Excerpt from Early English Alliterative Poems, in the West-Midland Dialect of the Fourteenth Century: Copied and Edited From an Unique Manuscript in the Library of the British Museum, Cotton, Nero A X.; With an Introduction, Notes, and Glossarial Index A comparison of the Arthurian romance with the following poems throws no light whatever upon the authorship of the poems. The dialect of the two works is altogether different, although many of the terms employed are common to both, being well known over the whole of the North of England. The grammatical forms (the best test we can have) in the poems are quite distinct from those in the Marta Arthare, and of course go far to prove that they do not proceed from the pen of the same writer.

`The Index of Middle English Prose when completed will be a monumental achievement' REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES Two very different collections are surveyed in this volume. The manuscripts of Pembroke College, Cambridge are typical of a medieval foundation. Its core of books is a working library of that period, representing the interests andneeds of its Fellows, very often given or bequeathed by them to the College. The collection was substantially enlarged in 1599 through the gift by William Smart of Ipswich of a large number of manuscripts which until the Reformation had belonged to the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds. By contrast the emphasis of the Fitzwilliam Museum collection is to a great extent art historical. At its heart are the manuscripts bequeathed by Lord Fitzwilliam in 1816. These were supplemented throughout the 19th century by a series of gifts and bequests, culminating in 1904 in the largest bequest to date, from Frank McClean, of some 203 manuscripts. In spite of the different character of the two collections, both contain a range of Middle English prose items, among them Chaucer's Boece, a complete Wycliffite sermon cycle and several Paston letters [all from Pembroke], the Anlaby Cartulary, the "Canutus" pestilence tract, the Brut, Lydgate's Serpent of Division and Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ (from the Fitzwilliam). KARI ANNE RAND is Professor of Older English Literature at the University of Oslo.

This book analyses one of the few textual sources from twelfth-century England written in the vernacular: a manuscript now in Cambridge, University Library, bearing the shelfmark li. 1.33. It contains forty-two Old English texts, mostly saints' lives composed by lfric, abbot of Eynsham (c.950-c.1010). Both palaeo-graphical and linguistic evidence is used to establish the number of scribes and the possible origin of the various manuscript parts. A detailed examination of additions and alterations to the central part as well as a discussion of significant changes to the rest of the manuscript demonstrates language change and interest from the late twelfth century until today. The book includes the first study of three larger marginal passages, one in Middle English and two in Old French. Twelve plates taken from the manuscript and one from a related manuscript provide rich illustrations.
