The late thirteenth-century manuscript, Oxford, Bodleian Library
Digby 86, contains a personal anthology of nearly 100 texts in
French, English and Latin, including secular literature, devotional
material, and texts with practical applications, ranging from
medical care for humans and birds to games and party tricks. Many
of the texts are unique to this manuscript. It contains 18 English
texts, including lyrics, the earliest English Fabliau (Dame
Sirith), and the beast-epic, `The Fox and the Wolf'. The
manuscript, which was assembled by a layman associated with
Redmarley d'Abitot (Gloucestershire), provides and important
witness to the context in which these texts were preserved and
read.
