Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- The Mirror, contained in CCCC MS 282, is a collection of sermons, of which this manuscript is a copy of the late fourteenth century, produced in Middlesex. It contains sixty sermons on the Sunday gospel readings in a Middle English prose version of Robert de Gretham's Anglo-Norman verse Miroir (Evangiles des domnees), written in the middle of the thirteenth century. Robert was possibly an Augustinian canon.
