Description
Summarizes and extends recent scholarship on Guildhall scribe Richard Osbarn, and assesses his work, focusing on two TC manuscripts to which he contributed: San Marino, Huntington Library, MS HM 114, and London, British Library, MS Harley 3943. Examines paratextual aspects of the two--particularly their marginal glosses--and what they may imply about Osbarn’s exemplar(s) and the text of TC.
