- Description
- Facing-page edition and translation of Nicholas of Lynn's "Kalendarium," a source for Astr (as Chaucer tells us) and for the astronomical observations in three passages of CT (MLP, NPT, and ParsP). Based on Bodleian Library MS Laud Miscellaneous 662, the text is lightly emended, with a full set of the charts, illustrations, and canons that accompany it. Eisner's Introduction identifies Nicholas and his influence on Chaucer, explains the medieval kalendarium and its uses, and describes the extant manuscripts and editorial principles that underlie the volume.
