Motivation

The Digital Index of Middle English Verse is an authoritative repertory of Middle English poetry verse, often covering works of unknown authorship that have few identifier schemes. DIMEV replaces NIMEV and DIMEV, and includes a concordance between the three. All three identifier schemes continue to appear in scholarship. AndrewNJ (talk) 15:44, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
