Linguistically similar to the Ormulum? Not in the slightest! Where the heck did that come from? Nearly 200 bloody years separate the two texts. Not to mention the intervening Middle English texts that survive - Layamon's Brut, Ancrene Wisse and the rest of the Katherine Group, Owl and the Nightingale, to mention only a few. This article strikes me as having gone well awry in its embrace of the trivial, to the point of being wholly uninformative.
It sounds as though you are eager to put it right. Now we've got you going, we should be getting some info. Please. :) The word linguistically was put so as not to give the impression that the two documents were on the same subject. But, if you can elucidate here, or with a link to another article if that is more appropriate, then your help would be well received. (RJP11:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC))Reply
What's the evidence for Pocklington, out of curiousity? And why is there a link to Ayenbite? (Lutefish 18;47, 26 November 2005 (UTC))
I put in the link to Pocklington as a provisional arrangement pending the arrival of an article on Warter or Warter priory. Pocklington was the nearest place which had an article and it does include a line on Warter. The priory was at SE8548 near the village of Nunburnholme but that is very small and it too has a red link.
Perhaps the contributor who noted the Ayenbite saw that work as an attempt by Michael of Northgate to do the same sort of service for common people as Robert was attempting in Handlyng Sinne and at broadly the same time. (RJP12:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC))Reply
RJP - thanks for the response. I'm still curious what evidence there is for associating Mannyng with Warter and/or Pocklington. Thanks. (Lutefish 12;24, 30 November 2005 (UTC))
