Dated a1425 in print MED and e-MED. Changed to a1450 June 2019, on advice of OED, based on Hanna's evolving views that the notoriously error-prone scribe of Hnt HM 114, who "Cannot be dated very precisely..., belongs to s. xv med., i.e. c. 1430-60, perhaps to [the second quarter of the fifteenth century.] ... The scribe's activities should probably be placed in the later 1420s or early 1430s." -- R. Hanna, Studies in Bibliography 42 (1989), 121-22. But cp. Hanna and Lawton (EETS 320, p.xxii), identifying the scribe of Hnt HM 114 and Lamb 491 with a known London scribe active ca. 1419-1420. See also Variants below.
