Description
Describes the role of Stephan Batman (c. 1542–84) in producing Cambridge, Trinity College, MS R.3.15 (which includes CT), observes how the manuscript aligns with contemporaneous printed editions of Chaucer by Thynne and Stow, and explores how Batman's interventions in the manuscript's texts reflect early modern interests and concerns.
