Abstract: St. Cuthbert was a seventh‐century bishop of Lindisfarne who spent time living as a hermit on the island of Farne. The cult of Cuthbert was very prominent in the Anglo‐Saxon church and he was a popular subject for hagiography. Several lives of Cuthbert were written between the seventh and tenth centuries, in both Latin and Old English, including works by Bede and Ælfric of Eynsham. Texts concerned with Cuthbert continued to be produced throughout the medieval period, including verse lives, histories of his community, and accounts of post‐mortem miracles.

Abstract: Ohthere and Wulfstan is an Old English prose text preserved in the geographical section of the Old English Orosius . Ohthere and Wulfstan consists of travel narratives recording journeys undertaken in northern Europe by two seafarers, Ohthere and Wulfstan, as related to Alfred the Great, the Anglo‐Saxon king of Wessex. Ohthere gives an account of voyages from his home in Hålogaland in northern Norway to the White Sea, and from Hålogaland to the port of Hedeby in southern Jutland. Wulfstan describes sailing from Hedeby to the Baltic. The accounts record the routes taken and the customs of the peoples encountered.

Abstract: The Anglo-Saxon mappa mundi , sometimes known as the Cotton map or Cottoniana, is found on folio 56v of London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius B. v, which dates from the first half of the eleventh century. This unique survivor from the period presents a detailed image of the inhabited world, centred on the Mediterranean. The map’s distinctive cartography, with its emphasis on islands, seas and urban spaces, reflects an Insular, West Saxon geographic imagination. As Evelyn Edson has observed, the mappa mundi appears to be copy of an earlier, larger map. This article argues that the mappa mundi ’s focus on urban space, translatio imperii and Scandinavia is reminiscent of the Old English Orosius , and that it originates from a similar milieu. The mappa mundi ’s northern perspective, together with its obvious dependence on and emulation of Carolingian cartography, suggest that its lost exemplar originated in the assertive England of the earlier tenth century.
