Rotheley, the De Vere Circle, and the Ellesmere Chaucer
- Published
- Huntington Library Quarterly 58 (1996): 11-35.
- Description
- Although Ellesmere ownership in the fifteenth century cannot be proved, a preponderance of evidence indicates association with Bury St. Edmunds and a family circle that included the Pastons, Drurys, and De Veres, suggesting a context within which the manuscript was used.
- Particularly important is the largest entry on the flyleaves, Rotheley's poem honoring the De Veres ("Index" 1087), a transcription of which follows in an appendix.
