abstract: Since scholars first turned their attention to the subject some eighty years ago, one major area of contention in the study of Anglo-Saxon wills has been the function of the written will within Anglo-Saxon culture. Verbal agreements, formalized through oral ceremonies and symbolic actions, were recognized as legally binding; however, many of these agreements were also recorded in writing. Many scholars argue that the written document was superfluous;oral ceremonies were written down only in the case of memory failure and the documents themselves had no real performative function. Others see the existence of the written will to be evidence of a shift toward a more textually-dependent culture, reliant on the written as a way of managing society. It is unlikely, however, that the Anglo-Saxons themselves viewed the oral and written in such a binary manner. Rather, the two forms were intermingled, lending potency and performative power to one another. The present study concentrates on two Anglo-Saxon wills in order to demonstrate the ways in which the verbal and written work together in specific texts. By having such a singular focus, a more nuanced understanding of how the oral and written interanimate each other in ninth-century England can be attained. The vernacular will of Alfred, King of the West Saxons from 871-899, and the Latin will of Æðelric, son of Æðelmund (804), are particularly deserving of close attention. While they contain several features that indicate the authority of the voiced statement, they also demonstrate an exceptionally strong sense of the importance of the written. These two wills suggest a dynamic period in which the worlds of the oral ceremony and written word were still intermingled but clearly moving toward a valuing of the written as dispositive. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. English 2010

Thirty-six does 18 from Saanen breed and 18 from Anglo-Nubian breed. The measured morphological traits were: udder depth (UD), udder width (UW), distance from the teat to the ground (DCG), distance between teat (DBT), length (LT) and diameter of the teat (DT). The ultra-sonographic traits analyzed were: teat canal length (TCL), teat diameter (TD), wall thickness of the teat (WTC), cistern area of the teat (CAT) and cistern area of the gland (CAG). Daily milk yield (MY) was estimated as the average of the last test-day milk yield. In both breeds, there was no significant associations between morphometric/ultra-sonographic traits and the milk yield. Only CAG was correlated with MY (r = 0.57; P <0.05), in the Anglo-Nubian breed, and UW (r = 0.48; P <0.05) in Saanen breed. In the Anglo-Nubian breed, longer and larger diam-eter teat tend to increase the proximity of the udder to the ground, while this is more evident in deeper udders in Saanen breed. In both breeds, longer teat also feature larger diameter. The canonical correlation analysis showed that the sets of morphometric and ultra-sonographic traits present high association (r = 0.9455). The first canonical pair explained 93.21% of the total variation contained in the data set. DC, LC and DCG traits were the most associated with the set of ultra-sonographic canonical variables, while DC and CAT were most associated with the set of morphological canonical varia-bles. The morphological traits to be measured to aid the production of goat milk depend on the breed into consideration, which may be a function of up selective history of this breed. The measurements carried out on the teat have higher correspondence with those performed with ultrasound than those measured in the udder. Length and diameter of the teat and its ground clearance are the most should be considered as an aid to selection for milk production in goats. / O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar as associações entre medidas morfométricas e ultrassonográficas e a produção de leite em caprinos, para identificar animais com me-lhor eficiência de produção. Foram utilizadas trinta e seis cabras, sendo 18 da raça Saa-nen e 18 da raça Anglo-nubiana. As características morfológicas mensuradas foram pro-fundidade do úbere (PU), largura do úbere (LAR), distância do teto ao solo (DTS), dis-tância entre tetos (DET), comprimento (CT) e diâmetro do teto (DT). As características avaliadas por ultrassonografia foram comprimento do canal do teto (CCT), diâmetro do teto (DTU), espessura da parede do teto (ESPT), área da cisterna do teto (ARCT) e área da cisterna da glândula (ARCG). A produção de leite diária (PL) foi representada pela média dos últimos três controles leiteiros. Houve poucas associações significativas entre as características morfológicas/ultrassonográficas com a produção de leite nas duas ra-ças. Somente ARCG foi correlacionada com PL (r = 0,57; P<0,05), na raça Anglo-nubiana, e LAR (r = 0,48; P<0,05) na raça Saanen. Na raça Anglo-nubiana, tetos mais compridos e com maior diâmetro tendem a aumentar a proximidade do úbere ao solo, enquanto isso é mais evidente em úberes mais profundos, na raça Saanen. Em ambas as raças, tetos mais compridos também apresentam maior diâmetro. A análise de correlação canônica demonstrou que os conjuntos de características morfométricas e ultrasso-nográficas apresentam alta associação (r = 0,9455). O primeiro par canônico explicou 93,21% da variação total contida no conjunto de dados. As características DT, CT e DTS foram as mais associadas com o conjunto de variáveis canônicas ultrassonográficas, enquanto DT e ARCT foram as mais associadas com o conjunto de variáveis canônicas morfológicas. As características morfológicas a serem mensuradas para auxiliar a PL de cabras dependem da raça em consideração, o que pode estar em função do histórico seletivo desta raça. As mensurações realizadas nos tetos apresentam maiores cor-respondências com as realizadas com o ultrassom do que aqueles mensuradas no úbere. Comprimento e diâmetro dos tetos e sua distância ao solo são as que mais devem ser consideradas como auxiliares à seleção para produção de leite em caprinos.
