A Comprehensive Textual Comparison of the Hg and El Manuscripts and the Edited Texts of The Canterbury Tales

本研究的目的是对乔叟的《坎特伯雷》中的亨格沃特（Hg）和埃尔斯米尔（El）两个曼恩普特人及其两个编辑文本--布莱克（Blake，1980）和本森（Benson，1987）--进行计算机辅助的文本比较。这将有助于乔叟的文本批评。自从Mooney（2004）指出Hg和El的候选抄写员Adam Pynkhurst以来，对这两份手稿语言特征的描述和发现引起了乔叟学派和中世纪学者的极大关注。我们的校勘索引将能够在这一国际学术趋势中提供具有头等重要性的数据。我们对Hg、El、Blake和Benson四个文本中的“库克的故事”、“巴斯的妻子的序言和故事”、“库克的故事”和“巴斯的妻子的故事”进行了比较索引。“修士的故事”和“召唤师的故事”。我们的索引是在Stubbs（2000）和她向我们提供的相关数据的基础上编制的。这是我们国际项目的一部分。这是Concordances-Jimura，Nakao，Matsuo，Blake，and Stubbs（2002），Nakao，et.（2004）和（2006）。我们真诚地希望，我们的这份报告将有助于发展乔叟和中世纪的文本和语言学研究。

The purpose of this research is to make a computer-assisted comprehensive textual comparison among the Hengwrt (Hg) and Ellesmere (El) Manuscripts of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer and their two edited texts, Blake (1980) which is faithfully reconstructed from Hg, and Benson (1987) which is based on El. This is expected to contribute a great deal to the text criticism of Chaucer. Since Mooney (2004) pointed out the candidate scribe of the Hg and El, Adam Pynkhurst, the description and discovery of the linguistic features of these two manuscripts have caught much attention of Chaucerian and medieval scholars. Our collation concordance will be able to offer data of the first class importance in this international scholarly tendency.We have made the comparative concordance of the four texts, Hg, El, Blake and Benson as regards 'The Cook's Tale' , 'The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale', 'The Friar's Tale' and 'The Summoner's Tale'.Our concordance is compiled on the basis of Stubbs (2000) and the relating data she offered to us. This is produced as part of our international project. This is a sequel to the concordances-Jimura, Nakao, Matsuo, Blake, and Stubbs (2002), Nakao, et. al. (2004) and (2006). It is sincerely hoped that our present report will be useful for developing Chaucerian and medieval textual and linguistic studies.
