'Visio monachi de Eynesham', Written late in the 14th century in England
'Visio monachi de Eynesham' or as the rubric of the preface 'Visio que contigit apud Eynesham tempore regis Ricardi primi Anno Domini M°. Cmo. xx/iiij° . xvjto': the monk is known to have been Edmund, and the writer of the account his brother Adam prior of Eynsham. This MS. displays the C-text, see Eynsham Cartulary, ed. by H. E. Salter, vol. ii, 1908 (O.H.S., vol. li, pp. 255-371, esp. p. 277). Some later Latin notes on similar visions are on fol. 42.
Fols. iii-iv are part of a Latin inventory of plate, cloth, etc., with their value, of the time of Henry viii: and fol. 43 is a list of testamentary bequests of money (of a London merchant?) of about 1510.
