The Index of Printed Middle English Prose made a substantial contribution on its appearance thirty-five years ago. It brought together, for the first time, a listing of the known Middle English canon. The volume was instrumental in stimulating further research, primarily through The Index of Middle English Prose, a series describing the contents of library collections and constantly unearthing items heretofore unnoticed, but through editions of previously unedited items as well. The essay seeks to respond to this scholarly explosion. It offers a partial checklist of items published since the original Index, as well as filling in some gaps in the original coverage.
