1853 Anglo-Saxon 1^ed The Ancren Riwle Female Anchorite Monastics Prayers Nuns

The Ancrene Wisse, or Ancrene Riwle, was a 13^th-century instructional guide for female monastics living under the anchorite rule. Anchoresses would completely disassociate themselves with society to focus on prayer and asceticism in one solitary location. This guide was collected, edited, and reissued in 1853 by James Morton who included both modern English translations of the ancient Anglo-Saxon English. It includes a thorough history of the Ancrene Riwle – the origins of the sacred quotes, possible authors, and the use of the semi-Anglo grammar.
