		The Dunhuang manuscripts are housed in four major institutions: the National Library of China, the British Library, the National Library in France, and the Institute of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg, Russia.
		Because the authors of many of the manuscripts were common citizens rather than the literary elite, their writings provide a rare window into everyday life at the time, and scholars value the collection for this reason in particular.
		The Ellesmere Manuscript is one of the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Canterbury Tales.

	The Ellesmere Chaucer
		The original manuscript was still in the possession of the Earl of Ellesmere when the facsimile edition was produced, in 1911, by the Manchester University Press.
		This means that nearly all the surviving manuscripts were written between 1400 and the time of Caxton's printing press less than a century later, after which the expense and tedium of hand-copying no longer seemed worthwhile.
		But the main glory of the manuscript is the lavish illumination and illustration, in which the Ellesmere is easily unrivaled: on no less than seventy-one pages large foliated initials are joined to "demi-vinet" borders, in gold and other colors, framing the text on three sides.

		The Ellesmere Manuscript (which is in the Huntington Library in San Marino, California) is one of the two earliest surviving manuscripts of the Canterbury Tales, the other is the Hengwrt Manuscript (or Peniarth 392 D, now in the National Library of Wales, in Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire).
		The two manuscripts are believed to have been written by the same scribe, and there is much disgreement about which has priority.

		Manly and Rickert, 1:149, have repeated A. Egerton’s statement in the introduction to the facsimile, that the manuscript was brought from Ashridge to London in 1802 for rebinding.
		The manuscript was removed from its previous binding in or before 1911, to permit photography page by page in flat condition for the facsimile; the rebinding after photography was evidently the occasion for the work of Riviere and Son.

		In a further discussion of the spellings of the scribe of the Hengwrt and Ellesmere manuscripts, Samuels listed "eleven variational criteria" for thirteen texts which he classified as Types II and III, that is to say representing respectively London English up to about 1380 and from about 1380 to 1420.

		With its illuminations of the pilgrims, the Ellesmere is a prime example of what Jay David Bolter calls “medieval multimedia” (86); that is, the text, its writing style, the rubrics, and the illuminations are all synthesized into one coherent whole.
		Digitalized images, such as Luminarium's reproduction of parts of the Ellesmere, allow students to view the Wife of Bath on its original page and also to “zoom” in to enlarge the picture so that it takes up the entire monitor screen for close examination.

	Spero News: Mystery scribe of Canterbury Tales identified
		Scholars have long accepted that these two manuscripts were written by the same hand, but we have not until now had any information about who this scribe was or where he came from, where he lived and worked.
		The two manuscripts copied by Adam referred to in Chaucer's short poem may also be identified: a copy of Chaucer's prose translation, Boece, has recently been tentatively identified as written by the same scribe as Hengwrt and Ellesmere.
		These may be the manuscripts that Chaucer says this scribe was careless in copying, causing him to take so much time and trouble to correct.

	The Storie of Asneth: Introduction
		In his study of the Findern manuscript, another great fifteenth-century anthology laden with Chauceriana, Rossell Hope Robbins demonstrated that that work was not simply the possession of a great fifteenth-century woman's household but that it served apparently as a book for several households which were linked through, among other things, literary interests.
		I do not know whether the Anne Shirley of the Findern manuscript (Warwickshire) is kin to the Margaret and John Shirley of the Asneth manuscript (South Derbyshire), [17] but certainly the circumstances of the two manuscripts share in common a female propriety that cherishes books and adds appropriate materials to them.
		If the twelfth-century manuscript were already bound with the astrolabe materials as it is in Corpus Christi 424, then it might have been accessible to the Shirley family, who specialized in Chaucer and Chauceriana.
