Description:... Discusses what the manuscript evidence says in regard to the state of the text when the earliest scribes copied it. This book examines evidence for two basic modes of manuscript-production (by independent scribes and in scribal shops) and offers explanatory evidence that Chaucer released various copies of Canterbury Tales during his lifetime.
