Abstract

The recently found inscribed strip from the Staffordshire Hoard contains a text taken from the Bible. This text is discussed in the light of the other biblical texts, some twenty in number, which occur on Anglo-Saxon inscribed objects. The discussion includes the languages and scripts used in the texts, and also the materials, likely functions and dates of the inscribed objects.
