Pearl, Cleanness, Patience and Sir Gawain facsimile of British Museum MS. Cotton Nero A.x, with introduction by I Gollancz (Early English Text Society Original Series) by I. Gollancz
Some of my favourite medieval poems, however as the facsimile is in black and white the pictures and some of the writing is a little unclear.
This is a set of Anglo-Saxon poems from manuscripts that have been in the Cathedral of Exeter, England for 1100 years. The old English version is on the even pages, the modern translation is on the facing pages.
