- Description
- Study of the Cardigan MS (CT and two poems by Lydgate) by the method of Gruijs reveals that Manly and Rickert were wrong in assuming that the codex was produced under close supervision in a shop. Instead, "Scribe A" standardized its language. Apparently, editors and scribes, rather than Chaucer, determined order and titles of CT.
