New Minster Liber Vitae

The New Minster Liber Vitae is a confraternity book produced in Winchester, in southern England, in 1031.

It records the names of visitors to the New Minster, Winchester and contains other information too, as well as a contemporary image of King Cnut the Great and his first wife Ælfgifu of Northampton.

The original manuscript is now kept in the British Library in London, as Stowe MS 944.

[1] It and the Durham Liber Vitae are the only surviving Anglo-Saxon confraternity books.

On folio 29, a later writer has added the names of King Edward the Confessor, Queen Edith and the aetheling Edgar.
