Excerpt from History of the Holy Rood-Tree: A Twelfth Century
Version of the Cross-Legend The two Latin versions and the one in
Old French prose which will be found in the Appendix, are included
on account of their close relationship to the English Rood-tree
History. I was also fortunate enough to find the Old French poem,
still unpublished, which is the direct source of those portions of
the Cursor Mundi which deal with the history of the Cross-wood and
the Cross from the time of Moses, and I have printed extracts from
it on p. 6 3 ff. A careful comparison of it with the Cursor M'undi
will, no doubt, help to throw light on the text of the latter.
