- Description
- The compiler-editor-scribe of the prose history in Trinity College, Oxford MS D 29 used ParsT and Mel as a source in six passages. The same scribe included Mel and MkT in Huntington MS HM 144. Harris describes the scribal adjustments of Chaucer's texts in these two late-fifteenth-century manuscripts, identifying them as efforts at explanation or clarification. They are based on different copy texts.
