PRISCILLA BAWCUTT, honorary professor at the University of Liverpool, was one of the most distinguished contemporary scholars of Older Scots. She edited The Poems of William Dunbar for the Association of Scottlish Literary Studies (1997/8), and The Shorter Poems of Gavin Douglas for the Scottish Text Society (revised 2003); she has written very widely and deeply on all aspects of Older Scots literature, includingher foundational study, Gavin Douglas (1976). IAN C. CUNNINGHAM, former Keeper of Manuscripts at the National Library of Scotland, has published extensively on Latin and Older Scots manuscripts, and edited and translated Theophrastus

An immense amount of time and energy has clearly been expended on the creation of this new edition, to great advantage. This is likely to be the first print edition to provide the text of the Eneados in the form closest to Douglas' original. The material this volume contains is in itself sufficient to indicate that the complete edition will serve as an apt summation of Priscilla Bawcutt's long and highly distinguished career. This edition will no doubt generate, and serve as a foundational text for, work on the poem for many years to come.
