All right, I dutifully went and read the first two chapters of the Amherst manuscript before deciding that Middle English still gives me as much a pain as Chaucer ever did, viz.:

"THere es Avisioun. Shewed Be the goodenes of god to Ade=/uoute Woman. and hir Name es Julyan that is recluse atte/ Norwyche and 3itt. ys oun lyfe."

I'm sufficiently phenomenally lazy that I'm thinking: It might be a whole bunch easier just to ask our leading English expert, Brunnen-G, what the hazelnut vision actually MEANT? :-)
