It's more likely to be like his edition and translation of 'The Fight at Finnesburgh'. Brilliant, yes, but a 148-page book on a 48 line fragment. He also tends to assume you know Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, and Latin at a minimum.

I'm OK with that, but I get stuck in Old Norse sometimes. Anyway, he's no worse than the Klaeber edition everybody uses in grad school.

Seriously?! I seldom meet anyone else who reads/speaks Old English and Old Icelandic (it's what I did my graduate work in). Drop me a freepmail sometime!
