Malone Kemp (ed.). Deor

3rd Edition. — London: Methuen & Co, 1961. — VIII+40 p. — (Methuen’s Old English Library)."Deor" (or "The Lament of Deor") is an Old English poem found in the late-10th-century collection the "Exeter Book". The poem consists of the lament of the scop Deor, who lends his name to the poem, which was given no formal title.
The present edition of Deor (the first separate edition of the poem) is based upon the text as it appears in the facsimile edition of the Exeter Book, advance sheets of which were very kindly lent to the editor by Professor R. W. Chambers, but for whose helpfulness the publication of this volume would have been greatly delayed. Grateful acknowledgements are also due to Professor F. Holthausen and Dr. Stefán Einarsson, who generously furnished certain bibliographical information not available in the libraries to which the editor had access. Last but not least, the editor wishes to thank the general editors of Methuen's Old English Library for many valuable suggestions and for a friendly co-operation the helpfulnes of which it would be hard to over-estimate.
