Holy Vikings: Saints’ Lives in the Old Icelandic Kings’ Sagas, by Carl Phelpstead (Cardiff University) The biographies of royal saints in the Old Icelandic kings’ sagas are usually described as “secular” or “profane” texts and not “proper” saints’ lives. This book argues that theoretical concepts developed by Mikhail Bakhtin can provide new insights into the role of hagiography in the origins of Icelandic saga-writing by enabling a reading of these texts as both saint’s life and saga. The book shows how different generic conventions are brought into dialogue in Orkneyinga saga, Snorri Sturluson’s Óláfs saga helga and Knýtlinga saga in order to depict rulers as “holy Vikings,” sometimes conforming to saintly ideals, but often far from doing so. For details on ordering this and other ACMRS publications, visit www.asu. edu/clas/acmrs under publications.

COLLECTION OF INCUNABULA TO BE DIGITIZED The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft has granted funding for a complete digitization of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München (BSB) collection of incunabula. This is the largest collection of incunabula world wide, and the collection is described in a printed catalogue (BSB-Ink), freely accessible online at http://www.bsb-muenchen.de/ Inkunabeln.181.0.html. Over the coming years, one copy of each 15th-century edition held in the BSB will be digitzed. Digitization will start with the ca. 1150 incunabula in German and the ca. 680 editions of which the BSB holds the sole surviving copy in a German library. After that, books printed in the German-speaking countries in the 15th century and books printed abroad will be digitized. Illustrations (mainly woodcuts) will be indexed with an iconographic classification system. The digital reproductions will be made accessible through the electronic catalogue BSB-Ink and other databases (e.g., OPAC, union catalogues). Currently, BSB-Ink online already provides access to digital reproductions of nearly 700 incunabula, of which approximately 540 are broadsides. A list of digitized incunabula (by shelfmark only) is accessible via the Index Search http://mdzx.bibbvb.de/bsbink/einzelindex.html. Check the box for “Exemplare mit Scans” and pull down “Alle” from the mit Anfangsbuchstaben menu.

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE RECORDS ONLINE You no longer have to go to The National Archives, Public Record Office, Kew, London to view English legal records. Professor Robert Palmer, University of Houston, has produced and obtained funding for a website, The AngloAmerican Legal Tradition, that contains .jpgs of thousands of records of the Court of Common Pleas, Court of the King’s Bench, the Chancery, and the Exchequer. Moreover the project is ongoing, and thousands more records will be added. The site currently includes records beginning with the reign of Henry III and extending through the reign of Charles I. The address for the website is http://aalt.law. uh.edu/.

CAMBRIDGE STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM 2008 The next ACMRS study abroad program will be in residence July 4–August 11, 2008, at St. Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge. The faculty teaching on the program and the courses being offered this summer are as follows: Paul Hartle (University of Cambridge), Shakespeare in Performance; James Helfers (Grand Canyon University), Pirates, Poets, and a Preacher: Renaissance English Exploration; Robert Sturges (Arizona State University), Medieval Students, Medieval Books; and Rosalynn Voaden (Arizona State University), Survey of English Literature: The Cambridge Connection. The Cambridge program continues to be a vital part of the Center’s offerings. It provides students with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the study of a variety of topics on medieval and Renaissance history and culture, while inhabiting and visiting many of the locales that provide the context for their studies. In addition to the varied courses offered on the program, each faculty member organizes a group excursion pertaining to his or her course. The program also includes opening and closing receptions in the formal dining hall at St. Catharine’s College, and students have ample opportunity to travel and explore on their own. Some of the highlights for the Summer 2008 program include trips to London, Oxford, and the Sutton Ship Burial, as well as a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon to attend a Royal Shakespeare Company performance of Hamlet, with Patrich Stewart. For further details about the program and upcoming meetings, visit the ACMRS website or contact Jennifer Michaud at [email protected] or 480-965-8097.
