The poems from The Exeter Book, broadly termed 'religious allegories', are The Phoenix and three others, The Panther, The Whale and The Partridge. The book includes an introduction, notes, select bibliography, and appendices with the Latin texts of Lactantius' Carmen de ave phoenice, Ambrose's Hexameron, Carmody's Y and B versions of Physiologus, the Vespasian Anglo-Saxon text of The Phoenix, and parallel English renderings of all of the above-named. - [Author]
