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.

This Anglo-Norman prose list of heraldic signs displayed on kings’ arms demonstrates the interest by the scribe or patron in collecting information on diverse subjects. The manuscript contents evince someone’s curiosity about, or pedagogical interest in, geography and distant places, a curiosity borne perhaps of actual travel. It fits, therefore, with such items as Pilgrimages in the Holy Land and Pardons of Acre (arts. 38, 39) and the two texts that surround it: The Land of the Saracens and Letter for Pilgrims on the Relics at Oviedo (arts. 95, 97). For commentary on this text, see Corrie 2003, pp. 66–67.
[Fol. 131r. Compare ANL 390 (compare 391, 391.1). Scribe: B (Ludlow scribe). Quire: 14. Layout: No columns, written as a list in prose, items marked with paraphs. Editions: None. Other MSS: None. Translations: None.]
