John Lydgate wrote the Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund at the request of his abbot, William Curteys, to commemorate the stay of the young King Henry VI at the Benedictine abbey of Bury St Edmunds from Christmas Eve 1433 to shortly after Easter 1434 when Henry was received into confraternity. The work survives in thirteen manuscripts or fragments, and BL MS Harley 2278, on which the present edition of the Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund is based, was the copy of the poem presented to Henry VI, probably before 1444. The Lives consists of a prologue, the Life of St Edmund as books one and two, the Life of St Fremund as book three, a conc1uding prayer to St Edmund, an envoy, and an address to Henry VI. The volume also presents the three texts that make up the Extra Miracles of St Edmund which are found in four of the later manuscripts of the Lives and independently in one manuscript. This edition of the Lives of Ss Edmund & Fremund is the first to establish the text on the basis of the readings of all the manuscripts, and is also the first to include the Extra Miracles. The edited texts are followed by a commentary, textual notes, a glossary of proper names, and a selective glossary.

The content might be interesting, but I was pretty let down by the physical quality of the book. The pages felt thin, and the binding seems weak. It arrived with a scuffed cover too. I expected better for the price. Not sure if I will keep it long-term.

A Rare Find for History Buffs
I got this edition of Lydgate's writings because I'm really into medieval literature. The editing from the British Library is top-notch! It’s fascinating to dive into the lives of St. Edmund and St. Fremund, and the extra miracles add depth to their stories. Definitely a treasure for any history enthusiast!
