William Thynne and His 1432 Edition of Chaucer

Published
Dissertation Abstracts International 36 (1976): 5311A.

Description
Two mss and a copy of Caxton's edition contain marks indicating that they provided printer's copy for Thynne's edition. The readings which differ from the printer's copy indicate that Thynne also collated with other mss. Because of his access to mss no longer extant, Thynne's readings should be considered carefully.
