Scale of perfection : [manuscript]

Manuscripts

ff. 1-84v but see reading order. [Walter Hilton] Scale of Perfection. Incipit: //þawȝ þe þink þiself reccheles & negligent. Explicit: and oftentymes þurȝ here gostly presence//. English. Walter Hilton, Scale of Perfection, beginning and ending defectively and with loss of text due to missing leaves; the volume is misbound and should be read as follows, the numbers in parentheses giving the page numbers in E. Underhill, ed., The Scale of Perfection by Walter Hilton (London 1923): f. 13r-v (75-77), f. 14r-v (84-87), f. 3r-v (136-38), f. 4r-v (164-67), f. 2r-v (167-69), f. 1r-v (170-71), ff. 16-20v (169-85), ff. 21-36v (189-245), ff. 43-84v (280-377), ff. 37-38v (377-82), f. 41r-v (382-84), ff. 7-8v (384-89), f. 42r-v (389-90), ff. 39-40v (390-96), ff. 11-12v (415-20), f. 15r-v (443-45), ff. 5-6v (451-55), ff. 9-10v (455-60). The text contains Books 1 and 2 in an apparently deliberate abridgment and thus the chapters do not always coincide with those in the Underhill edition; many of the expanded "Christo-centric" passages are present (that on the Holy Name not verifiable due to missing leaves). For list of manuscripts, see H. L. Gardner, "The Text of the Scale of Perfection," Medium Aevum 5 (1936) 11-30; S. S. Hussey, "The Text of the Scale of Perfection: Book II," Neuphilologische Mitteilungen 65 (1967) 75-92; T. Takamiya, "Luttrell Wynne MS of Walter Hilton," Reports of the Keio Institute 7 (1975) 171-91. See also R.
