    About Codex Junius 11

    "Codex Junius 11" by Unknown is a manuscript written in the 10th century containing four Old English poems on Biblical subjects: Genesis, Exodus, Daniel, and Christ and Satan. This illustrated codex tells stories from Creation through Satan's fall, the Israelites' escape from Egypt, Daniel's trials, and Christ's temptation. Notable for its distinctive Genesis B section—translated from Old Saxon and featuring an epic retelling of Satan and humanity's falls—the manuscript represents one of Anglo-Saxon England's four major literary codices.
