This version is a good text as far as clarity, though it is NOT a faithful middle-english rendition--all the thorns and eths and yoghs are gone, and modern spellings substituted in their place. Other than the lack of that particular charm, the text is good, close to original syntax, not a translatio...
A fascinating and funny look at women's lives and religion in the late Middle Ages.
