According to S. J. Ogilvie-Thomson's volume of The Index of Middle English Prose (IMEP) on the Bodleian Library's Laudian collection, the text of Decem mandata appears in two other manuscripts in addition to MS Laud Misc. 656: According to Hanna, the multiple scribes of Westminster School MS 3 employ an East Midlands dialect, leading him to conclude that they were part of "that well-documented migration from the central East Midlands to London. [...]considering that Proverbia Salomonis reflects the same style and rhetorical structure as the other texts, it seems likely to have been intended as part of the original sequence. [...]the content of the texts seems relatively orthodox, though there are some subtle inferences that might suggest a certain reformist proclivity.28 It is significant to note, for instance, that there are no references to any of the sacraments, saints, or clerical orders; rather, there is a focus solely on scripture and the common people.
