Original edition published by William Thynne.
"Exclusive of The Romaunt of the rose, part of which is by Chaucer, and Surigon's Latin epitaph, the folio includes 40 pieces. Of these 18 are by Chaucer; 8 (apparently) by Lydgate; 2 by Hoccleve; 1 apiece by Henryson, Ros, Usk, Gower, Clanvowe, and Scogan (6 in all); and 6 are anonymous. To these we may add 1 more piece by Chaucer, viz his Balade on gentilesse, introduced into the midst of the piece by Scogan ... If we reckon by pages, the genuine works occupy less than three-fourths of the volume."--Introd.
"One thousand copies of this facsimile have been printed; of which this is number 346."
