Chaucer and Friends: The Audience for the Treatise on the Astrolabe
- Published
- ChauR 41 (2007): 439-44.
- Description
- Given its resonance with references to duties of friendship that preface many astrolabe treatises, Chaucer's reference to his young son Lewis as his "frend" may accede to the wishes of adult friends who also wished for "a companionable guide to astronomy."
