Description
Dane argues on the basis of two copies of Thynne's edition that one cannot properly speak of them as "corrected" or "uncorrected."
Parts of the books are corrected or uncorrected, but the distribution of variants between the two copies indicates that the notion of correctness or uncorrectness does not apply to the book as a whole.
