Adam Davy's Five Dreams About Edward Ii

Adam Davy's Five Dreams About Edward II is a collection of medieval dream visions written in Middle English by an unknown author. The book contains five separate dream narratives, each with its own unique story and message. The first dream, The Life of St. Alexius, tells the story of a wealthy young man who gives up his wealth and status to live a life of poverty and devotion to God. The second dream, Solomon's Book of Wisdom, explores the wisdom of King Solomon and his teachings on justice and morality. The third dream, St. Jeremie's Fifteen Tokens Before Doomsday, describes the signs that will precede the end of the world. The fourth dream, The Lamentation of Souls, is a haunting depiction of the torments suffered by souls in Purgatory. The final dream, The Vision of Edward II, recounts the life and death of the controversial king of England. The book is edited and translated by E. J. Furnivall, a prominent 19th-century scholar of Middle English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
