The commentaries on each chapter are lucid and detailed, highighting the varied interest of the texts edited ... Miller's edition bears witness to much knowledge and industry. English Historical Review [this] edition and its accompanying research tools will provide an enormous stimulus to the study of the Anglo-Saxon world and serve as a monumental contribution to the study of the Early Middle Ages. Adam J. Kosto, Columbia University Miller has succeeded admirably in coming to grips with these complex texts, and the result is a contribution not only to our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon charters, but also to our understanding of the fortunes of a community whose fate was so closely linked to the royal politics of the period. Medium Avum The exhaustiveness of Miller's researches is apparent in his thorough investigation of the (often lengthy) bounds attached to many of his charters, also in his search for literary and linguistic parallels for charter texts ... this is a substantial achievement and a significant addition to the growing corpus of Anglo-Saxon diplomas published in critical editions. Journal of the Society of Archivists A distinguished and scholarly text, producing critical editions of 34 charters to the highest standards ... Dr Miller's linguistic skills are manifest throughout.
