I'm already learning from orals reading....

...and I haven't even finished compiling my lists!

OK, that's not quite true. The lists themselves (with the exception of the Chaucer list, which is "RIVERSIDE CHAUCER" and five secondary works) are actually all typed up with bibliographical info and everything. It's my justifications I'm not quite done with yet. Ah well. Should be done before I go to bed tonight. Or rather, it has to be done before I go to bed tonight.

BUT I did find the most fascinating thing *EVER* when I was searching for Old English texts. I'm sure I'm the last to know about it, because let's face it, the edition was published 7 years ago, but did you know that there's an Old English Gospel of Mary??????

Talk about cool. Granted, it's just about Mary -- her childhood, birth, life, assumption, etc. But still. Gospels that didn't make the cut fascinate me. This orals list is looking like more fun by the day.

That's some good stuff there... I'll assume you're familiar with the Gospel of Nicodemus and Pseudo-Matthew...
