"Moedes or Prolaciouns" in Chaucer's "Boece."

Description: Suggests that the insertion of "prolaciouns" in Bo 2.pr.1 was intended as a technical clarification of the preceding "moedes," potentially misleading to English readers who could read it as either "mood" or "mode." The insertion may evince the musical sophistication of Chaucer or, perhaps, of the English author of a translation pony Chaucer may have used.
