(p. 394) “Ego Oscytel episcopus corroboravi.”
“Ego Osulf episcopus non rennui.”
“Ego Athulf episcopus conclusi.”
(One particular characteristic of the charters of this period is the “non rennui”, which
is virtually never omitted.)
Scribe Eadgar A (p. 394)

We do not establish another scribe until 960 Eadgar’s time (959-975). We possess
five originals of his, and one copy shows quite clearly that it was copied from an
original of his hand. We are thus able to characterise him well.
With Eadgar A we recognise again that he is trying out a format as produced earlier
by Ae. A. However, unlike Eadred B, he does not piece together sections from
different diplomatic formulae, but endeavours to find his own formula.
In his first, completely independent charter of a restitution, C. S. 1055, he uses
Eadmund C to a great extent as his model. Then he finds in his second original
virtually the final text to enable him to make a further attempt in a third. Eventually,
from C. S. 1083 onwards, he remains with his diplomatic precisely formulated for the
Context. Only with the Proem does he occasionally use other versions.
We will begin by considering his first original.
As a model for his Proem it is obvious that he used the Type I Proem of Eadmund C.
He modified this somewhat, correcting the mistakes and substituting some words with
others, appearing to indicate a changed attitude of mind of the writer.
“Quamvis enim regalium dignitatum decreta et saluberrima regnorum consilia
manente immunitatis singrafa iugiter fixa firmaque perseverant. adtamen quia non
umquam tempestates et mundi turbines fragilem vite cursum humane pulsantes contra
divina supernae affirmationis ac legitima iura illidunt. Idcirco ordine litterarum ac
cartarum scedulis sunt roboranda, ne fortuitu casu successorum progenies posterorum
ignorato precedentium patrum cirographo inextricabilem hoendorum barathrorum
voraginem incurrat.”
This emphasis of the profane will certainly have been intended, as it is actually
expressed three times, in one instance changing the sentence of the model.
C. S. 791: “Quamvis decreta pontificum et verba sacerdotum…religio sanctae Dei
aecclesiae dissipabitur…”
The picture “barathrorum voraginem incurrat” is reminiscent of Ae. A
