"THE continuity of the Holy Catholic Church in England" is our subject. By the Church in this sense, the Holy Catholic Church, we do not mean a mere creed, a statement of doctrine; we do not mean a mere collection of men and women professing the right doctrine, banded and agreed, living together as a Christian Church, with a common faith and common Sacraments. But we mean a living thing, an actual spiritual existence, a something quite different from a creed, quite different from a collection of men and women, -a living, spiritual thing, founded on the Rock which is Christ, drawing its life from Him, the Foundation-stone, the Rock: for "other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, even Jesus Christ"-the Church's one foundation.
The Codex Amiatinus and its “Sister” Bibles examines the full Bibles (Bibles containing every scriptural text that producers deemed canonical) made at the northern English monastery of Wearmouth–Jarrow under Abbot Ceolfrith (d. 716) and the Venerable Bede (d. 735), and the religious, cultural, and intellectual circumstances of their production. The key manuscript witness of this monastery’s Bible-making enterprise is the Codex Amiatinus, a massive illustrated volume sent toward Rome in June 716, as a gift to St. Peter. Amiatinus is the oldest extant, largely intact Latin full Bible. Its survival is the critical reason that Ceolfrith’s Wearmouth–Jarrow has long been recognized as a pivotal center in the evolution of the design, structure, and contents of medieval biblical codices.

Restaging the Past is the first edited collection devoted to the study of historical pageants in Britain, ranging from their Edwardian origins to the present day. Across Britain in the twentieth century, people succumbed to ‘pageant fever’. Thousands dressed up in historical costumes and performed scenes from the history of the places where they lived, and hundreds of thousands more watched them. These pageants were one of the most significant aspects of popular engagement with the past between the 1900s and the 1970s: they took place in large cities, small towns and tiny villages, and engaged a whole range of different organised groups, including Women’s Institutes, political parties,...
