Paleography and Scribes of Shared Training
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 8 (1986): 107-44.
- Description
- New manuscript data reaffirm Ramsey's earlier argument that different scribes copied the Hengwrt and Ellesmere MSS of CT; M. L. Samuels is wrong in arguing that a single scribe copied these manuscripts and MS Corpus Christi 198. Handwriting alone is not a reliable criterion for distinguishing among scribal hands: different scribes could imitate each others's hand, as in MS Glasgow Hunterian U.1.1., though scribal "schools" may be distinguished.
