This volume provides new editions and translations of the two earliest texts for the rite of royal anointing in Anglo-Saxon England. The First Ordo, believed to go back to the ninth century, perhaps even a little before, is the earliest surviving coronation liturgy from anywhere in the West. The compilation of the Second English Ordo has been assigned to the late ninth or early tenth century. David Pratt's edition and translation presents this extremely important material in a scholarly but fully accessible way for the first time. New editions are desirable, not only for the intrinsic value of scrutinizing the text and transmission history of both ordines, but for the light which can be cast on the early history of the rite of royal anointing in England. That history is a subject which unfortunately cannot be studied with reference to any single, authoritative manuscript, but must rather be explored comparatively, by looking across the manuscript record of later Anglo-Saxon and Frankish pontificals, and by identifying patterns of development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePUBLICATION   SECRETARY'S PREFACE      PREFACE      LIST OF TABLES      LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS      NOTE ON CITATIONS      INTRODUCTION         The First Ordo         The A-version of the Second   Ordo         Reconstructing the A-version in   its earliest form         The principal sources of the   A-version         The dating of the A-version         The later history of the rite: a   summary      THE MANUSCRIPT SOURCES OF THE FIRST ORDO         L.
