Description:
Prick of Conscience. 19th century pagination appears in the corner of each folio, probably by T.C. Neale. All folio references use modern pencil foliation at bottom of recto pages. Decoration: 2 to 3-line initials in red for beginnings of sections. Written space is 185 x 60-110 mm. 1 column; 27-35 lines per column. Damp staining on several leaves. Written in large anglicana, but with single-compartment 'a', by a distinctive, unusual hand, perhaps 'amateur'.

Notes:
The authorship is very often ascribed to Richard Rolle of Hampole, a prolific 14th-century hermit and mystic, but modern scholarship has cast doubt over this assertion and has instead ascribed the work to a different and anonymous writer.
