- Description
- Clermont-Ferrand edits d'Angoulême's copy of CT, providing continuous lineation (15,080 lines), sidebar glossing, and bottom-of-page explanatory notes. The introduction (pp. vii-xxxv) comments on editing a "bad" copy of CT, various exemplars of the fifteenth-century manuscript known as Paris fonds anglais 39, its additions and deletions, John Duxworth as scribe, and d'Angoulême as patron, explaining the importance of the manuscript to the "variorum" tradition of editing CT.
