La Estorie del Evangelie

A parallel-text edition by Celia Millward. Text mittelenglisch, Kommentar englisch. "La Estorie del Euangelie", a metrical life of Christ based on the gospels, was probably composed in Norfolk in the late thirteenth century. The poem is apparently an original English work. The text survives in seven manuscripts, though all versions are incomplete in one way or another. This edition presents all the known texts of the poem, printed in parallel to facilitate easy comparison and to allow the poem to be read as a continuous unit. 286 Seiten mit vier Abb. und 8 Tab., broschiert (Middle English Texts; Vol. 30/Universitätsverlag Winter 1998) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
