- Description
- The GP sketch of the Manciple is interesting insofar as it reflects Chaucer's possible associations with the Inns of Court. The profession was a rare one in Chaucer's day, although there are similarities between reeves and manciples. The antagonism between the Manciple and the Cook in ManP is justified historically.
