While the exiled Dante was penning the "Divine Comedy" in Italy, an unknown clerk was writing in the south of Scotland the "Cursor Mundi", which is double the length of "Paradise Lost", and is one of the most remarkable pieces of literature that survives from the Medieval period. This poem, drawn from Biblical paraphrase, ancient Christian myth, Medieval legends, lives of the saints and a mass of miscellaneous information, appears in some ten manuscripts which vary in length from fragments of a few hundred lines to the complete work of some twentyfive thousand lines.
