- Coleman clarifies differences between "aurality" and "orality," assessing references to reading aloud and speaking aloud in Middle English texts, especially Chaucer's works, and citing depictions of such practice in manuscript illustrations, including two depictions from Chaucer: the Troilus frontispiece (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College 61) and an initial in Lansdowne 851 (British Library).
