- Review
- Two selections from two manuscripts of the "Confessio Amantis"--Princeton, Princeton University Library, MS Garrett 136, and Washington, D.C., Folger Shakespeare Library, MS V.b.29--are used to illustrate, respectively, the difference between an anglicana hand of ca. 1400 and a secretary hand, ca. 1450. Page 10 contains a transcription of the texts, discussion of the hands, and--very briefly--of the manuscripts; page 11 plates show the passages in situ. [RFY. Copyright.
