Description

No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with unmarked boards, dusty page edges, slight foxing to end papers and no bumping to corners. 73pp. Thought to have been written around 1394, this famous poem, as well as telling of the ploughman's code gives us other contemporary details including for example the best description we have of a Dominican convent. The Middle Englist text is accompanied by extensive elements of translation.
