This article provides an editio princeps of a neglected Middle English poem, The Life of St Teilo. The introduction discusses the only manuscript to contain the text (British Library MS Egerton 2810) and how St Teilo came to be copied into it. It also investigates the likely date of the original text, and where it was most probably composed. This leads on to discussion of the poet, and the significance of how he adapts his Latin source.
