- Review
- In the Latin summary of Gower's three works – appended to the CA – Gower speaks of the obligation he feels to pass on the knowledge he has received as a gift from God. Cook suggests that Gower may be indebted here to the beginning of Dante's De Monarchia, where the same language of laboring for posterity with one's God-given talents is used. [CvD]
