Author:
Fletcher, A. J.
Notes:
CCCC MS 402 On significance of references to black, white and grey in Ancrene wisse and Hali meidhad, in regard to reference to the mendicants. Notes that Bodleian, Bodley 34, which contains the latter text, dating to c. 1225, and not much earlier than CCCC MS 402, which contains the former. In Ancrene wisse CCCC MS 402 the writer refers to Franciscans and Dominicans, so it must have been written after 1224 when they came to England, pp. 70, 73, 75
