Synopsis
Excerpt from First Middle English Primer: Extracts From the Ancren Riwle and Ormulum; With Grammar, Notes, and Glossary
IN the present edition I have made such alterations and additions as seemed likely to increase the utility of the book. In doing so I have been greatly aided by Mr. C. Stoffel, of Amsterdam, to whom I take this opportunity of ex pressing my thanks. I also have to acknowledge some useful criticisms received from Dr. F. Holthausen. I have, on the other hand, omitted to give the ms. Readings in cases of correction, as I now consider such details out of place in a primer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of texts that provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of medieval Christian women living in 13th century England. Written by the author as a guide for female religious figures known as anchoresses, these texts offer unique insight into the religious, social, and cultural landscape of the period. The anchoresses were women who dedicated their lives to religious contemplation and prayer, often living as recluses in small cells attached to churches. The texts cover a wide range of topics, including the anchoresses' daily routines, their spiritual practices, and their interactions with the outside world. The author provides detailed instructions on how the anchoresses should conduct themselves, from their clothing and diet to their behavior towards visitors. The book also includes prayers, meditations, and moral tales designed to help the anchoresses on their spiritual journeys. Beyond their religious significance, these texts are also valuable historical documents that shed light on the everyday lives of medieval women. They provide a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in a patriarchal society and offer a unique perspective on the role of religion in shaping their lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
