Description
The manuscript edited here as The Cdmon Manuscript is one of three extant anthologies of English Christian poetry produced in England before 1000 CE. It is formally known as Oxford, Bodleian Library Junius 11.
The Cdmon Manuscript was given this name in earlier critical literature because of its assumed association with the cowherd Cdmon, who miraculously received the gift of extemporaneous poetic creativity as described in Bede's Ecclesiastical History IV.24. Bede describes the subjects of the poems created by Cdmon, which corresponded closely to the content of this manuscript, leading earlier scholars to regard this anthology as a remarkable discovery of the earliest surviving religious literature from Anglo-Saxon England.
It is a collection of four religious poem in Old English based on Biblical materials. They have the editorial names Genesis, Exodus, Daniel and Christ and Satan. The edition is comprised of an Introduction, Bibliography, Codicological and Paleographical Analysis, an Art-Historical Commentary, and an edition of the four poems.
