Ulysses

Interesting to learn what James Joyce has ~~Leopold Bloom~~ Stephen Dedalus thinking of as "Agenbite of Inwit" in Ulysses: see [1]. -- JimR 12:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Random House Agenbite of Inwit reference above

Just wanted to mention that the "random house" reference above "(1)" is now returning an "error". I had also referenced this site at my website (shameluss plug I suppose, but what can it hurt) - kjh-es.com. I'm not actually signed up with Wikipedia, but I thought I'd offer this comment up. If I was signed up it would be as such: -- KenH 10:51, 17 August 2007 in Charlotte, NC -- you know, eastern time. Peace.

June 9, 2008: Please note that the randomhouse link is now functional again! It is worth checking out. Peace, Ken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.181.42.91 (talk) 15:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with the crude contradiction between http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Canterbury_Tales#Text and this article regarding the popularity of the text? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.92.57.11 (talk) 03:47, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Canterbury Tales article is talking about the French original--if there were two copies just in the St. Augustine library, it could well be the second-most popular work then, no? zafiroblue05 | Talk 06:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this may shine some light on the question:
A Middle English Manuscript Used As Printer's Copy, by H.C. Schultz

It appears the confusion arises from the distinction between early handwritten manuscripts and early printed text editions. The former are relatively common while the latter are surprisingly rare. --Kevjonesin (talk) 13:35, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note though that I'm not entirely sure that Prick of Conscience ("most popular of all medieval poems") and Ayenbite of Inwyt are in fact always referring to the same text. I'm still doing some web research. Found this version of the Ayenbite text: http://archive.org/details/danmichelsayenb01michgoog

--Kevjonesin (talk) 13:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The Pricke of Conscience (Stimulus Conscientiae): A Northumbrian Poem (1863)" and "Dan Michel's Ayenbite of inwyt; or, Remorse of conscience. In the Kentish dialect, 1340 A.D (1866)" appear to be quite different texts. Both versions were edited by Richard Morris in the 1860s. Unfortunately, I think the similarity in the modern English names may have led to some confusion in the wiki article (and possibly on other web sites). I'll likely keep looking into it; however, assistance and feedback would be most welcome. --Kevjonesin (talk) 14:51, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Northgate

Where is Michael of Northgate from? Is this Northgate in Colchester? Drutt (talk) 07:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

unverifiable?

Anyone have sources for this. I'm having a hard time. Andre🚐 18:19, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
