The book was first published in 1921. A Middle English Vocabulary was not published until 1922, but after publication some copies were bound with 1st impressions of Sisam’s book. They were intended to be published together, but Tolkien’s contribution was delayed. Fourteenth Century Verse & Prose was also issued separately without Tolkien's glossary – this is the version with the vocabulary.

Minor scribbling in pencil on a few pages. Vocabulary (Tolkien's bit) is pristine.
