Description

The Ormulum presents metrical English sermons composed by Orm, a late twelfth-century priest from the East Midlands, in a newly edited edition from Oxford University Press. This landmark text survives in Orm's autograph manuscript held at the Bodleian Library (MS Junius 1) and represents a crucial primary source for understanding medieval English literature and linguistic history. The editors have undertaken a fresh transcription and recovered previously missing manuscript sections using Jan van Vliet's seventeenth-century copy from Lambeth Palace Library (MS 783), restoring the text to near completeness. This edition supersedes Holt and White's version, which had remained the standard for over 140 years despite its age and incompleteness. Scholars of Early English poetry, medieval religious texts, and the development of the English language will find this meticulously prepared edition essential for research and study.

Key Features

The Ormulum reproduces Orm's phonetic writing system from his autograph manuscript at the Bodleian Library, offering unparalleled insight into twelfth-century East Midlands speech patterns.

This Oxford University Press edition recovers lost manuscript sections by consulting Jan van Vliet's seventeenth-century copy, completing the text far beyond the previous 140-year-old Holt and White edition.

The newly edited text presents metrical English sermons in fresh transcription, making this medieval religious poetry accessible to modern scholars and students of Early English literature.

As number 360 in the Early English Text Society Original Series, the Ormulum joins a prestigious scholarly collection dedicated to preserving and publishing foundational medieval English texts.
