Mary's Church. The monks now used this church for their services, though the church of the Holy Saviour and the Apostles Peter and Paul was still regarded as caput loci, or chief church. A silver shrine to contain the good abbot's bones was presented to the abbey by King Ethelwulf; on the outside of this might be seen in low relief representations of the miracles that he is recorded to have worked. 38 MALMESBURY ABBEY CHURCH. Alfred, the great West Saxon king, though he gave no grant of money o...r land to the abbey, attempted to raise its position as a seat of learning, but in this attempt he signally failed. He sent to Malmesbury a learned Scot, John by name, who was the author of a treatise on the " Division of Nature." But this John met with little favour as a teacher ; and the pupils of the monastery school stabbed him with the steel instruments that they used for writing, so that he died. We are not told what was the special reason for his unpopularity; it may be that he at- tempted to make idle pupils work against their will, it may be that his coming was resented as the intrusion of a stranger.
