The interactive edition of The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry will be an invaluable acquisition of historical and literary significance for most libraries and an indispensable reference work for medievalists and other scholars interested in literature, codicology, and Anglo-Saxon society.
The CD-ROM contains the revised edition of The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry, linked to a full-color digital facsimile of the original Anglo-Saxon manuscript "Exeter Cathedral, Dean and Chapter MS 3501." Also included is a new codicological report and images on the manuscript's current binding. The images used in the facsimile are based on high-resolution original scans, each of which is approximately one hundred megabytes; they often provide more information than is available from an examination of the manuscript itself.
