Scholar of Early Medieval England with an emphasis in codicology, OE translation, and concepts of place. Shameless fan of Late Antique textual traditions. Fostering productive, irenic conversation between the Academic and Christian communities since 2010.

Even though it clearly echoes the Physiologus tradition, the source material for OE Phoenix largely comes from outside of the bestiaries.
The CC-licensed text presented here condenses and adapts an M.A. thesis completed in 2006 at the College of Charleston, under the direction of Dr. Trish Ward. The OE text was transcribed and edited via a print facsimile.

The overall quire construction follows Kemp Malone (1963), hair and flesh arrangements by Kevin Kiernan (1981), and quire order by Lucas (1990). This construction assumes that the texts were once a unified manuscript and follows the best evidence available from other codicologists, including Boyle (1997) and Gerritsen (1988).

The original version is that presented in NF Blake's edition of the OE "Phoenix," as this version most closely responds to that of the OE text.

It uses Bromwich's triad names and numeration for ease of use.
This is useful both as an index for Bromwich's book and as a shorthand list of available manuscripts for codicological study.

This scan of his reconstruction is in the public domain, and is sufficiently large [read: enormous file] to read all of his annotations.
Do keep in mind two things: there is no visual depiction of Orosius' geography to my knowledge which survived the middle ages. This mostly useful for reference only. Secondly, this is a map of the Latin version only. The OE and Arabic translations of Orosius have their own idiosyncrasies.
