Of the four major surviving manuscripts of Anglo-Saxon poetry, MS.
Junius 11 is the only one which is illustrated. This tenth-century
manuscript contains four poems based on the Old and New Testaments:
Genesis A and B, Exodus, Daniel, and Christ and Satan. It was given
by Francis Junius in 1677 to the Bodleian Library, University of
Oxford. For the first time, the entire manuscript is available here
in an innovative, highly accessible format. The CD contains images
of each opening and each page of the manuscript, visible at high
magnification, and a 'live' transcription and translation of the
poems with hyperlinks, allowing powerful global searches across the
entire text. A full translation of the entire text is also linked
to the transcription and the relevant manuscript page. The CD also
includes high resolution images of all the drawings and initials in
the manuscript, and exterior photographs of its medieval binding.
The powerful and realistic magnifier makes it possible to zoom in
on the manuscript pages with varying degrees of magnification. The
meaning and importance of the drawings are discussed in a detailed
introduction and commentary, supplemented by a full bibliography.
This exciting, ground-breaking CD will appeal to all scholars and
students of Anglo-Saxon literature, art, history, and culture, as
well as to bibliophiles and collectors.
