Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Curtesye Though no excuse can be needed for including in our Extra Series a reprint of a unique Caxton on a most interesting subject, yet this Book of Curtesye from Hill´s Ms. was at first intended for our original series, I having forgotten lately that Caxton had written to ´lytyl Iohn,´ though some months back I had entered the old printer´s book for my second collection of Manners and Meals tracts for the Society. After the copy of Hill - which Mr W. W. King kindly made for his fellow-members - had gone to press, Mr Hazlitt reminded me of the Caxton, and its first and last lines in Mr Blades´s admirable book showed that Hill´s text was the same as the printed one. I accordingly went to Cambridge to copy it, and there, before tea, Mr Skeat showed me the copy of The Vision of Piers Plowman which the Provost and Fellows of Oriel had been good enough to lend him for his edition of ´Text B.´ Having enjoyed the vellum Vision, I turned to the paper leaves at its end, and what should they contain but an earlier and better version of the Caxton that I had just copied part of?
