Abstract
The Middle English prose texts known as "The Abbey of the Holy Ghost" and "The Charter of the Abbey of the Holy Ghost" keep company in a number of late-fourteenth-century and fifteenth-century manuscripts, and are often erroneously assumed to be related parts of one whole. This essay examines their origins and their separate circulation before exploring the range of means by which they were drawn together in certain manuscript contexts, and investigating the precedents that prompted their collocation and abridgement in an edition printed by Wynkyn de Worde.
