Antiquaries

This page is to be developed as a biographical register of antiquaries (16th–19th centuries) known to have taken an interest in the evidence of Anglo-Saxon charters, including William Camden, Sir Henry Spelman, John Selden, and many others.

There are entries on many of the antiquaries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. For further details, see ‘Anglo-Saxon and related entries in the ODNB (2004)’, Anglo-Saxon England 37 (2008), 183–232, at 226–9.

A comprehensive bibliography covering the activities of scholars interested in Anglo-Saxon studies is available here (on the website of Professor Carl T. Berkhout, Department of English, University of Arizona).
