Anglo saxon calendar

[mr dazzler]

Can anyone help please?
I remember some time ago finding some pictures from an original anglo saxon calendar, with marvellous pen drawings of farming activies, they had carts, billhook's, plough's, harvesting with sicles, animal's etc etc. I cannot find any tarce of it again, does any one know about it? It was that early manuscript style a bit like the bayaeux tapistery.

Hi Jonathan,

Something else that's worth having a look into is 'The Year 1000' (R. Lacey & D. Danziger); an easily accessible book which draws on the information (including a few* illustrations in black and white) contained in the Julian Works Calendar (housed in the British Library).
