Prick of Conscience with some related additions in Latin. 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.
