About This Book

The volume collects English verse centered on a long moralized narrative in which a penitent lover confesses to a master of love and receives narrated exempla drawn from classical, biblical, and popular traditions; these tales are organized into successive books that explore moral vices and virtues within an octosyllabic couplet framework, alternating story-telling with reflective commentary. The edition reproduces the Middle English text from authoritative manuscripts and is accompanied by an introduction, textual notes, glossaries, and critical apparatus that document sources, variants, and editorial decisions.

Explicit Liber Secundus.
