Seller's Description:
Good. No Jacket. 16mo 5.75-6.75'' tall. 1924. Moderate general wear. Stain on cover. 339 pages. The mode of life which the code of rules here printed was intended to regulate is so unlike anything the modern world knows, that some few words of explanation seem called for by way of introduction. More than fifty rears ago the Rev. James Morton, B.D., edited for the Camden Society a semi-Saxon tract on the life of female recluses, which was known as the Ancren Riwle, or, the Regula Inclusarum, that is, the Rule of recluses, or ancresses. Besides printing and editing the text of this thirteenth-century document, which would have been wholly unintelligible to most people, the editor furnished the English translation of the Rule, which, with some very slight changes, is now reprinted from the Camden Society volume. 6259.
