Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

This volume presents ten Old English texts, beginning with three treatises by Ælfric of Eynsham (c.950–c.1010): his letters to Sigeweard and to Wulfgeat, and his Preface to Genesis. Following these, the five books of Moses are given (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) along with the first two of the historical books, Joshua and Judges. Together with these is presented a complete index verborum listing each wordform and its location in the corpus. Twenty-five illustrations from five different manuscripts are presented, some showing the manuscript text, and eleven with beautiful vignettes from Genesis and Exodus.
