- Description
- Observes that scribes often used more than one exemplar. In the case of at least one CT manuscript (Oxford, Corpus Christi College, MS 198), the scribe's addition of glosses from an exemplar apparently received late in the copying process resulted in textual and visual inconsistencies. Two other CT manuscripts (British Library, MS Additional 35286, and Bodleian, MSS Rawlinson poet. 141) evince scribal use of additional exemplars when the originals did not serve as good design templates.
