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 a piece 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."--Introduction.

"One thousand copies of this facsimile have been printed: of which this is number 77."
