What is The Ellesmere Manuscript of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (Treasures from the Huntington Library) about?

<p><P>The Ellesmere manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer's <i>Canterbury Tales</i>, commonly referred to as the "Ellesmere Chaucer," is one of the most valuable and cherished manuscripts in the Huntington Library. Compiled within five years of Chaucer's death in 1400, it is considered by most experts to be the definitive manuscript of this cornerstone of English literature. This book is an ideal introduction to the Ellesmere Chaucer, covering its context, construction, and provenance, with more than two dozen full-page color illustrations showing the techniques of the scribes and illuminators.</p><h3>Booknews</h3><p>More like an art book decorated with literary and manuscript scholarship than vice versa. Emphasizing the illustrations, describes the manuscript, which is at Huntington, with color reproductions of several pages. The volume has lovely design, printing, and binding that is a joy to hold and behold in the age of ugly books. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)</p>
