Description
Surveys extant manuscripts of CT, including collections that include standalone tales. Discusses the difference in manuscript presentation and frequency of the tales, arguing that earlier manuscript production and circulation often privileged those tales, which modern editors do not. Includes sections on scribes and readers and owners of manuscripts.
