The term ‘Bower Manuscript’ is not strictly correct, since it is, as to size, a combination of two manuscripts, a larger and a smaller. The larger manuscript is a complex of six smaller manuscripts which are separately paginated. The Bower Manuscript is therefore, in reality, a collection of seven distinct manuscripts, indicated as parts I to VII in Hoernle’s edition.
