Johanna,
There are lots of medical manuscripts that have never been edited. “eVK” is the master list of Old and Middle English scientific and medical texts. It can be accessed either via the (U.S.) National Library of Medicine (a clumsy interface, in my opinion) or via the link on the Medieval Academy of America site, under “digital tools,” which will lead you to: http://cctr1.umkc.edu/search.
There’s a listserv for pre-modern medicine, where you could get lots of advice if you’re a novice in the field. Feel free to contact me if you want more info.

Dear Johanna,
I don't check the listserv often, so apologies for my late reply. UPenn has seven Middle English manuscripts, they are all described but perhaps one of them is unedited? Here's a list; click on any title, then click the "View Provenance and Subject" tab at the top of the image viewing window and scroll down to Indexed / Referenced in for details:

All seven mss have been digitized.
Let me know if any of these are unedited - I'm curious!

At this moment I am a research student at the University of Groningen. For a course I need to make an edition of a manuscript belonging to my field of expertise. In my case this is the English Middle Ages. However, after asking many of my professors I have not yet come across a satisfying manuscript. Perhaps you can help me out! I am looking for a medieval manuscript in the English vernacular (Old/Middle English) which had not yet been edited. I am aware this query is far-fetched, but I am willing to try anyway. With regard to the content of the manuscript, my preference goes out to something related to magic, charms, bestiary (cats are a pro), supernatural, romance ect. However, even if you might happen to know a manuscripts that only includes the content preferences, I am very eager to learn about it still. Of course, the same stands for the first preference: A unedited manuscript with any other content is also very welcome.
I hope some of you have suggestions and I am looking forward to your replies.
Best regards,
J. Feenstra
