The present facsimileis the first of either of the two longer versions of the poem to appear for over fifty years.Douce 104 has a unique and more particular claim on our attention. It contains 72 marginal illustrations which provide a record of the response to the poem of an early fifteenth-century reader of exceptional intelligence and literary understanding - a wonderful opportunity to examine an authentic near-contemporary reaction to one of the greatest poems of the English middle ages.
