Among thirteenth-century English devotional writings, the "Ancrene
Wisse", the Katherine Group and the Wooing Group are central to
debate about a putative standardised English, the AB Language. This
book consists of articles investigating the manuscripts, textual
transmission, punctuation, spelling, grammar and vocabulary of the
"Ancrene Wisse" Group. All the contributors use data taken from the
parallel manuscript editions published by the Tokyo Manuscript
Reading Group. The articles exemplify ways of using such
parallel-text editions for linguistic and literary analysis. They
present new findings on lexical and morphological divergences,
which taken together cast light on scribal variation in texts
transmitted in manuscript.
