4to.
The first part of the Speculum contemplationis of Walter Hylton, Monk of Sion, temp. Hen. VI. in English prose. This work has been printed by Wynkyn de Worde, under the title of Scala perfectionis, or The ladder of perfeccyon,and reprinted in 1659, 12mo, the language being modernised and greatly altered. Beg. "Gostly brother or sister in Jhu crist i praye ye that in the callyng." The present is not the same work as "The contemplations of Walter Hilton," Cotton MS. Faustina, B. vi. 22, which is ill verse, and ascribed to our Monk, apparently without authority, by the first compiler of the Cotton Catalogue, who was probably deceived by the similitude of the titles. This MS. is written on vellum, and of the fifteenth century. At the end of the Speculum is a fragment on two leaves only, written in the fourteenth century, of the old French metrical romance of Milles and Amys.
