Richard Pynson's 1526 Edition of 'The Parliament of Fowls'
- Published
- Poetica (Tokyo) 49 (1998): 49-62.
- Description
- Pynson's (1526?) edition of PF was the first printed version of the poem to establish the text from multiple sources.
- The copy text seems to have been of the "beta" sub-group B manuscripts, closest to Bodleian Library MS Bodley 638, and perhaps corrected against a manuscript that underlies the later (1530) edition supervised by Robert Copland for Wynken de Worde.
