The various Latin and Old English texts which have come to be called ‘prognostics’have not, in general, been well served by scholars. For some texts the onlyavailable edition is Oswald Cockayne's Leechdoms, Wortcunning, and Starcraft ofEarly England from 1864-6; most others are available only in the broad but somewhatunsystematic series of articles published by Max Förster in Archiv für dasStudium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen in the 1910s and 1920s. AnselmHughes does not include the eight prognostic texts in Cambridge, Corpus ChristiCollege 391 in his otherwise fairly thorough edition of much of that manuscript; Peter Baker and Michael Lapidge omit any discussion of such texts fromtheir excellent survey of the history of the computus in the preface to theiredition of Byrhtferth's Enchiridion. The mid-eleventh-century Christ Churchmanuscript now known as London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius A. iii hasattracted the notice of many fine scholars, including liturgists, linguists andmonastic and art historians, who have been drawn to the series of texts at thebeginning of the manuscript (fols. 117-73 and 2-27), including two magnicentfull-page drawings (117v and 2v) and glossed copies of the Benedictine Rule andthe Regularis Concordia. Helmut Gneuss describes this carefully presented series of interrelated texts as ‘a compendium of the Benedictine Reform movementsin Carolingian Francia and in tenth-century England’; Robert Deshman hasargued that the very sequence of texts is ‘laden with meaning’. Despite theirappreciation of these manuscript sequences, however, few scholars haveincluded in their study of this material the eighteen prognostic texts whichfollow the Regularis Concordia in the manuscript (27v-47), though most of theseare in the same hand and are arranged, it may be argued, with equal care.
