age of Anglo-Saxon art. The benedictional is the most important surviving artistic product of these movements. |
