Description
Assesses the value of John Shirley's attribution of Adam Scriveyn to Chaucer in the only manuscript where it appears, arguing on the grounds of Shirley's “other statements about Chaucer" that the attribution is reliable and, on more general external evidence, that Shirley "might have known scribes who had worked for Chaucer," including Adam Pinkhurst.
