- Description
- Preliminary collations of The Parson's Tale lines 10.75-551 indicate that de Worde's 1498 edition of the Tale derived from a high-quality manuscript rather than from William Caxton's second edition. Such editorial effort reflects high regard for The Parson's Tale in the fifteenth century and influenced later reception.
