Wynkyn de Worde's Manuscript Source for the Canterbury Tales : Evidence from the Glosses
- Published
- Chaucer Review 41 (2007): 325-59.
- Description
- The glosses to Mel and ParsT in Wynkyn de Worde's CT (1498, STC 5085) are closely related to those in Trinity College, Cambridge, MS R.3.15, suggesting that they shared a common exemplar, W. That hypothetical exemplar clarifies aspects of the history of the text at the beginning of the fifteenth century, almost a century before the production of de Worde's version.
