[[MS description from Notes volume:
"Jesus College, Oxford, E 29, formerly Arch. i. 29 (J).... written not
long after 1276 (Anglia xxx, 222).... Our piece is written continuously
as prose, each stanza forming a paragraph, but iv and v are in one
without l. 54, which is here supplied, while l. 43 is written at the end
of the preceding paragraph and similarly the lines beginning viii-xvii,
xix-xxiii. The scribe was evidently struggling with an original which he
could not always read; see footnote to l. 105.
".... the copy of the Poema Morale in the same MS. has undergone a
drastic revision which sets it apart among the versions of that poem,
and the version of the Owl and Nightingale has suffered, though not to
the same extent. On the other hand MS. T was copied by a man who was
incapable of remodelling it; though a ruin, it often preserves in
details the original."]]
