Manuscript name and Mosser link

London, British Library Lansdowne MS 851. Mosser: La.

Original construction

32 quires of 8: 256 folios.

Missing folios

The last leaf of quire 30 (folio 239), and the last folio of the last quire present as a stub (folio 256)

Absent text corresponding to the missing folios

PA 398-437 (folio 239).

Notes

Mosse includes in the manuscript foliation, as folio 1, the leaf containing John Bale’s Latin account of “Galfridus Chaucer” and his works from his Scriptorum illustrium maioris Brytannie (1557-1559). As this is not part of the original manuscript, our foliation excludes this leaf, thus beginning CT on 1r, the first leaf of the first quire, not 2r, as Mosser does.
