The "Prioress's Tale" and "Granella" of "Paradiso."
- Published
- Mediaeval Studies 24 (1962): 388-91.
- Description
- Assesses parallels between the "greyn" of PrT 7.662 and the three grains of legend that Seth laid upon the tongue of Adam when the latter was buried; suggests that the ambiguities of Chaucer's presentation indicate his artistic purpose.
