Seventeenth-century modernized version of The Pilgrimage of the Lyfe of the Manhode, translated from Deguilleville's Pèlerinage de la Vie Humaine. Followed by an explicit (f. 123v) and a colophon (f. 124) explaining the relation of this copy to that given to St John's College Oxford by Archbishop Laud (now BodL Laud misc. 740, see IMEP 16 p. 96): ‘Written according to the first copy. The originall being in St Johns Coll. in Oxford and thither given by Will. Laud, Archbp. of Canterbury who had it of Will. Baspoole who before he gave to the Archbp the originall did copy it out. By which it was verbatim written by Walter Parker 1645 and from thence transcribed by G.G. 1649. And from thence by W.A. 1655.’ IPMEP 781; Wells Rev. 7:2552–3 [192]; this MS not noted.
