	Exeter Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Exeter Book, also known as the Codex Exoniensis, is a tenth century book (or, as some prefer, a codex) of Anglo-Saxon poetry.
		The Exeter Book is the largest known collection of Old English literature that exists today.
		Though the precise date of the Exeter Codex's inscription is unknown, it may generally be described as one of the great fruits of the English Benedictine revival of the tenth century.

		The “Exeter Book” (Exeter, Cathedral Library, 3501) is the name conventionally given to one of the major collections of Old English poetry, containing about one-sixth of the surviving corpus.
		The Exeter Book scribe certainly wrote one other manuscript -- London, Lambeth Palace, 149 (fos 1-139), which was donated to an unidentified monastic house (possibly Crediton) by one Æthelweard in 1018.
		In fact, it is far from certain that the second scribe was responsible for the corrections in Lambeth 149, and the Exeter provenance of the other manuscripts (leaving the Exeter Book aside) proves on examination to be either late or, in one case, non-existent.

		The $15,000 fellowship will allow Drout to travel to the University of Seville, Spain, to collaborate on research on various Exeter Book poems and the Benedictine Reform with the leading experts on Anglo-Saxon riddles (which make up the majority of the final booklet in the Exeter Book).
		According to Drout, the Exeter Book, more than any other single literary object, represents the diversity of Anglo-Saxon poetry and culture.
		"When examining four Exeter Book poems (the so-called 'wisdom poems') for How Tradition Works [Drout's newly released text], I realized that a detailed literary and cultural analysis of the Exeter Book as a whole had the potential to shed a great deal of light on Anglo-Saxon culture and cultural production," he said.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Regardless of where it was produced, the manuscript has most certainly been in the possession of Exeter since the bishopric of Leofric, who moved the episcopal see from Crediton to Exeter in 1050 and died in 1072; a list of his donations to the cathedral includes mention of what appears to be the Exeter Book.
		The primary editions of the Exeter Book as a whole are the 1936 edition of Krapp and Dobbie and the 1994 edition by Muir, both listed in the Bibliography below.
		Since the actual circumstances of the production of the manuscript are unlikely to be known with certainty, readings of any individual text of the Exeter Book that rely fundamentally on the relation of the text to the whole work may be subject to question.
