Abstract

This article sets out to provide an edition of a previously unpublished allegorical text on the monastic life (London, BL MS Add. 46919) which is based on the structuring metaphor of the (seven) buildings of the monastic enclosure. The doctrinal content is conventional, but no precise source has so far been identified for the present text which remains unique in insular French.
