Ardal cynnwys a strwythur
Natur a chynnwys
A volume containing three Middle English texts: The Pricke of Conscience (ff. 1-94 verso), followed by the Trentalle sancti Gregorii (ff. 94 verso-96) and the seven penitential Psalms (ff. 96-106 verso). Lewis and McIntosh (1982), p. 33, place the dialect of our text of the Pricke in Monmouthshire, west Gloucestershire or possibly south Wales. There is comment on Book iv of the Pricke, on Purgatory, Protestant in standpoint, written in an italic hand, [16 cent., second ½] (ff. 28 verso-35 passim), but no other marginalia.
Written in anglicana formata by a single, inelegant scribe. Punctuated by point at verse ends and, in Latin text, by point and punctus elevatus. Ink brown, with greenish appearance through the parchment. The following, despite some appearances to the contrary, are probably by the scribe: (i) corrections, (ii) sidenotes in Latin, (iii) a substantial number of additional and variant verses, presumably deriving from a MS other than the exemplar, and (iv) headings, mostly in English, some long and explanatory, marked for insertion in the text and followed by the letter r (for rubric), derived perhaps from the same source as the additional and variant verses. All but (i) occur only in the text of the Pricke; (iii) and (iv) were added after (ii). The marking for rubrication suggests that our manuscript, with its additions, may have been intended to serve as the exemplar of another.
