- Description
- In CYT, Chaucer's comic use of technical terms related to alchemy or to alchemists (e.g., "craft," "disciplyne," "emprise," "experience," "labour," "loore," "maistrie," "multiplicatioun," "philosophie," "science," "travaille," "wirkyng," "philosophre," "alkamystre") reveals the falsehood and follies naturally inherent in the Canon and his "craft."
