The Story of Genesis and Exodus is a Middle English poem of around 4,000 lines, composed about 1250 AD, retelling the biblical stories of creation, the patriarchs, and the Exodus from Egypt. Drawing on the Latin Bible and Peter Comestor’s Historia Scholastica, it is one of the most substantial surviving works of early Middle English religious verse.
A rare and historically significant text, this poem offers a fascinating window into how medieval English poets engaged with scripture. The free EPUB is cleanly formatted with the verse structure preserved.
