First published in 1907, the publication of these Middle-English
texts aimed to make the dramatic Harrowing of Hell and Gospel of
Nicodemus easily accessible to students of English literature.
Edited together using all known manuscripts, the volume includes
the texts of the Harrowing of Hell and the Gospel of Nicodemus
along with an extensive scholarly introduction on both texts. The
Digby, Harley and Auchinleck manuscripts of the Harrowing are
printed in three parallel columns to allow for fuller, comparative
understanding, at once succinct and comprehensive. The Gospel is
reproduced similarly with its Galba, Harley and Sion manuscripts
along with an additional manuscript. Explanatory notes and glosses
have been omitted owing to inclusion in a separate publication.

1907. An attempt is made in the present volume to make easily
accessible to students of English literature all the known Middle
English versions of the Harrowing of Hell and the poetical Gospel
of Nicodemus, and to give exact reproductions of the several
manuscripts in parallel columns, so far as that is possible in
print. Also to give in the introduction a succinct but
comprehensive bibliographical account of the manuscripts in which
the poems have been preserved and of all those manuscripts, so far
as they are known, which contain prose versions of the Middle
English gospel of Nicodemus and finally to furnish a glossary of
obsolete and unfamiliar words.
1907. Hulme has attempted to make all the known Middle-English
versions of the Harrowing of Hell and the poetical Gospel of
Nicodemus accessible to students. The Harrowing of Hell is the Old
English and Middle English term for the triumphant descent of
Christ into hell (or Hades) between the time of His Crucifixion and
His Resurrection, when, according to Christian belief, He brought
salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of
the world. The title Gospel of Nicodemus is of medieval origin. The
apocryphon gained wide credit in the Middle Ages, and has
considerably affected the legends of our Savior's Passion.
