IX. ANCRENE WISSE

[[MS description from Notes volume:

"i. Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 402 (A); on vellum, 215 × 150

mm.... There are glosses in red pencil and words underlined in red.

"The MS. belongs to the second quarter of the thirteenth century. It

cannot be earlier than 1225 A.D., for it mentions the Dominicans and

Franciscans, and it is probably later than 1230. It is the most correct,

but it has additions to the original, such as 62/46-64/62, 64/73-78.

"ii. Caius College, Cambridge, 234 (B); on vellum, 124 × 93 mm.; 368

pages; late thirteenth century. Pages 1-185 consist of extracts from the

AR, but not in the order of the other manuscripts (ES iii. 536).

"iii. Cotton Nero A 14, British Museum (N); on vellum, 146 × 114 mm.;

written in the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Its contents

are ff. 1-120r, the Ancren Riwle; 120v-123v, The Orison, XVIII.

"iv. Cotton Titus D 18, British Museum (T); on vellum, 158 × 120 mm.;

148 folios in double columns, written from f. 14, where AR begins, to
