1866. Edited from Robert Thornton's MS. The treatises in this
volume were taken from a miscellaneous collection of Poems, Tracts,
Prayers, and Medical Receipts, made by Thornton, archdeacon of
Bedford, in the earlier half of the fifteenth century. These
religious tracts are valuable in two ways. First, as illustrating
the teaching given to the people (the unlered or lewed) in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries; and second as genuine specimens
of the old Northumbrian dialect-perhaps the finest form of the
ancient English tongue. The present volume contains only those
which are attributed to Richard Rolle, the hermit of Hampole.
