it is indeed about that Dude, and that dude's manuscript... At Awesome's suggestion i've narrowed in on Cotton Nero A.i, which is a version of Wulfstan's 'handbook', containing a handful of his sermons, assorted law codes he wrote, parts of TWO versions of the 'institutes of polity', his work on the principles of government and social order, plus assorted latin works by other authors- canon law, penitential, some sermons by Abbo of St Germain, and some other stuff i can't remember. This manuscript was in his possession, has his scribbled notes and changes in the text, and was probably pulled apart, re-ordered and supplemented by him or by others under his direction some time after it was first compiled.

it's a transitional manuscript, particularly as concerns the Institutes, and his most famous sermon, the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos. so hopefully i'll be able to say something about the development of his political thought/theological thought over time... i need a new word, though. it's not political AND theological thought; he doesn't go in for much in the way of exclusively theological thought at all... i'm wondering if i can use the term 'socio-theological' or something similar. He's all about creating a whole, holy Christian society... *frowns* yeah. so i want to look at that. but that's not really a QUESTION. hmph.
