- Description
- Explores parallels between several medieval analogues to Chaucer's use of the phrase "Latyn corrupt" in his description of Constance's language in MLT 2.519--the alliterative "Morte Arthure," the "Etymologiae" of Isidore of Seville (possibly, the ultimate source), John Gower's "Confessio Amantis," Vincent of Beauvais's "Speculum Doctrinale," and "Fouke Fitz Warin."
