Hunting the Corpus "Troilus": Illuminating Textura.

Description: Argues from "codicological and paleographical evidence" that the copy of TC found in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 61, was commissioned by a "high-level clerical, Lancastrian patron." Examines the "ornate textura" ("textualis") script ofth e work, the dog-heads within letter forms (perhaps rebuses), the frontispiece illumination, and other commonalities that link the manuscript with "fine liturgical and religious manuscripts of the first half of the fifteenth century" produced in a network or networks of scribes, artists, and patrons.
