Abstract
Centraal in dit artikel staat een groep Engelse devotionele ‘meerteksthandschriften’
 die beschouwd kunnen worden als op zichzelf staande verzamelingen. Vooraleer in
 te gaan op deze devotionele bloemlezingen, wordt aandacht geschonken aan de beperkingen
 die de onderzoeker van middeleeuwse handschriften in institutionele collecties
 ondervindt, dit in tegenstelling tot de vermeende liberale omgang met boeken
 in de middeleeuwen. Als alternatief voor zulk een vrije omgang met boeken,
 wordt beargumenteerd dat ook in de middeleeuwen toegang tot collecties en boeken
 vaak voorbehouden was aan een selecte groep van mensen die allen behoorden
 tot een concreet sociaal netwerk. Vervolgens worden inhoud en uiterlijke kenmerken
 van deze devotionele bloemlezingen verder onder de loep genomen. De keuze van
 en omgang met teksten in twee monumentale verzamelingen, Bodleian Library, Eng
 Poet A.1 (‘Vernon’) en British Library Additional 22283 (‘Simeon’), wordt verbonden
 met het ruimere corpus. Een laatste casestudy, Oxford, Bodleian Library, ms Bodley
 789, werpt licht op de structuur van de besproken bloemlezingen. Het artikel besluit
 met een voorzichtige schets van de context waarin devotionele verzamelingen werden
 vervaardigd en het proces dat aan hun productie ten grondslag lag.
 
 Central to this article is a group of English devotional miscellanies which can be considered as separate collections. Before going into these devotional anthologies, attention is given to the limitations faced by the researcher of medieval manuscripts in institutional collections, in contrast to the supposed liberal intercourse with books in the Middle Ages. As an alternative to such free intercourse with books, it is argued that in the Middle Ages access often reserved access to collections and books to select groups of people who belonged to a excusive social networks. Next, content and appearance of this devotional anthologies are further examined. The selection and handling of texts in two historic collections, Bodleian Library, Eng Poet A.1 (Vernon) and British Library Additional 22283 (Simeon), is connected to the larger corpus. A recent case study, Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 789, sheds light on the structure of the discussed anthologies. The article concludes with a tentative outline of the context in which devotional sets were manufactured and the process that formed the basis of their production.
