Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of St. Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of the Britains, Vol. 2 of 2 During the summer of 1093 England was deluged with such a rainfall as had not been known in human memory; and whilst vast tracts of land were still under water a frost set in, that locked all the rivers of the realm under icy pavements, across which travellers might ride on horseback. Yet, notwithstanding the inclemency of the season, there was a goodly assemblage of bishops at Canterbury on Sunday, the 4th of December, the day appointed for the consecration of the new Archbishop. St. Wulstan, the venerable Bishop of Worcester, who was now nearing the term of his eventful career, and Osbern, Bishop of Exeter, in the far west, were prevented by illness from taking their share in the ceremony; and the see of Lincoln was vacant; but every other diocese of the southern province was represented, so that, besides the Archbishop of York, there were nine wearers of the mitre that morning seated in Lanfranc´s apsidal sanctuary, refulgent with all the splendour of their episcopal pomp - Maurice, Bishop of London; Vauquelin, Bishop of Winchester; Osmond, Bishop of Sarum; Robert, Bishop of Hereford; Robert, Bishop of Lichfield; John, Bishop of Bath; Ralph, Bishop of Chichester; Herbert, Bishop of Thetford, and the sweet and saintly Gundulf. The ceremony opened with what later times called the decretum. Eadmer styles it the electio scripta. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
