- Review
- Gillhammer examines manuscripts in which "leaves containing a specific text are incorporated into a different manuscript than the one for which they were originally intended, thus being put to use in a new manuscript without rewriting or palimpsesting." Oxford, Trinity College MS 29, a paper MS compiled and written by a single scribe ca. 1482, borrows from print and MS sources to compose a history of the world from the creation to Hannibal. It is in prose, except for fols. 189r-192v, which contain "Confessio Amantis" Pro. ll. 567-1088, "Nebuchadnezzar's Dream," in verse. [RFY. Copyright. John Gower Society eJGN 41.2.]
