An illustrated translation of the "Life of Fursey", under the original Latin title of Transitus Beati Fursei will be launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury at a special Reception in Norwich on 10 November 2007. This will be the first English translation of the earliest (eighth century) surviving manuscript of the seventh century "Life of Fursey" - Harley MS 5041 in the British Library, and has been made by Professor Oliver Rackham of Cambridge University. The Latin text is included, as also Bede's use of the "Life" in his own History of the English Church and people.
