- Description
- Offers "a general introduction to manuscript studies for readers whose particular interests lie in medieval literature," commenting on material concerns, paleography, decoration and illustration, codicology, and principles of manuscript description, along with a glossary of terms, suggestions for further reading, and eleven case studies of individual manuscripts from Bede to the N-Town Plays. Chaucer is a recurrent concern, from an opening consideration of Adam and its implications to two case studies: one of the Ellesmere manuscript of the CT; the other of Huntington Library, MS HM 114, which includes TC, among other texts.
