+[Transcriber's Note:
+
+This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the "real"
+(unicode/utf-8) version of the file. Characters that could not be fully
+displayed have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets:
+
+  [Gh], [gh] (yogh)
+  [&] (Tironian ampersand)
+  [ž/] (thorn with stroke)
+  [e,] (e with tail, "e caudata")
+  [.y] (y with over-dot)
+  [“ę] (accented ę)
+  [-a], [-e]... (vowel with macron or "long" mark)
+  [)a], [)e]... (vowel with breve or "short" mark)
+  [a.], [b.]... (expunctuated letter, "under-dot")
+
+All but the first three are rare, or occur only in notes. Any other
+bracketed characters are in the original text.
+
+The form {} represents a half-width space, generally between prefix and
+main word. These are not always unambigous; readers should consult page
+images or a printed text. The {;} is a punctuation mark similar to a
+semicolon.
+
+A few selections use additional, very unusual letters that will be
+explained as they appear.
+
+In the last three selections, doubled ¶¶ represents the large C-like
+paragraph symbol. In Orm and earlier selections, ¶ is as printed.
+
+Italicized letters or parts of words, indicating expanded abbreviations,
+are shown in {braces}. Spaced-out text, used mainly for Latin
+quotations, is marked with _lines_. Boldface is shown with +marks+,
+while large initial capitals are shown with double ++marks before the
+letter. Superscript letters are shown with ^.
+
+The Notes were published in a separate volume, in preparation at the
+time this e-text was produced (August 2008). For each selection, the
+bracketed paragraph describing the MSS. has been summarized from these
+Notes; additions or omissions shown by ellipses or brackets according to
+the usual rules for academic quotation.
+
+Further details about the format of this e-text are at the end of the
+text. All notes in [[double brackets]] were added by the transcriber.]

+PREFACE
+
+
+Some of the texts in this book have already appeared in the Specimens
+of Early English edited by the Rev. Richard Morris. But Nos. i, ii, iv,
+vii, xiii and xv are new, the important shorter pieces, Nos. vi, viii,
+xvi, xviii, xxi and xxiii, are printed in full, and some, as Nos. viii
+and ix, are taken from additional or better manuscripts. The pieces are
+arranged tentatively in what appears to be the chronological order of
+their composition, but Nos. xix and xvii should have come before the
+Ancrene Wisse, and No. vii has been placed next to the Proverbs of
+Alfred, from which it appears to be derived. It is hoped that those who
+study the older book will find in the present one a useful supplement.
+
+The texts follow the manuscripts in all details. The syntax being
+comparatively simple, there is not much to be gained by modern
+punctuation, and that of the manuscripts has gained a fresh importance
+from theories which have been founded upon it. Where obvious mistakes
+have been corrected in the text, notice is always given in the
+footnotes. Additions are made within square brackets, and
+interlineations are printed between accents.
+
+My best thanks are due to the custodians of the libraries for the
+facilities which with uniform kindness they extended to me in the
+collation of the manuscripts.

+I. WORCESTER FRAGMENTS
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Worcester Cathedral Library, 174.... Its contents are ... (2) the scrap
+here marked A; (3) the pieces B and C with five more fragments of the
+same poem. A completes the page on which the glossary ends, and B is on
+the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been slightly shorn at one side
+and reduced at top and bottom, but probably to no great extent: the
+conjectural complement, which is here printed within square brackets, is
+for the most part fairly obvious, the more so as portions of the lost
+letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the same large square hand,
+but the pieces in verse, which are written continuously, like prose, are
+less carefully executed. The handwriting is of the second half of the
+twelfth century, perhaps about 1180 A.D. The Latin headings are not in
+the MS."]]

+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Jesus College, Oxford, E 29, formerly Arch. i. 29 (J).... written not
+long after 1276 (Anglia xxx, 222).... Our piece is written continuously
+as prose, each stanza forming a paragraph, but iv and v are in one
+without l. 54, which is here supplied, while l. 43 is written at the end
+of the preceding paragraph and similarly the lines beginning viii-xvii,
+xix-xxiii. The scribe was evidently struggling with an original which he
+could not always read; see footnote to l. 105.
+
+".... the copy of the Poema Morale in the same MS. has undergone a
+drastic revision which sets it apart among the versions of that poem,
+and the version of the Owl and Nightingale has suffered, though not to
+the same extent. On the other hand MS. T was copied by a man who was
+incapable of remodelling it; though a ruin, it often preserves in
+details the original."]]

+VIII. POEMA MORALE
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Lambeth 487 (L), a small quarto, 177 × 135 mm., of 67 leaves,
+written towards the end of the twelfth century... nos. x, xi. of this
+book are also taken from it. The words printed in clarendon in these
+three pieces are written in red, not inserted afterwards by a rubricator
+but done at the same time as the rest of the text. The PM ends with
+fordemet, l. 270, in the middle of a page; the final t has a flourish
+for its cross stroke; the copyist had apparently no knowledge of any
+more.
+
+"ii. iii. Egerton 613, B. M.... has two copies of the PM: the second (e)
+furnishes here a complement to the Lambeth MS. as far as l. 370, with
+which it ends; the first (E) is used to complete the text. e was written
+in the first quarter of the thirteenth century, E is somewhat later; the
+former has accents, the latter none.
+
+"iv. Trinity College, Cambridge, B. 14. 52 (T), on vellum, 135 × 105
+mm.; written early in the thirteenth century.... A leaf is lost after
+f 8, and a new hand begins with f 9; the PM appears to be a distinct MS.
+(Anglia, iv. 408). The initials of each line are capitals and written
+apart from their words. A later hand has glossed aihte 42, goodes; ore
+53, favour, grace; lean 64, deserving; manke 70, Manca, Mancus."]]

