Description
The great scholar and palaeographer Sir Frederic Madden (1801-73) was Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum (as it then was) when most of the items in this Handlistwere acquired. The manuscripts here represented, fromthe still expanding Additional collection, provide examples of almost every kind of Middle English prose composition. Many of the items in this Handlistare well known, but some have been previously overlooked and a surprising number remain unedited.
Reviews / Votes
