Description
Interprets four manuscript versions of ClT (here retitled "The Legend of the Litel Clergeon and the Jews") that occur outside the context of CT, "excise" Chaucer's authorship, and adjust their temporalities, addressing "their own distinct identities, through scribal marginalia, nota marks, rubrication, jottings, and distinctive vocabulary choices." Treats British Library, MSS Harley 1704, Harley 2251, and Harley 2382; and Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson C.86.
