The Prose Works of Sir Gilbert Hay

Second volume of a three-volume edition of the Hay Manuscript, the sole known text of the Scots translations of three French prose treatises, made by Sir Gilbert Hay in the mid-fifteenth century.

Jonathan A Glenn presents us with these meticulously edited versions 'in the hope that an accurate text will make possible further studies and a clearer appreciation of Hay's important body of work'. Volume two contains an impressive scholarly apparatus including an introduction, an editorial statement, textual notes, thorough explanatory notes, and appendices on marginalia and interlinea, manuscript organisation and Latin quotations of authority.
