Description
Assesses Bo and its fifteenth-century reception in light of the "well-defined and distinctive" tradition of "academic translation," i.e., as a reflection of the late-medieval interest in semiotics and textual explication. Although Chaucer never applied the "finishing touches" to the work, Bo succeeds "in meeting the highest standards of academic translation."
