| | The Hengwrt manuscript differs from the Ellesmere because it lacks the Canon’ Yeoman’s Prologue and tale, part of the Parson’s Tale, and several of the tales’ prologues. | | | The structure of the Tales is indebted to Boccaccio’s Decameron. | | | These two manuscripts are found at the base of the tree which indicates that they are the closest manuscripts to Chaucer’s original. |

| | The Bodley manuscript is a deliberately constructed poetic anthology, omitting the prose tales of Melibee and The Parson's Tale, but continuing with eleven moral and religious poems by John Lydgate. | | | In the Hengwrt manuscript, probably the earliest attempt at organizing the fragments of the Tales, the scribe left room to fill in the missing conclusion, apparently with the hope that stray pages might turn up among the author's papers. | | | Some scribes pretended The Cook's Tale was complete as it stood, then went on to the next pilgrim, usually the Man of Law, in a few instances the Wife of Bath. |

| | Amongst other Chaucer manuscripts in the Library's collections are three exemplars of his Tretyse on the Astrolabe, all with Welsh associations: Peniarth 359, NLW 3049D and NLW 3567B; the last of which was in the possession of John Edwards of Chirk, Denbighshire, as early as 1551. | | | Vaughan's collection remained at Hengwrt until it was bequeathed in 1859 to W. Wynne of Peniarth, who sold the manuscripts in 1904 to Sir John Williams. | | | From the later Middle Ages onwards English manuscripts were read, owned, copied and much prized in Wales and by the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries it is common to find evidence of Welsh ownership of manuscripts in English. |

| | The manuscript, furthermore, neither presents itself as a sumptuous manuscript, like the famous Ellesmere, nor holds a place of importance in the date of its composition, like the equally famous Hengwrt manuscript. | | | They cite as evidence apparent ecclesiastical censorship in such items as the omission of the end of the Pardoner's Tale to avoid the vulgar quarrel, the omission of the Shipman's Tale and its link, and the depiction in the Reeve's Tale of the wife as the daughter of a swanherd rather than of a parson. | | | My recent analysis of the manuscript leads me to believe that some of what Manly and Rickert deduced is in error, errors which have a significant bearing on both the methods of production of this manuscript and on its evidence for the "publication" of Chaucer in the provinces. |

| | Kiernan showed how a Renaissance transcriber of the later manuscript tried and failed to collate the poetry from the tenth-century manuscript with the prose text of the twelfth-century manuscript, and then how a seventeenth-century print edition of the translation relegated the poetry to an appendix. | | | As indices, manuscripts can shed insight into the chronology and associative logic of an author's work: Ferrer offered the example of a passage in Ulysses that was inspired by ink that seeped forward in Joyce's manuscript book and was reproduced in reverse on a later page. | | | An electronic edition of the translation, Kiernan concluded, could clarify the relationships among these manuscript and print materials and call greater critical attention to the relatively neglected text and poetry of the tenth-century manuscript. |

| | An Ars Legendi for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: A Re-constructive Reading - by Dolores Warwick Frese |
| | In a daring, original study, Frese argues that the Ellesmere Manuscript of the Canterbury Tales represents Chaucer’s own final plans for the order and number of the Tales, traditionally thought to be unfinished at the time of the poet’s death. | | | Finally, she postulates how and why early exemplars of Chaucer’s poem became “disordered” in the arrangements represented in the early Hengwrt manuscript and suggests that Chaucer created the “Canon’s Yeoman’s Tale”—included in Ellesmere but not in Hengwrt—to comment on this disaster. | | | Frese contends that Chaucer devised a final plan for the order and number of the Canterbury Tales, that he inscribed this plan into the poetic text, and that this order and number are integral to the poem’s meaning. |

| | We hope that by bringing the manuscripts so close to the reader, in all their richness and all their confusion of readings and spellings, that we will bring the period, the language, and Chaucer himself far closer to the reader. | | | One way was to be guided by the highly irregular word division of the manuscripts, and to consider them adverbs when they are spelt as one word and nouns with prepositions when they are spelt as two words. | | | Once we have a clear sense of the sequence of copying of the manuscripts, we can begin to discriminate which manuscripts appear closest to the head of the tradition, and in turn use that information to filter Chaucer's own text from the mass of scribal variation. |
