- Description
- Describes how the marginal note "Stokes" in the Hengwrt manuscript of CT may have been erased in a conservation project in 1956, arguing that attention must be given to facsimiles and descriptions as well as to manuscripts. Explores the implications of the note for the provenance of the manuscript and announces the Hengwrt Project, which will compile and analyze the entire legacy of Hengwrt.
