Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Manuscript

I have selected Chaucer's Canterbury Tales manuscript (1400-1405) to study. It is located at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California.

The Ellesmere Chaucer is a beautiful and elaborately decorated manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.
