    Summary note
    "Speculum vitae is the hitherto unedited translation into Middle English verse of Lorens d'Orlean's profoundly influential pastoral treatise, 'Somme le roi'. ... This edition is based on a collation of the five early manuscripts, all Yorkshire productions ... The Introduction contains a full discussion of the manuscripts, authorship, dialect and date, with an account of both its source and other works which it has influenced."
