| dc.description.abstract | No title in text. Established authority title for this work of Chaucer employed File 1: the text of Canterbury tales. Note that the last two lines of the original work are missing in the electronic text ("Heere is ended the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury, compiled by Geffrey Chaucer, of whos soule Jhesu Crist have mercy. Amen."). Last twelve lines of electronic text unnecessary duplication of previous lines. File 2: explains the number codes at the beginning of each line of the text of the first file and contains first and last lines of each textual subdivision (i.e. between the different tales, etc.) |
