I'm not even quasi-expert on this, but I did pick up a relevant piece of
bibliography just before dashing out for a meeting and sending off the
previous post:
Michael D. Cherniss, “The Cross as Christ’s Weapon: The Influence of
Heroic Literary Tradition on the Dream of the Rood,” _Anglo-Saxon
England_ 2 (1973) 241-52.
And there was a typo in my ps: read "Sta Prassede".
Best again,
John Dillon
