An extensively introduced and annotated edition of two Old English versions of the colourful legend of the virgin martyr, St Margaret of Antioch, who became one of the most widely celebrated of medieval saints and the patron saint of childbirth.
This book presents an edition, with facing translations and commentary, of three long-neglected Old English apocryphal gospels dealing with the birth, childhood, death and assumption of Mary, extant in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. An extensive introduction covers the origins and development of the apocrypha and their influence in Anglo-Saxon England.
