- Review
- Da Rold's concern is to describe the training culture that produced scribal techniques, and to make a case for the use of scribal idiosyncrasies, or "quirks," as helpful in identifying hands, manuscript to manuscript. Her brief mention of Trinity College MS R.3.2, "Confessio Amantis," focuses on Hoccleve's slight contribution "in mixed script" (728). [RFY. Copyright. John Gower Society. eJGN 44.1]
