John Lydgate wrote the 'Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund' at the
request of his abbot, William Curteys, to commemorate the stay of
the young King Henry VI at the Benedictine abbey of Bury St Edmunds
from Christmas Eve 1433 to shortly after Easter 1434 when Henry was
received into confraternity. The work survives in thirteen
manuscripts or fragments, and BL MS Harley 2278, on which the
present edition of the 'Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund' is based,
was the copy of the poem presented to Henry VI, probably before
1444. The 'Lives' consists of a prologue, the Life of St Edmund as
books one and two, the Life of St Fremund as book three, a
conc1uding prayer to St Edmund, an envoy, and an address to Henry
VI. The volume also presents the three texts that make up the
'Extra Miracles of St Edmund' which are found in four of the later
manuscripts of the 'Lives' and independently in one manuscript.
This edition of the 'Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund' is the first
to establish the text on the basis of the readings of all the
manuscripts, and is also the first to include the 'Extra Miracles'.
The edited texts are followed by a commentary, textual notes, a
glossary of proper names, and a selective glossary.
