- Description
- Assessing tale order, various links, and the treatment of spurious works in William Thynne's 1532 edition of Chaucer's Works, Costomiris argues that Thynne depended on William Caxton's first edition of CT and on one or another d-class manuscript. Thynne probably had little to do with the later editions associated with his name.
