An edition of the early Middle English verse sequence contained in
the thirteenth-century Oxford Jesus College MS 29 (II) with
accompanying translations in Modern English and scholarly
introduction and apparatus. The sequence is varied in subject, with
poems of religious exhortation set beside others of secular
pragmatism. Included are: The Owl and the Nightingale, Poema
Morale, The Proverbs of Alfred, Thomas of Hales's Love Rune, The
Eleven Pains of Hell, the prose Shires and Hundreds of England, the
lengthy Passion of Jesus Christ in English, and twenty-one
additional lyrics, most of them uniquely preserved in this
manuscript. Made in the West Midlands, the Jesus 29 manuscript is
the lengthiest all-English verse collection known to exist in the
period between the Exeter Book and the Harley Lyrics.
