| Notes: | "The text of the poems ... has been made from the collotype reproductions of the Junius manuscript in Gollancz's ʻThe Caedmon manuscript' (Oxford university press, 1927)"--Pref. "When in 1654 Junius published at Amsterdam the poems contained in this manuscript ... he described them as a poetic paraphrase of Genesis and other parts of the Scriptures by the monk Cædmon. But the authorship of some of the poems is doubtful. The manuscript now rests in the Bodleian library at Oxford, where it is numberd Junius XI."--Introd.
