- Description
- Comments on brief selections from a translation of PardT as evidence that Chaucer accepts the validity of the True Cross even though he rejects the Pardoner's "fraudulent" practice. Discusses how John Calvin "took the matter several steps further" and asserts that there is no "credible evidence" that Saint Helena ever found the Cross.
