As the signatures suggest, quire 1 did not belong to theoriginally intended book but was initially unrelated to the other twenty-five extant quiresand a singleton. These two distinct parts of the codex became physically and textuallyconnected when Scribe I used the end of this booklet (fols. 8v -10v ) to start copying a text that continued at the beginning of quire 2 (fol. 11r ). The volume’s Middle English texts andplace(s) of production were tentatively associated with the West-Midland counties of Cheshireor Shropshire (Ackerman 1947; Kurvinen 1951, 1969; Huws 1996). While a dialectal studyof the core of the manuscript is currently underway by Carrillo-Linares and Garrido-Anes(forthcoming), the present paper aims to offer a detailed analysis of the English texts in thefirst quire–except for Scribe I’s later addition–and to delimit their linguistic provenance.The methodology followed is that devised in A Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English(LALME) (McIntosh, Samuels and Benskin 1986).
