- Description
- Studies the treatment of manuscripts in the MED, especially those containing Chaucer's works. Detects potential for confusion in the use of the double-dating system (manuscript and composition dates, not always consistently cited), and in the combined use of manuscript sources and modern editions. Chaucer's works are treated differently from other authors, following the commonplace that Chaucer was crucial for the development of English.
