The medieval poem Cursor Mundiis a biblical verse account of the history of the world, offering a chronological overview of salvation history from Creation to Doomsday. Originating in northern England around the year 1300, the poem was frequently copied in the north before appearing in a southern version in substantially altered form.

In addition it provides a discussion of sources and analogues, detailed explanatory notes, and a bibliography.Stauffenberg, Henry J. is the author of 'Southern Version of Cursor Mundi Lines 12713-17082' with ISBN 9780776648149 and ISBN 0776648144.
