Linguistic Features of the Hammond Scribe

- PoeticaT 51 : 1-10, 1999.
- Description
- Similarities of orthography and copying habits indicate that the Hammond scribe copied the following manuscripts: BL Additional 34360, BL Harley 2251, Trinity College Cambridge R.14.52, and Royal College of Physicians 113 [Py]. This scribe's spelling system is an idiosyncratic combination of Chancery forms and his own Kentish idiolect, evidence of the process of standardization.
