- Description
- The study of the relationship of text to picture in medieval manuscripts is worthwhile, but seldom performed for Middle English texts, especially Chaucer, except for the "Troilus" frontispiece in Corpus Christi College Cambridge MS 61. It is important, both for what it tells us, enigmatically, of Chaucer's audience and for its reflection of the content of TC.
