* Chaucer (Geoffrey, c. 1343-1400).

Though evidently using a printed or manuscript copy of Chaucer’s Works it is not clear that the layout, wording or spellings match up with any specific printed edition. John Stow’s name appears more than once in the text, indicating that the text followed does not predate his known involvement. The first Stow edition of the Chaucer’s Works appeared in 1561, but without mention of his name. However, the text of this manuscript follows this edition much more closely than the first Thomas Speight edition of 1598, with which Stow was also closely involved.
