109. #helfter#, halter, noose: OE. #hælfter#. The original had, no doubt, laqueus diaboli. For similar expressions comp. ‘Revera ornatus muliebris sagena diaboli est,’ Caesarius Heist., 287; ‘diaboli hamus,’ Vitas Patrum, 302. #þeos wimmen# &c.: comp. ‘Mundus est _la garanne au diable_ in qua venatur ut capiat animas, et tendit ibi laqueos infinitos. Unus laqueus ejus est pulchritudo corporalis et ornatus. Unde istae dominae, quae tam pulchrae videntur esse et tam bene ornatae, _acemées_, sunt muscipula diaboli, quam tendit ad capiendum fatuos; ipsae sunt _la ratière au diable_,’ Hauréau, Notices, iv. 154. #lumeð#, shine, are splendidly attired. The MS. reading luueð and Morris’s conjecture liuieð give a poor sense. For _lumen_ comp. ‘Hire lure lumes liht, | ase a launterne a nyht,’ Böddeker, AE. Dicht. 169/23; ‘þat lemeþ al wiþ luefly lyt,’ id. 152/6, 155/8, 145/3. The transitive ‘alemeþ,’ illuminates, occurs in OEH ii. 109/1; ‘alumþ,’ id. 141/29. #musestoch#: comp. ‘Similiter assatur caseus et ponitur in muscipula. Quem cum sentit Ratus, intrat in muscipulam, capit caseum et capitur a muscipula. Sic est de omni illicito. Caseus as[s]atur, quando mulier paratur, ornatur, ut stultos ratos alliciat et capiat,’ Eudes de Cheriton, 221/1; ‘Mulier pulchra . . . est caseus in muscipula. Mulier adornatur . . . Hoc est caseus assatus,’ id. 328/1. See also 62/51 note. 114. #blanchet#, ‘fine wheaten flour,’ Halliwell, who quotes from MS. Bowes of Robert of Brunne, ‘With blaunchette and other flour | To make thaim qwytter of colour.’ 116. #scawere#, mirror: comp. OEH ii. 29/9-13. #hindene#, Morris thinks is miswritten for hid-ern, hiding-place; a word which does not occur elsewhere; if it were connected with OE. #hȳdan# the first syllable would be hud- in this text. In Specimens it is translated snare, with comparison of OE. #hinderhōc#, stratagem, as if for hindere. I take it to be the _adv._ hinden in substantive use, the hinder parts, the ‘behind’; in CM 22395, ‘hindwin.’ There is an ‘exemplum’ preserved in Le Livre du Chevalier de la Tour Landry, ch. xxxi, which tells what the lady who devoted a fourth of the day to her toilet once saw in her mirror; it was probably in our writer’s mind here. The Book of the Knight was written for the instruction of his daughters. 118. #wið#: comp. 48/299 and ‘þer wið,’ 82/121; ‘þe clenesse iscilt heo wið unþeawes,’ OEH i. 111/17; but ‘from,’ 148/141; ‘Wiðtieð giu fro flesliche lustes,’ OEH ii. 63/28. _Cross-Reference_ 62/46 (note) = IX. B (Ancrene Wisse: Outer Rule) _Errata_ 61. ... Schmid, Gesetze, 178/5. [Schmidt] 103. ... The parallelism between ‘nec--dare’ and ‘maȝen--godalmihtin’ [_second set of quotation marks missing_] XII.
