PREFAC.E The work of preparing this edition has been spread over many years, interrupted several times by other projects. Research leave funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of Great Britain and by the University of Nottingham enabled me to complete volume and 1 begin work on the projected volume of commentary and glossary. Both the Council and the University, along with the University's School of English Studies, contributed towards travel and other expenses, which I acknowledge gratefully. I would like to record here also my thanks to the staff of the Bodleian Library, the British Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Parker Library, the Hallward Library of the Universif)' of Nottingham (where the Lincoln C.athedral Library fragment has been housed), and the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York for their cooperation and kindness in facilitating my work during numerous visits. I am indebted to Kevin Kiernan for supplying me with digitized ultra violet images of London, British Library, Conon Otho B. x, which enabled me to decipher additional readings . • R.M. n, 01101 I 10 1""1 UNIVEHSIT'f Df CALI FOP.NIA • - On g1110 I rron 1 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA CONTENTS ILLUSTRATION Vilt • ABBREVIATIONS IX •• BIBLIOGRAPHY XU INTRODUCTION .
