Prick of Conscience
Description
19th-century pagination, probably by T. C. Neale. Damp staining on several leaves. Initials: 2 to 3-line initials in red for beginnings of sections. Modern front flyleaves contain extensive 19th-century notes relating to the manuscript by T. C. Neale and F. A. Harrison. Written in a large anglicana, but with single-compartment 'a'. It's a distinctive, unusual hand, perhaps 'amateur'. Principal contents: ff. 1r-147v The Prick of Conscience. Some related additions in Latin on ff. 44r-v, 147v. Purchased by the Brotherton Collection, from Maggs Bros., in 1950. See for a fuller description: N. R. Ker, Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries, vol. 3 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1983) p. 67; K. W. Humphreys and J. Lightbown, 'Two Manuscripts of the Pricke of Conscience in the Brotherton Collection, University of Leeds', in: Leeds Studies in English, nos. vii-viii (1952), pp. 29-30; and R.
