- Description
-
- Written in 'anglicana' on paper. There are several different
foliations, including, in early portions, bits of an early modern
one. The text of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is complete, but in a
different order than that encountered in most other manuscripts.
The text of John Lydgate's poems includes 'The churl and the bird'
and 'The sege of Thebes'. There is reasonably extensive evidence
for production and early ownership in the mid-south and near
southwest. Donated to Christ Church Library by John Verney in 1769,
as revealed by a note entered by Edward Smallwell.
