Image description

Miniature of the miracle of Saint Edmund's head: after Edmund's martyrdom, his head was hidden in a thicket, but a wolf guarded the head and protected it from other wild animals. This marginal miniature is placed next to the text of another miracle, explaining how the head cried out "Here! Here! Here!" enabling it to be found, and reunited with the body. Lives of St Edmund and St Fremund (ff. 4-46); Secrees of Old Philisoffres (ff. 52-81); Regiment of Princes (ff. 84-144v); imperfect Author: Lydgate, John / England, S. E. (probably Suffolk, possibly Bury St Edmunds); c. 1450 - c. 1460 Language: English Source/Shelfmark: Harley 4826, f.26v
