Title
Analogues in Cheriton to the Pardoner and His Sermon.

Published
Journal of English and Germanic Philology (1954): 383-88.

Description
Identifies parallels between various aspects of PardPT and Master Odo of Cheriton's sermons, and includes passage on pardoners from Cheriton's "Fables." Suggests that these intertextualities, both general and specific, indicate that it is "possible, but not likely" that Chaucer knew "Cheriton's work at first hand."
