  Pricke of Conscience : [manuscript]

  Manuscripts

  ff. 1-120v. [Pricke of Conscience]. Incipit: Here bigynnet þe ferst part of þis boke þat speket of mannes wrecchedenes Prima pars, Ferst when god made al þing of nouȝt/ Man of þe foulest mater was wrouȝt. Explicit: Vnto þat same ioye he vs bringe/ þat for oure loue makede al þinge. Amen par charite. English. IMEV 3428 (listing HM 130), but actually IMEV 3429; Southern Recension; corrected throughout by a second hand, over erasures, from a text of a different tradition. R. Morris, ed., The Pricke of Conscience. The Philological Society (Berlin 1863), from London, Brit. Lib., Cotton Galba E.ix. See R. E. Lewis and A. McIntosh, A Descriptive Guide to the Manuscripts of the 'Prick of Conscience.' Medium Aevum Monographs n.s. 12 (Oxford 1982) 147-48. HM 130 bears printer's marks first identified by H. C. Schulz,"Manuscript printer's copy for a lost early English book," The Library, 4th ser. (1941) 22:138-44. One of the printed books set from HM 130 was identified independently by A. I. Doyle and W. A. Ringler: pts. 1-3 of the Prick of Conscience constitute NSTC 24228, A New Treatyse, attributed to Miles Hogarde, printed by R. Wyer [1542?]. Doyle had previously recognized pt. 4 of the Prick of Conscience as STC 3360, A little book of Purgatory, printed by R. Wyer, dated"1550?" by STC but revised by K. Pantzer to"before Whitsun 1534" (the unique copy of this book is Huntington Library RB 17065). See H. C. Schulz,"A Middle English Manuscript Used as Printer's Copy," Huntington Library Quarterly 29 (1966) 325-36, with a plate of f. 37v. This manuscript beginning defectively in the prologue ( v. 77:"// Euer to knowe boþ gode and ille/ And þerto ȝaf him witt and wille").
