on the Old Testament in early Anglo-Saxon England

“In the various letters […] written to or about Boniface from correspondents in England, Old Testament allusions are many but direct citations are unfortunately few. Such as they are, however, they confirm the availability of excellent Vulgate texts in various southern monasteries involved, and the competence of the correspondents to use them accurately and intelligently.”
