Published originally in two parts, 1892-1897.

The editor ascribes the "Awntyrs off Arthure" and the "Pistill of Susan" to Huchown of the Awle ryale; the ascription is disputed.

The Pistill of Susan is the story of Susanna as given in the Vulgate, Daniel, XIII. The notes include the Vulgate text, and Wycliffe's version.
