	Literary Encyclopedia: Exeter Book
		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.
		It has been suggested that both manuscripts were found at Crediton by Leofric, and that Æthelweard was an associate of two of the known patrons of the writer and scholar Ælfric of Eynsham, but the Crediton identification is by no means certain (and in any case leaves the origin of the manuscripts undecided).
		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 Exeter Book is our only surviving source for most works it contains, the most famous of which are "The Wanderer," "The Seafarer," "Widsith," "Wulf and Eadwacer," "The Wife's Lament," and a great collection of the witty riddles at which the Old English poets excelled.
