C. S. 753 (p. 374): “Dum omnis. creatura…formata formoseque creata atque speciose<br />

plasmata…”<br />

C. S. 767 117 : “…ut Deum quem diligimus et credimus…”<br />

C. S. 780: “Dum…cernerem sepeque cogitarem…cuncta vel superflua redarguuntur<br />

ac dissipantur…”<br />

C. S. 781: “…supernus rector…gubernat atque custodit”<br />

C. S. 821: “…que sollicitudo…conqueritur ac defletur.”<br />

The royal style is worded differently in the originals each time, in one case Ae. C<br />

shortens that of Ae. B. (C. S. 753). In the initial period he prefers this version:<br />

“Quapropter ego…divina mihi adridente gratia rex Anglorum” (et curagulus 118<br />

totius Bryttanniae in C. S. 741).<br />

Thus in C. S. 741; 756; 767.<br />

In the last charters he writes:<br />

“…ego...rex Anglorum ceterarumque gentium in circuitu persistentium<br />

(gubernator et rector)”<br />

In C. S. 780; 821.<br />

The Dispositive section can be described as the best characterising section of any<br />

scribe’s charter. (C. S. 780 stands aside due to the legal quality of the handed down<br />

land. 119 )<br />

The characterising sections are:<br />

“Perpetuali donatione libenter concedo…”<br />

in C. S. 741; 756; 767; the traditional words of the other charters are related to this,<br />

e.g. C. S. 821: “libenter largiendo donavi” and C. S. 753 “largiendo condonavi”<br />

“in illo loco cui ruricolae”<br />

in C. S. 741; 756; 767. Here he has changed since C. S. 780 to<br />

“…ubi iamdudum solicolae illius regionis nomen imposuerunt…”<br />

“Quatinus ille bene perfruatur ac perpetualiter possideat…”<br />

This particularly characteristic Quatinus form has a distinctive sentence, composed of<br />

two originally separate parts, which remain together in the summary.<br />

C. S. 741 0 : “…et post se cuicumque voluerit ceu corroboravimus…derelinquat.”<br />

117 With this Proem only the appearance of the doubling would point to Ae.C, the remaining structure<br />

to Ae. B. However, as this “diligimus et credimus” is taken from biblical language, it is not of<br />

particular significance as a characteristic of Ae. C. We therefore believe that Ae. B can actually be<br />

considered the producer of the Proem, which Ae. C then took on. Such independence, even if minimal,<br />

demands that both scribes work side by side. This could only take place in a “scriptorium” of course, in<br />

which these two scribes were working together for different recipients.<br />

118 With this “curagulus” there seems to be some influence from C. S. 714<br />

119 See Note 1, p. 372 and Part 4.<br />
