This article examines a previously neglected fragment of an early medieval commentary on Matthew’s Gospel, the bifolium Hereford Cathedral Library, P. II. 10.

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 244-273, May 2025.
In c.738, St Boniface distributed a circular letter to a broad audience of ecclesiastics in England. One response to that letter survives, written by Torhthelm, bishop of the Middle Angles (737–64).

Desire: A Theological Reappraisal

open access: yesThe Heythrop Journal, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 3-23, January 2025.

Given such unusual detail, this article seeks to interpret the possible doctrinal meanings that this bed could provide.
