medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Thomas Meacham,
The first ten hits in Google in response to a search for the phrase "judicio solis" all have to do with this poem. As far as I can see after looking at several of these, it would appear that the edition of reference is still that in Emile Littré, “Opuscule relatif a la peste de 1348”, _Bibliotheque de l’Ecole des Chartes_ 2 (1840-41), 201-243.
John B. Friedman's article, "Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid" and the "Judicio Solis in Conviviis Saturni" of Simon of Couvin," _Modern Philology_ 83 (1985), 12-21, discusses the poem _passim_ and provides references to earlier scholarship.
Rosemary Horrox' well-known anthology of contemporary accounts of the Black Plague, _The Black Death_ (Manchester University Press, 1994), has on pp. 163-67 an English-language translation of Simon's own description of the poem's contents. This is available on line (it came up in the aforementioned Google search) at:

NB: Horrox, who has also read the poem in Littré's article, gives its title as _De Judicio Solis_.
Apart perhaps from my having looked at Friedman's article on-line (available to me in JSTOR), was there anything in the above that you could not have done yourself?
Best,
John Dillon
