    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Traces the iconographical motif of &quot;Maria Misericordia&quot; as it developed from its early roots into the satire of friars found in SumP. Originally found in treatise by Caesarius of Heisterbach, the motif was adapted by Dominican and Franciscan friars and generalized in the &quot;burgeoning institution of the lay confraternities.&quot; In using the motif, Chaucer capitalized on its associations with mercy, justice, anger, and penance, enriching thematically his satire of both the Friar and the Summoner.]]></dcterms:description>

This arrangement, Cox suggests, best accommodates available manuscript evidence and scribal practice, Chaucer&#039;s reassignment of the ShT from Wife of Bath to Shipman, thematic interaction between MLT and WBPT, and the drama of the CT, especially considering the characterization of the Wife of Bath.]]></dcterms:description>
