of St Vedasfs monastery at Rome, in the Acta Sanctorum for May, vol. iv. p. 346. This gives the fullest account of the earliest incidents of his life that exists, but scarcely mentions his transactions as archbishop. It omits all notice of the synod at Calne, and therefore of what happened there. If this omis- sion had not extended to Dunstan's other transactions as archbishop, it might have 238 niSTOBY OF THE nited a doubt if there had been any such a meeting at all. But as the author has also... not chosen to mention other important actions of Dunstan*s later life, the silence on this peculiar event is no argument sigainst it On the contrary, it may be alleged that the transaction was omitted because its consequences had excited ao much enmity or suspicion against Dunstan that one living at that period did not choose, either for his friend's sake or his own, to revive its recollection. There la also another MS. life of Dunstan addressed by Adelard to Elphegus the archbishop, who was killed in the reign of Ethelred, and this also omits the meeting at Calne, as It does most other details of Dunstan*s archiepiscopai conduct The above remarks apply also to this author's silence.
