message: I've always wondered if the Nun's Priest's Tale was the origin of the phrase, or if it already existed and Chaucer was referring to it. Anyone know? Daibhid C 20:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: In the Composition section there were unsupported claims about Chaucer's primary sources that must have citation and comment to back them in an encyclopaedic article. They may exist, I'm not a Chaucerian scholar, but if they do they should be quoted and interpreted. As of now I have deleted the claim about Old French sources and referred people back to the Chanticleer and the fox article. I have also asked for citations to back the claim that there are 'echoes of several of Aesop's fables'. Which are they, and in what way are they 'echoed'? 
In fact that whole section looks like speculation and original research. There is no proper discussion of the theory that a murder six years after the suggested date of composition is alluded to, merely citation of a 1924 article that may never have been accepted by the author's peers. There are no sources given at all of the discussion concerning what genre Chaucer's tale belongs to or how he may be subverting it. Unless this whole section is properly referenced within a reasonable time, I suggest it is deleted. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 09:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't an illustration of some later tale of Chanticleer and the Fox be better as a top image? With a caption explaining that it draws on the tradition of this tale. Cicero seems utterly tangential, not to mention that it isn't a very engaging image in and of itself. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be an explanation of what a nun's priest is? 100.34.46.136 (talk) 14:18, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No, since the teller does not appear in his tale. There's an explanation at List of The Canterbury Tales characters. Sweetpool50 (talk) 15:10, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a very clear one. Presumably some sort of chaplain to the nuns at the priory. If sourced this could be added. Johnbod (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

message: At least in scholarship on the Poetria nova, Young is often cited as an example of its influence in popular culture.Young, Karl. “Chaucer and Geoffrey of Vinsauf.” Modern Philology 41, no. 3 (1944): 172–82. http://www.jstor.org/stable/434349. Young says that the lament for Chanticleer (B. 4537-4) is a condensed reference to Geoffrey's example of apostrophe, the lament for King Richard (Faral  ll. 368-430). Young is still cited in Chaucerian scholarship to this day.This is cited on page 80 of David K. Coley. “‘Withyn a Temple Ymad of Glas’: Glazing, Glossing, and Patronage in Chaucer’s House of Fame.” The Chaucer Review 45, no. 1 (2010): 59–84. https://doi.org/10.5325/chaucerrev.45.1.0059.; 
Camargo, Martin. "Chaucer and the Oxford Renaissance of Anglo-Latin Rhetoric." Studies in the Age of Chaucer 34 (2012): 173-207. https://doi.org/10.1353/sac.2012.0037.
And Cowdery, Taylor. Matter and Making in Early English Poetry: Literary Production from Chaucer to Sidney. Vol. 121. Cambridge University Press, 2023. This shows the scholastic, rhetorical, or grammarians' influence on Chaucer (depending on which author for which category).
