The Ormulum is a unique and extensive work of early Middle English religious verse, likely composed in the late 12th century by the Augustinian canon named Orrm. This edition, edited with notes by R.M. White, offers invaluable insight into the language and theological thought of the period. The text consists of metrical paraphrases of the Gospels, accompanied by homilies. Orrm’s distinctive orthography, designed to ensure correct pronunciation, makes The Ormulum a crucial resource for the study of English phonology and the development of the English language. While incomplete, the extant text provides a substantial body of Middle English, preserving a significant piece of England’s literary and linguistic heritage.
