Description
Defines the assumptions underlying J. Burke Severs's analysis of the relation of ClT to Petrarch's version of the material and clarifies how Farrell's own assumptions differ from those in his analysis for Sources and Analogues II. Severs was more confident in his assumptions and less sensitive to the evidence of the glosses and to textual mouvance.
