The Harley Lyrics is the usual name for a collection of lyrics in Middle English, Anglo Norman (Middle French), and Latin found in Harley MS 2253, a manuscript dated ca. 1340 in the British Library's Harleian Collection. The lyrics contain "both religious and secular material, in prose and verse and in a wide variety of genres."[1] The manuscript is written in three recognisable hands: scribe A, scribe B or the Ludlow scribe, and scribe C.[2]
