Note: MS date changed from ?a1325 to ?c1335 June 2019 in coordination with OED, based on the views of A. M. Lucas (Anglo-Irish Poems of the Middle Ages (1995), p.19) and T. Turville-Petre (EETS 345, p. xxi): "a date for the manuscript during the 1330s would fit [the] facts, though given the variability of hand and layout, it is probable that the manuscript was compiled over quite a long period."
