Title
Speght's Chaucer and MS. GG.4.27.

Published
Studies in Bibliography 21 (1968): 225-35.

Description
Shows that the first printed version of ABC (in Thomas Speght's 1602 edition of Chaucer's works) is essentially a copy of the version found in Cambridge University Library MS Gg.4.27. Also considers Speght's treatment of his source, the "significance of the derivation" for the provenance of the manuscript, and the likelihood that Chaucer wrote ABC for Blanche, Duchess of Lancaster.
