Canterbury Tales A Facsimile and Transcription of the Hengwrt Manuscript With Variants from the Ellesmere Manuscript

This facsimile edition is a complete reproduction of the most reliable of the medieval manuscripts of The Canterbury Tales-the Hengwrt Manuscript (or Peniarth 392 D), now in the National Library of Wales, in Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire. Because it is to serve as the basic text of the Tales for the projected multivolume Variorum Edition of Chaucer's complete works, much deliberation was given to the choice of the Hengwrt Manuscript. Scribed in the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century, it is one of the earliest extant manuscripts of the Tales.Chaucer, Geoffrey is the author of 'Canterbury Tales A Facsimile and Transcription of the Hengwrt Manuscript With Variants from the Ellesmere Manuscript' with ISBN 9780806114163 and ISBN 0806114169.
