This book is a revised edition of The Ormulum, an early English religious verse work composed in the late 12th century. The text has been carefully corrected, the notes have been revised and expanded, and the glossary has been verified and given significant additions. The preface includes an account of the history of the text and its transmission, an explanation of the author's orthography, a description of the grammar, a detailed discussion of the meter, and an investigation of the phonology. The Ormulum is written in an East Midland dialect and consists of a series of homilies on the Gospels and Epistles for the church year. The author's intent was to offer lay people spiritual guidance at a time of doctrinal controversy. The Ormulum is one of the most significant works in the history of the English language and is an invaluable resource for scholars studying medieval English language and literature.
