About this title

Synopsis

The Riwle (also known as Ancrene Wisse) is a thirteenth-century guide for anchoresses which reached a much wider public in the Middle Ages. The Vernon version, copied in the second half of the fourteenth century, is the last in the series of editions of individual manuscript versions to be published by the Early English Text Society, and follows the editorial methods established by the series. The text of the MS is reproduced as it stands, without emendations. Scribal "errors" and significant variant readings from two of the most important other MSS are given in the Apparatus.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. If you've changed your mind about a book that you've ordered, please use the Ask bookseller a question link to contact us and we'll respond within 4 business days.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 6 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may request extra shipping charges. We usually use US "Media" Mail as it is much cheaper than UPS although we will follow any specific instructions. NOTE: The US postal service regrettably does not offer surface mail. Therefore the average book [weighing more than 1 lb.] will cost $24-$39 for postage abroad (a bit less for Canada) depending on the country. It's an outrageous amount but we are at the mercy of the USPS. Federal Express and DHL are twice as much.
