Excerpt from The Northern Passion: French Text, Variants and Fragments, Etc

The date 1350 given by Horstmann8 for this expansion was based on the supposition that T and H are mss. Of the middle of the fourteenth century. Though most authorities now date T about 1400 and H a little later, 9 the ap proximate correctness oi Horstmann's date is evidenced by Rawlinson Poetry 175 (p), a middle-fourteenth century ms. Containing the expanded Northern Passion.10 Since this text in turn was copied from some Older ms. Of the complete collection, the date of the expansion is probably a little before 1350.
