The Cædmon Manuscript is one of three extant anthologies of English Christian poetry produced in England before 1000 CE. It is a collection of four religious poems in Old English based on Biblical materials. They have the editorial names Genesis, Exodus, Daniel and Christ and Satan. This edition consists of an Introduction, Bibliography, Codicological and Paleographical Analysis, an Art-Historical Commentary and an edition of the four poems.
An excellent companion to the Bodleian Library’s digitized Junius 11, The Cædmon Manuscript provides a foundational review of scholarship on the codex and an edition of its poetry that, with attention to scribal practices and precise notes, is invaluable for understanding the text as it is presented on the page— Janet Ericksen, Professor, University of Minnesota Morris
