New Site Announcement: Over the past several years, the METS team has been building a new website and new digital edition, in collaboration with Cast Iron Coding. This next phase of METS' editions includes improved functionality and accessibility, an increased focus on transparency, and conformity to best practices for open access and digital editions, including TEI markup. We are currently in a "soft launch" phase in which we will monitor the new site for bugs and errors. We encourage you to visit our new site at https://metseditions.org, and we welcome feedback here: https://tinyurl.com/bdmfv282
We will continue to publish all new editions in print and online, but our new online editions will include TEI/XML markup and other features. Over the next two years, we will be working on updating our legacy volumes to conform to our new standards.
Our current site will be available for use until mid-December 2024. After that point, users will be redirected to the new site. We encourage you to update bookmarks and syllabuses over the next few months. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at robbins@ur.rochester.edu.

Art. 39, Les pardouns de Acres: Introduction
ABBREVIATIONS: AND: Anglo-Norman Dictionary; ANL: Anglo-Norman Literature: A Guide to Texts and Manuscripts (R. Dean and Boulton); BL: British Library (London); Bodl.: Bodleian Library (Oxford); CCC: Corpus Christi College (Cambridge); CUL: Cambridge University Library (Cambridge); IMEV: The Index of Middle English Verse (Brown and Robbins); IMEV Suppl.: Supplement to the Index of Middle English Verse (Robbins and Cutler); MED: Middle English Dictionary; MWME: A Manual of the Writings in Middle English, 1050–1500 (Severs et al.); NIMEV: A New Index of Middle English Verse (Boffey and Edwards); NLS: National Library of Scotland (Edinburgh).
In 1040 during the First Crusade, Acre was the chief port in the Holy Land for crusaders. Articles 38 and 39 indicate how it remained an entry point for pilgrims. Dated 1258–63, The Pardons contains a unique listing of the shrines and holy houses (churches, hospitals, monasteries, etc.) that a pilgrim to Acre should plan to visit — and perhaps lodge at — during a stay there. The document specifies the indulgence a pilgrim will obtain upon visiting each sanctuary. In some cases, it is stated that an extended stay will bring added benefit. This text is closely allied with the preceding pilgrimage text (art. 38). For a helpful map of medieval Acre that pinpoints these sites, see Pringle 2009, 4:16–17.
[Fol. 70rb–v. ANL 337. Scribe: B (Ludlow scribe). Quire: 8. Layout: Prose in double columns, with final portion on fol. 70v written without columns. Edition: Michelant and Raynaud, pp. xxx–xxxi, 235–36 (no. 12). Other MSS: None. Translations: Pringle 2009, 4:22; Pringle 2012, pp. 15–17, 235–36.]
