Template:Short description Template:Italic title Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Crist (Old English for Christ) is the title of any of three Old English religious poems in the Exeter Book. They were initially believed to be a three-part work by a single late 9th and early 10th century author, but more recent scholarship has argued that the works are more likely of differing origins.[1]
- Crist I (also Crist A or Advent Lyrics), a poem in twelve sections on Christ's Advent written by an unknown author (or authors).
- Crist II (also Crist B or The Ascension), a poem on Christ's Ascension written by the Anglo-Saxon poet Cynewulf.
- Crist III (also Crist C), a poem on the Last Judgment written by an unknown author.