+XV. ORM
+
+THE ORMULUM
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Junius 1, Bodleian Library, Oxford: an oblong folio, written in double
+columns on 118 leaves of parchment varying considerably in size, the
+largest being 508 × 200 mm.; about 1210 A.D., and an autograph, but
+corrected by a second and third hand."]]
+
+
+[[Further detail from Notes volume:
+
+"Orm supplemented the current graphic methods by devices of his own.
+Thus he systematically doubled a consonant after a short vowel in a
+closed syllable, so tunnderrstanndenn 109. Whether he meant thereby
+to indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is
+disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact
+short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel....
+Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate
+vowel length, as į 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his
+warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater
+insistence trebles it ... mostly before final t.
+
+"Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top
+projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the
+continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen,
+seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and
+that by mistake."]]
+
+
+[[In the original text, the linenotes used yogh for insular g, and
+plain g for Orm's unique {g}. In this version of the e-text, insular g
+has been shown as yogh [gh].
+
+In this selection, all lines have been split at the caesura for length,
+with the second half shown deeply indented.]]

+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Bodleian 34, Oxford (B); on vellum, 165 × 120 mm.; written in one
+hand throughout about 1210 A.D.... It has lost two leaves after f. 80,
+which is very faint and defective. Entries in fourteenth-century hands
+connect it with Ledbury, Godstow, and Magna Coworne (Much Cowarne) in
+Herefordshire. The text is printed from this manuscript up to its end at
+127/4.
+
+"The writing is sometimes difficult to decipher; the letters are often
+crowded and hesitating, a, e, o are sometimes hard to distinguish.
+Doubts are permissible in the following cases, hwen _or_ hwon 118/24,
+ihaten _or_ ihoten 37, hondon _or_ honden 51; in sent 55, the last
+letter wavers between t and d; in [gh]emelese 56, [gh] appears to have
+been corrected out of g; after mei 60, there is a half-formed c; under
+the second o of preoouin 72, there is what looks like a casual pen mark,
+not a dot of erasure; in seoueuald 287, d is corrected out of t, or the
+reverse.
+
+"ii. Royal 17 A 27, British Museum (R); on vellum, 160 × 117 mm.; early
+thirteenth century. Has all the pieces in B except Hali Meidenhad, with

+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Jesus College, Oxford, E 29 (J); see [VI, Alfred]. ii. Cotton
+Caligula A 9, British Museum (C); see XIV, La[gh]amon. They are copies
+of a common exemplar X, which was probably taken directly from the
+poet's original. X was written by two scribes; the work of the first is
+represented in ll. 1-353 of the present selection; that of the second
+in ll. 354-437; the former was accustomed to French scribal methods.
+The writer of C was a mechanical copyist and not at home in English,
+consequently he reproduces X with tolerable accuracy. The scribe of J
+was more independent (see [VI, Alfred, second paragraph in the
+e-text])."]]

+XXI. THE BESTIARY
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Arundel 292, British Museum: on vellum, 200 × 130 mm.: late thirteenth
+century.... The Bestiary is written continuously, but the initials of
+the lines and, in the long metres, of the half lines are mostly
+rubricated.... Latin headings are in red, some are on the margin,
+the others at the head of their sections. As will be seen from the
+footnotes, the manuscript was much corrected or altered over erasures,
+and that after it was finished, for the substituted words do not always
+fill the gaps left by the scraper. The first leaves of the exemplar were
+probably damaged at the lower margin, since defective or difficult
+passages occur at regular intervals, so l. 32, ll. 89-92, 120, 121, 143,
+144, 173, 200, 201."]]

+[Design of the e-text:
+
+Lines of prose have been shortened for readability. The original line
+numbers are shown in {braces} within the text. Mid-line caesuras are
+marked as in the original, with   additional   space.
+
+Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed--inline in the
+prose passages, marginal in verse--with their original brackets. Page
+breaks in verse were marked with a simple line |.
+
+In Linenotes and Collations, single | and double || lines have been
+added by the transcriber where the original used extra space between
+entries.
+
+Several selections offer parallel readings from two or more MSS,
+originally printed on facing pages. These parallel readings are shown
+in sequence, with differing amounts of indentation; long prose passages
+have been broken into smaller units for easier comparison.
+
+
+Editorial material:
+
+As explained in the editor's Introduction, "Additions are made within
+square brackets, and interlineations are printed between accents."
+Brackets added by the transcriber are also used to enclose footnotes and
+similar multi-line blocks of text. The `accents“ occur in pairs, and are
+used nowhere else. Some selections use *asterisks*, also in pairs.
+
+In notes and other editorial material, _lines_ represent italics.
+Headnotes were retained only when they contain text that does not appear
+elsewhere on the page.
+
+
+Errors and Inconsistencies:
+
+A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra space;
+these have been regularized to | lines.
+
+Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the
+original book, variations in line number are for mechanical reasons
+such as unusually long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio
+numbers.
+
+When a new selection began at mid-page, linenotes were sometimes
+identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or
+lower case, as "XVII" or "xvii".]

+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+

+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
