The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry
| |||||
|
A digital edition of Exeter Dean & Chapter MS 3501, commonly known as "The Exeter Book", but edited here as The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry. The text of the DVD is that of Professor Muir's 2nd edition of the manuscript, published by University of Exeter Press in 2000. The 'Screen Shots' link provides a good overall impression of the content and structure of the DVD. It contains an animated background documentary on the history of the manuscript, a selection of readings in both Old and Modern English, recordings of some of the Latin antiphons which inspired the poet of the 'Advent Lyrics', an illustrated report by Nicholas Pickwoad on the present state of the binding, and the full text of the 2000 edition (which is hyperlinked to extremely high resolution images of the complete manuscript). The 'Screen Shots' show the magnifying and 'Hotspot' features. There is also a very robust 'Search' feature.
