- Title
EDWARD THE CONFESSOR'S SHRINE IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY: ITS DATE OF CONSTRUCTION RECONSIDERED.
- Authors
Payne, Matthew; Rodwell, Warwick
- Abstract
This paper re-evaluates the evidence for the dating of Edward the Confessor's shrine at Westminster Abbey, which has been the subject of debate for many years. The paper presents a new argument that the manuscript evidence for a later date is based on an identifiable scribal error, locates the source of this error and postulates an alternative original reading of the inscription on the shrine pedestal.
