Adam Pinkhurst, Geoffrey Chaucer, and the Hengwrt Manuscript of the Canterbury Tales
- Published
- ChauR 44 (2010): 351-67.
- Description
- A petition in the hand of Pinkhurst requesting that a permanent deputy be appointed to relieve Chaucer of his duties as controller of the wool custom establishes their connection in 1385. However, codicological evidence suggests that the poet "was no longer available for consultation" on the production of Hengwrt even as it provides further proof of collaborative scribal practice in late medieval London.
