This book was released on 1998 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a new edition of the Middle English text that survives in more manuscripts than almost any other. Rather, this work classifies and groups the manuscripts and early printed editions, and comments on the relationships that developed among them from the late 14th to and sometimes beyond the 15th century. Covers the common versions, the extended version, the abbreviated version, peculiar texts and versions, and early printed editions. The detailed comparisons require a fairly high degree of fluency in Middle English. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
