Abstract

Abstract Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 402 uniquely transmits the authorial revision of the central Middle English spiritual text, Ancrene Riwle/Ancrene Wisse. The first leaf includes a note of the book’s donation to the Augustinian abbey at Wigmore (Herefs) around 1300. This note investigates the donor and the circumstances that may have prompted both the book’s production and the abbey precentor’s request for its donation.
