Editing Layamon (section)

==Spelling of name==
Print-era editors and cataloguers have spelled his name in various ways, including "Layamon", "Lazamon", or "Lawman". Brown University suggests that the form "Layamon" is etymologically incorrect; the Fifth International Conference on {{lang|ang|Laȝamon's}} ''Brut'' at Brown University stated, "BL MS [[Cotton Caligula]] A.ix spells it '{{lang|ang|Laȝamon}}' (the third letter is called a "[[yogh]]"). BL MS [[Cotton Otho]] C.xiii spelled it 'Laweman' and 'Loweman'."<ref>[http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Medieval_Studies/lawman_conference/program.html program Medieval Studies Department, Brown University] Retrieved October 21, 2006</ref>
