Summary

What follows below is an edition of Manuscript E, a damaged text fragment of the Old English Martyrology; for further details, see p. 22 above. Because the manuscript is so badly damaged, examination with modern technology is crucial; Celia Sisam was the first to investigate the manuscript under ultraviolet light. For the edition below, a new set of ultraviolet images was produced which turned out to be of higher quality than the images at Sisam's disposal and which have been used to re-examine her readings. Uncertain readings are given in parentheses. Capitalisation, punctuation and subdivision into paragraphs are modern; tironian notes have been expanded throughout (“ond’). The number of dots are intended to represent the number of missing letters, but in cases of longer passages which now appear illegible because of surface damage or truncation of the page, I have not attempted to calculate the number of lost letters. Such passages are here signalled with square brackets and a reference indicating illegibility or missing text. The text contains annotations by what seem to be two hands, here designated Ea and Eb; their contributions are signalled in the apparatus.
