The Hereward the Wake supplement. Numbered by chapters. This was originally published in parts, with issues of FNQ from April
1895. Its thirty-six chapters are
presented here in annotated form and the Latin and English versions are

some proof-reading and copy-editing but it should not be too misleading in its
present form. RJP
