The Exeter Book is a 10th-century anthology of Old English poetry, housed in the Exeter Cathedral in Devon, England. It is one of the most important surviving collections of Anglo-Saxon literature, containing 95 poems, including famous works like "The Wanderer" and "The Seafarer." The book is written on parchment and is notable for its rich exploration of themes such as heroism, fate, and the human condition. The manuscript is part of a larger collection known as the Exeter Cathedral Library and is believed to have been compiled by a single scribe. The Exeter Book is significant not only for its literary value but also for its insights into the culture and beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon period.
