- Description
- Examines characteristic features of the two similar scribal hands of CT manuscript En1, correcting errors and emphases in Manly and Rickert's analysis (1940). The scribes appear initially to have divided their labors before Scribe 2 completed and corrected Scribe 1's portion as well as his own. The dialect is from near Colchester. The date is "the mid-to-late second quarter of the fifteenth century."
