Complaint of the dying creature (BL, Harley MS 1706)

Comment

Apart from this manuscript, this text is found only in four editions by Wynkyn de Worde (1506, 1507, 1514, and without a date, perhaps of 1531-34), but with different rubrics. According to Doyle 1958 (p. 230), both versions may have had a common model. A change of hands and layout from one to two columns occurs on f. 104v.
