THE CHRONICLE OF JOCELIN OF BRAKELOND: A PICTURE OF MONASTIC LIFE IN THE DAYS OF ABBOT SAMSON. NEWLY EDITED BY SIR ERNEST CLARKE M.A. F.S.A.
ALEXANDER MORING THE DE LA MORE PRESS 298 REGENT STREET LONDON W 1903
A veritable monk of Bury St. Edmund's: worth listening to, if by chance made visible and audible. Here he is; and in his hand a magical speculum, much gone to rust, indeed, yet in fragments still clear; wherein the marvellous image of his existence does still shadow itself, though fitfully, and as with an intermittent light.
