VG orig. blue cloth in purple dj. Small stain at upper corner. 188 p.; front. (Oxford C.C.C. ms. no. 112: Alea Evangelii, playing-board of the Gospel); 22 cm. `As we review our studies of the Tenth Century, we feel that for England at any rate this was a century of movement, of advance. We could wish to know more of these great men: but our records are very scant. They were men of acts, not of words; and they left little or nothing in writing. But we know enough to be proud of them as the first makers of our national unity.' (p. 8-9). Reprint of 1923 edition. 188 pages; front.: page from Corpus Christi College ms. 122, layout of the Alea Evangelii (game of the gospels), a board game or puzzle with 18 squares on each side and 72 pieces (Matthew 20, Mark 15, Luke 17, John 15; 4 variegated men and 1 `primary' man signifying the one purpose of the gospels or the Unity of the Trinity) placed according to the ten canons of Eusebius to mark correspondences among the gospels. `The pieces are set: but the players are gone, and how the game was played must remain a mystery to those who do not know all about the "dukes and counts, defenders and attackers, city and citadel, and nine steps twice over." Some ancient form of chess or draughts may one day give the key to the problem.' (p. 71). Binding is Hardcover.
