Fasti Monastici Aevi Saxonici: Or, An Alphabetical List of the Heads of Religious Houses in England:
From the Preface. Those who are in the habit of turning over the leaves of Kemble's 'Codex Diplomaticus' Dugdale's 'Monasticon Anglicanum' and similar works, during their researches into the early monastic history and literature of England, cannot fail to lament the want of indexes for names of persons, which have been omitted in every work. It occurred to me therefore in the first instance to compile for my own use a comprehensive list of the Heads of Religious Houses in England and Wales during the Saxon period, intending at some future opportunity to prepare similar lists of the other dignitaries who occupy a place in these books. I found this when completed so useful, that in the hope of others who are engaged in kindred pursuits deriving some benefit from it, I here present it with a preliminary chronological list of nearly three hundred Religious Houses established in England and "Wales previous to the Norman Conquest, at the same time interpolating among the names additional references to other sources, printed and manuscript, which contain notices of such individuals as come within the scope of my task, and have great pleasure in laying the result before the Council of the Royal Society of Literature.
