This collection of articles deals with the manuscripts, textual transmission, punctuation, spelling, grammar and vocabulary of the «Ancrene Wisse», the Katherine Group and the Wooing Group.

All the contributors use data taken from the parallel manuscript editions published by the Tokyo Manuscript Reading Group.
