- Description
- Though it has been universally assumed that de Worde's CT of 1498 merely followed the text of Caxton's second edition (c. 1484), recent work for the "Variorum" reveals important differences between the two. Instead, de Worde seems to have used an independent ms descended from Hengwrt for part of PrT and all of Th, Mel, and MkT.
