The Latin hymns of the Anglo-Saxon church: with an interlinear Anglo-Saxon gloss

Amazingly, Google Books has now made available The Latin hymns of the Anglo-Saxon church: with an interlinear Anglo-Saxon gloss. From 1850 or so, apparently published by the "Council of Surtees Society." This "Anglo-Saxon Hymnarium" is derived from a "Manuscript in the library of the Dean and Chapter, Durham," along with such other hymns from various sources "as may seem expedient."

I just cannot believe some of the things that are now on the web. Actually, this one is really pretty good, I bet; it has a hundred or so hymns, and many are the ones we've been talking and writing about. And of course, if you need that "interlinear Anglo-Saxon gloss" - and I know some of you do - you've got it, baby!

Here's a page from the Anglo-Saxon Hymnarium:
