Description
Gòˆrlach surveys a selection of textual cruxes (Old English to Modern) that reflect the importance of linguistic evidence in editorial decisions, including two from Chaucer ("armee," GP 1.60; "Aueryll," GP 1.1) and one "quasi-Chaucerian" example (from "Mak & Morris"). Also refers to RvT in surmising whether "Kingis Quair" was dialectically "improved" by a Scots scribe.
