| RelatedMaterial | Work was published by Oxford University Press based on mss Tann. 326 in the Bodleian Library which is near identical to MS/139 and clearly a copy from the same original (neither is in Norgate's hand). Believed to be a later, more developed version than other extant copies of the work. The various versions of the work and attribution to different authors over the years are discussed in the introduction to the Oxford University Press edition edited by Martin Hardie (1819). |
