- Description
- Medieval English and Latin dictionaries such as the "Medulla gramatice" can often be of great value in textual criticism,offering solutions to several Chaucerian cruces: "stot" (CT III, 1630) "whore"; "nakers" (CT I, 2511) "horns"; "astromye" (CT I, 3451, 3457) "astronomy" (a deliberately old-fashioned form).
