Bibliographic Citation:
|
Rolle, Richard, of Hampole, 'The pricke of conscience (Stimulus conscientiae): a Northumbrian poem by Richard Rolle de Hampole; copied and edited from mss. in the library of the British Museum, with an introd., notes, and glossarial index by Richard Morris.' (Berlin: A. Asher, 1863)
|
|
Notes:
|
The authorship is very often ascribed to Richard Rolle of Hampole, a prolific 14th-century hermit and mystic, but modern scholarship has cast doubt over this assertion and has instead ascribed the work to a different and anonymous writer.
