The earliest English reference I've heard of for prayer beads is 11th c., part of the burial goods of St. Godiva. Described as jewels on a string, if memory serves.

Does anyone have any solid references to paternosters in the 10th C?  & what they would look like?
I have an idea ... beads in groups of 10, 50, or 150 strung on a cord.  The Rosary as we know it today coming later in the Middle Ages...
More info welcome.  Aelfgifu
