- Description
- Considers the appearance of the "mysterious inscription 'Ch'" beside several poems in MS Codex 902 in the University of Pennsylvania Libraries collection. Scholars have assumed that the "Ch" stands for Chaucer, but Strakhov argues that the poems are organized not by author, but by "the formal characteristics of French lyric," thus challenging earlier notions about the manuscript taxonomy.
