First published in 1900, this volume was edited from a unique 1440
A.D. manuscript residing in Salisbury Cathedral. As a penitential
manual, it joined others of its time such as Handlyng Synne and
Parson's Tale and is one of the more voluminous treatises. The
fundamental allegory of this Middle-English text is of the well of
mire representing the sins of humanity and how it may be cleaned to
become a fit receptacle of Grace as we may also cleanse ourselves
and our consciences. This volume consists of a modest introduction
followed by the Middle-English text Jacob's Well along with
glosses.
