Title
Pandarus's 'Vertue of Corones Tweyne'

Published
Chaucer Review 21 (1986): 226-33.

Description
The crux may be explained by reference to Canticles 3:11 and the medieval commentators (e.g., William Durandus in his "Rationale divinorum officiorum"). The first crown is Criseyde's virtue; the second is the pity that Pandarus asks her to show Troilus.

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
