| Summary | "The Story of Genesis and Exodus: An Early English Song, about 1250 A.D." by Richard Morris is an edited historical account of biblical narratives written in the 13th century. This work presents a rendition of the Old Testament stories of Genesis and Exodus, capturing the fall of man and the journey of the Israelites through a unique early English poetic style. The opening of the text establishes the purpose and significance of the work, introducing it as a poetic retelling aimed at those uneducated in Latin, making these essential biblical events accessible to laypeople. The editor discusses the nature of the original manuscript, the editorial process involved in ensuring textual accuracy, and the overall intention behind this early English translation, emphasizing its role in promoting a sense of devotion and moral lessons among its Christian audience. Additionally, the text features a blend of straightforward narrative with touches of poetic invocation, setting a profound tone for the stories that follow.
