...the Holkham "Prayers and Meditations” (c. 1400-1420), a rare example of medieval religious literature by a female author written to guide a “religious sustir” in her devotions; and Simon Appulby’s “Fruyte of Redempcyon (1514).

This volume presents the first critical editions of two fascinating but overlooked medieval prayer sequences...

@AncientLitDude @SkripZack Thanks for your patronage! If you like the series, you can order directly from our publisher @MIP_medpub: wmich.edu/medievalpublic…. But almost all @METS_Texts are also reproduced online: d.lib.rochester.edu/teams

Just got another beautiful batch of TEAMS Middle English Texts in. I am very happy.

@medievalfrench Hello! A slightly (very...) belated thought on #3: a cantel? See cantel s.4 in MED - a piece of timber used as a brace or support, which feels not unlike a besche. Bonne chance and hope this helps!

3️⃣ Finally, on the same folio: answers on a postcard to the gloss here! It's glossing 'besche' (a kind of tool for digging) in a comparative phrase.

Middle English fans: we need your help! We're working with a particularly tricky manuscript of Bibbesworth's 'Tretiz' - @BLMedieval, MS Harley 740 - and have a couple of glosses to the French text that are eluding our attempts at deciphering them. Suggestions? Thread below ... ⬇️

Our Managing Editor Pam Yee won't be able to attend because she will be getting her official Ph.D. hood 🎉🎉, so our Staff Editor Eleanor Price will be stepping in to present her paper.

As you plan your journeys to #kzoo2023, please consider coming to the panel 257: Failure and Digital Medieval Studies, where you can hear not one, but two(!) presentations from members of the METS board. We'll be discussing the hidden labor and challenges of our digital redesign.
