- Description
- Examines the differences between Chaucer's poverty prologue to MLT and its source, Innocent III's "De miseria condicionis humane," attributing these differences to the influence of Renaud de Louen's "Livre de Mellibee et Prudence," which Chaucer translated closely as his Mel. MLP combines elements of Innocent's treatise and Chaucer's own Mel.
