	The '''Exeter Book''' is a collection of [[Anglo-Saxon Poetry]], including a number of [[riddles]]. The earliest history of the book remains obscure, but we do know that it was bequeathed to the library of Exeter Cathedral by Leofric, Exeter's first [[Bishop]], in 1072. The [[manuscript]] itself has been [[paleography\|paleographically]] dated to the [[10th Century]], though it is thought to have been copied from a collection compiled as early as the [[8th Century]]. The manuscript has taken a battering over the years, having been scarred by cuts, mug stains and in some places fire, which have rendered portions unreadable.
