Caedmon???????s Exodus And Daniel is a book written by Theodore Whitefield Hunt and published in 1883. The book is a collection of two Old English poems, Caedmon???????s Hymn and The Song of Exodus, which are both believed to have been written by Caedmon, an Anglo-Saxon poet and monk who lived in the seventh century. The first poem, Caedmon???????s Hymn, is a short religious poem that praises God and his creation. The second poem, The Song of Exodus, is a retelling of the biblical story of the Israelites??????? escape from Egypt, as told in the book of Exodus. The book includes a translation of both poems into modern English, as well as an introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the poems. Hunt???????s translation of the poems is considered to be faithful to the original Old English text, while also making them accessible to modern readers. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Old English literature and anyone interested in the history of English poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
