Description

The physical make-up of the Morte Arthure section of Lincoln Cathedral MS 91 is rich in information about Robert Thornton's copying, and understanding, of the alliterative poem. The illustrations that accompany the Morte - including an amateur 'frontispiece' added much later - form an attentive and evolving response to the poem.
