This volume presents ten Old English texts, beginning with three treatises by lfric 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 ver-borum listing each wordform and its location in the corpus. Twenty-five illustrations from five different manu-scripts are pres-ented, some showing the manuscript text, and eleven with beautiful vignettes from Genesis and Exodus.
