The Red Cross and the Lessons of the Russian Civil War, 1918–26
In 1921 the international Red Cross movement passed a series of resolutions declaring they had a right and duty to intervene in civil wars, ‘social and revolutionary troubles’. This article focuses on the specific historical origins of the resolutions. It argues that these resolutions were a direct response to the Russian Civil War and designed to enable humanitarian interventions against Soviet Russia and other communist revolutionaries. The ICR…

The Chronology and Canon of Ælfric of Eynsham
Ælfric has been well served in scholarship, enjoying an unrivaled run in terms of interest dating from the beginnings of early English scholarship in the sixteenth century, and, before that, sustained attention from copyists into the twelfth century and from readers into the later medieval period. Consequently, the Ælfric bibliography is a long one. Of course, Ælfric himself gave his audience a great deal to get their teeth into: two series of Ca…
Navigating the profits and pitfalls of governmental partnerships
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is today a staunch proponent of the need for humanitarian organisations to remain independent of state interests, yet it deliberately solicited intergovernmental intervention in international relief after the First World War of 1914–18. This paper examines why an organisation committed to upholding the independence and impartiality of humanitarian action might still choose to partner with govern…
Humanitarianism and National Sovereignty
From 1921 to 1923 the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) sought to protect the individual rights of political prisoners in Soviet Russia. This action represented the culmination of the Red Cross’ attempt after the First World War to transform the humanitarian rights assured to soldiers by the Geneva and Hague conventions into universal rights for all people. The Red Cross, employing concepts that demonstrate a connection between huma…
From Quill to T‐PEN
This article outlines some recent applications of digital technology to the fields of medieval palaeography and editing, and how they might enable scholars more readily to check and engage with the work of others. It emphasises the importance of interoperability of digital repositories and describes a current initiative which helps to trial and refine generic tools for digital scholarship. It asserts the limitations of a print‐based edition for s…

Latin Versions of Old English Wills
The basis for the study of testamentary procedure in Anglo-Saxon England is the detailed analysis of the surviving vernacular wills from the pre-Conquest period.1 Many other wills, however, are recorded only as Latin notes in medieval cartularies, although a few exist in fuller versions, sometimes alongside their vernacular counterparts. These texts provide an insight into the methods and priorities of scribes who had to translate and summarise v…
