This paper introduces Saxon, a rule based document annotator that is capable of processing and annotating several document formats and media, both within and across documents. Furthermore, Saxon is readily extensible to support other input formats due to both it’s flexible rule formalism and the modular plugin architecture of the Runes framework upon which it is built. In this paper we introduc...

The role of migration in the Anglo-Saxon transition in England remains controversial. Archaeological and historical evidence is inconclusive, but current estimates of the contribution of migrants to the English population range from less than 10000 to as many as 200000. In contrast, recent studies based on Y-chromosome variation posit a considerably higher contribution to the modern English gen...

An object inscribed with Anglo-Saxon runes recently found in East Anglia is tentatively identified as an artefact associated with the use of manuscripts: a page-holder or page-turner. The well-formed and elegant inscription allows us to identify a hitherto unrecognized runic graph in the Anglo-Saxon tradition as well as a previously unrecorded inflected form of the Old English verb cunnan. The ...

This paper aims to contribute to contemporary research on Spanish images of Englishness and thus on cross-cultural otherness. More precisely, it seeks to identify and describe the composite image of Anglo-Saxon Others as portrayed in ten nineteenth century Spanish history books and to critically discuss the results. Despite Anglo-Saxon England being a marginal issue for nineteenth century Spani...

British population history has been shaped by a series of immigrations, including the early Anglo-Saxon migrations after 400 CE. It remains an open question how these events affected the genetic composition of the current British population. Here, we present whole-genome sequences from 10 individuals excavated close to Cambridge in the East of England, ranging from the late Iron Age to the midd...

This thesis attempts to create a more comprehensive catalogue of the appearance of the word aglæca throughout the Old English corpus. While the majority of these instances of the word appear in Beowulf, it also appears in such texts as Christ and Satan, Juliana, The Whale, Andreas, Daniel, Elene, and several of the Riddles from The Exeter Book. While Klaeber’s widely accepted binary glossing of...

In this study the radial part of the Schrödinger equation in presence of the angular momentum (l 6= 0) has been solved for the generalized Woods-Saxon potential by using the modification method. This approach is based on the definition of a modified Woods-Saxon potential which is selected that the associated Schrödinger differential equation become comparable with the associated Jacobi differen...

T historians and laypeople alike often look upon medicine from the Anglo-Saxon period (550-1066 A.D.) with horror and derision. One seems to conjure up images of dirty rags used to clean wounds, or ground-up dung ingested to cure a headache. When one examines the actual medical remedies of the time, however, useful cures can be found. The remedies in Anglo-Saxon medical texts are extremely inte...
