- Description
- Summarizes the manuscript information pertinent to The Cook's Tale and The Squire's Tale, focusing on scribal confrontations with their fragmentary state, including continuations and, especially, gaps and notes. Evidence suggests that the notes and gaps may have been in Chaucer's original when he left the two Tales unfinished and put them into circulation as part of an incomplete CT.
