The volume concludes with three indexes, one with all biblical citations, one of all Malachy's other citations, and a third of Malachy's similitudines, his moralised scientific information.

The volume presents selections, nearly a quarter of the whole, from the influential 14th century Oxford exegete Robert Holcot's reading of minor prophets. It includes a commentary that attempts to naturalise Holcot's exegetical method. The volume includes a facing-page translation, numerous references to analogous discussions elsewhere in Holcot, and extensive indexes.

The coming of the age of print was not kind to the works of Richard Rolle, the most influential spiritual writer of the later English Middle Ages, and many remained in manuscript. This critical edition provides four Latin texts with translations, including the 'Super Canticum', a seminal text central to Rolle's oeuvre.

The 'De venenis' attributed to 'Malachias Hibernicus' is a portable discussion of vices and virtues. Probably composed about 1280, originally as an aid for Franciscan preachers, it adopts the innovative metaphor that sin is a poison removed by various 'treacles'. Its argumentative mode is to adduce scientific data about venomous beasts, the sins, and the antidotes to their poisons, the 'remedial' virtues. From these 'facts' of natural history,...

This book is conceived as a handbook for graduates interested in texts and their manuscript presentation, not solely in editing them. As such, it is potentially of broad interest in all fields from antiquity to early modern studies.

Although Richard Rolle, hermit of Hampole, was perhaps the most influential spiritual author of the later English Middle Ages, the coming of print was not kind to him. Although a large collected Latin 'Opera' appeared in the 1530s, it was scarcely exhaustive, and a number of the texts there included, notably Rolle's Latin Psalter commentary, have not been critically examined since. This volume partially redresses this silence by providing a se...

The Index of Middle English Prose is an international collaborative project which will ultimately locate, identify and record all extant Middle English prose texts composed between c.1200 and c.1500, in both manuscript andprinted form in medieval and post-medieval versions. The first step towards this goal has been this series of Handlists, each recording the holdings of a major library or group of libraries. Compiled by scholars, Handlists in...

First edition of a lively medieval romance.

This volume brings together a variety of studies devoted to the literate culture of the English later Middle Ages. The studies hover about four foci: normative English polylingualism (across three grammatically distinct languages), the messiness and discontinuities of medieval manuscript production, drawing conclusions about historical audiences/literary communities on the basis of book-evidence, and the Middle English poem Piers Plowman.

This volume presents a variety of texts relating to the fourteenth-century Yorkshire hermit and mystical writer, Richard Rolle. Most of the material has not previously been published, although some of it can confidently be attributed to Rolle's authorship. Three other unpublished texts are included because they were attributed to Rolle in the Middle Ages. The volume includes a new edition of Rolle's English lyrics, based upon a critical examin...

This mid fourteenth-century poem was one of the most popular Middle English texts in its time. This edition makes it accessible to modern scholars with full annotation, a comprehensive introduction, and detailed commentary.

Ralph Hanna is Emeritus Professor of Paleography, University of Oxford. He is editor of Speculum Vitae: A Reading Edition and The Knightly Tale of Golagros and Gawane: A Critical Edition.

English literary culture in the fourteenth century was vibrant and expanding. Its focus, however, was still strongly local, not national. This study examines in detail the literary production from the capital before, during, and after the time of the Black Death. In this major contribution to the field, Ralph Hanna charts the development and the generic and linguistic features particular to London writing. He uncovers the interactions between ...
