Summary/Abstract: This paper is essentially a state-of-the-art overview of the three most current andinfluential publications on the history of English reflexives, selected for their contrasting methodologies, i.e. Elly van Gelderen’s [2000], Edward L. Keenan’s [2002], Ekkehad König and Peter Siemund’s [2000]. A broad view of some well established insights intothe historical development of self allows us to detail some factors that are significant in its distribution patterns. In the analytical section we relate these factors to the occurrences ofself in Manuscript A of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
