Description
Examines the unique witness to the text of "Kingis Quair" (Bodleian MS Arch. Selden B.24), assessing what the two scribal practices of the manuscript indicate about the composition, reception, and meaning of the poem. Includes discussion of the codicological and thematic relations "Kingis Quair" and Chaucer's works that appear in the same manuscript.
