Title
Chaucer's Parson's Tale and the "Moralium Dogma Philosophorum."

Published
Traditio 16 (1960): 255-74.

Description
Offers in parallel columns passages from ParsT, the "Moralium Dogma Philosophorum," and the French translation of the Latin text to argue that the "Moralium" is the ultimate source of portions of ParsT (especially the "Remedia" of the vices), even though the French text may be a more immediate source. Focuses on organizational similarities, verbal echoes, and phrasing.
