This article provides an editio princeps of a neglected Middle English poem, The Life of St Teilo. The introduction discusses the only manuscript to contain the text (British Library MS Egerton 2810) and how St Teilo came to be copied into it. It also investigates the likely date of the original text, and where it was most probably composed. This leads on to discussion of the poet, and the significance of how he adapts his Latin source.

By taking as a starting point a census of thirteenth-century Roman scientific illuminated manuscripts, this article focuses on the illustrations and decorations of codices produced for cardinals’ private libraries, or for members of the papal curia. It also investigates the cultural and artistic melting pot evidenced by the illuminations of these manuscripts in their agenda of emphasizing curiositas in scientific thought - a particular interest that can be traced back to the Studium Viterbiensis’s speculative activities and to the research carried out in the papal court at Avignon.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight uniquely blends romance and moral themes, prompting critics to argue that marvel in this poem is merely decorative or subversive with regard to moral assumptions. This essay shows instead that marvel critically informs the poem’s moral thought. Marvel teaches us about human beings’ personal relationship with God as a source of virtue, and further alerts us to the moral significance of passions. Both friendship with God and passions vitally complement the rational ideal of ‘trawthe’ as grounded in obligation. Historical background to the poem’s reaffirmation of this traditional perspective can be seen in the rise of the competitive ethics of obligation in the late Middle Ages.
