Lambeth Homilies, Trinity Homilies

 * ... that the Old English Lambeth Homilies (c. 1200), written in the Middle English period, share five homilies (and the Poema Morale) with the Trinity Homilies (c. 1200-1225), which likewise preserve Old English forms?

 * Symbol question.svg From Ov to Vo in Early Middle English doesn't support that both share the Poema Morale. In fact, it doesn't mention Poema at all (i.e. fn1 in Poema Morale fails verification) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Correct: but the next reference, the description of Cambridge, Trinity College, B. 14. 52, does. Drmies (talk) 05:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Much better. AGF on offline and paywalled references, no close paraphrasing that I've found. New enough, long enough, fairly SUPER DUPER interesting. Might be worth noting in-article if this is pronounced po-E-ma mo-RA-le or pu-MA mo-RAL or however. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fairly interesting? Xcuse me? This is fascinating! Indirect passives! West Midlands or Middlesex? Septenary lines! Anglo-Norman and Old English, prose and poetry! An old man reflecting on guilt and sin, and describing the pleasures you'll miss unless you change your life! What more could you ask for? Sheesh. Drmies (talk) 14:39, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If we count page views, our readers want nude pictures of intersexed people (somehow that's my most popular article). Academically it is fascinating, but for Joe Blow... If you have access to the poem it would be PD, and an old translation might be too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:43, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
