Description
Contends that Cambridge, Pembroke College, MS 215 may be the manuscript referred to as "7574 Boethius’s Consolat.of Philosophy, translated by Chaucer, 'imperfect,' 2s 6d” in the 1770 sale catalogue of London bookseller Thomas Payne, since it is incomplete and its pre-nineteenth-century provenance is "unclear." Suggests that this reference may be to "a hitherto unrecorded copy" of Chaucer’s work.
