Notes:
CCCC MS 402 The second volume of the edition of Ancrene wisse using the text of CCCC MS 402. There is a discussion of dating and localisation, and of the long addition addressed to anchoresses, unique to the Corpus ms. It is concluded that the dialect suggests the area north of Hereford and in southern Shropshire. The commentary on the text is very extensive, pp. xii-xiv, xxii-xxiii, xxvi. 1-303 (commentary on the text)
