Publisher's Synopsis

Second volume of a three-volume edition of the Hay Manuscript, the sole known text of the Scots translations of three French prose treatises, made by Sir Gilbert Hay in the mid-fifteenth century. Jonathan A Glenn presents us with these meticulously edited versions 'in the hope that an accurate text will make possible further studies and a clearer appreciation of Hay's important body of work'. Volume two contains an impressive scholarly apparatus including an introduction, an editorial statement, textual notes, thorough explanatory notes, and appendices on marginalia and interlinea, manuscript organisation and Latin quotations of authority.

About the Publisher

Scottish Text Society

Boydell & Brewer Ltd was formed in 1978. It merged two companies, Boydell Press and D.S. Brewer, whose founders, Richard Barber and Derek Brewer, were themselves scholars - Brewer a Chaucer specialist and subsequently Professor of English and Master of Emmanuel College, Barber a medieval historian and Arthurian. Richard Barber is still a highly active scholar and continues to publish eminently in his own right and offers a vast amount of knowledge and experience to Boydell & Brewer.
