The +first mention of Lydgate's authorship of this work was made by Stephen +Hawes in 1505 as one of Lydgate's seven major works. But many scholars +have doubted over the years that this poem was written by Lydgate, +because the style used doesn't greatly resemble the style of Lydgate's +other works, and the vocabulary is somewhat more modern than Lydgate is +known to have used. Modern scholars believe that this work was written +between 1478 and 1483 (about forty years after Lydgate's death). +Analysis of style and vocabulary have led scholars to conclude that the +author might have been a woman. For further information about this poem +please see The Assembly of Gods, edited by Jane Chance, published by +Medieval Institute Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1999, ISBN: +1580440223, which is also available online at +http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/asint.htm. + +The book from which this e-book was transcribed is a fascimile reprint +of the third printing of this book, made by Wynkyn de Worde circa 1500. +The book was printed in blackletter font known as Wynkyn de Worde's type +3, and uses many abbreviations, which I have expanded and rendered +inside parenthesis, eg., {x}. The abbreviations used in this book are: + + *Macron over the letter. The most common one, usually meaning + missing "n" or "m" after the letter. But in some cases might also + mean missing "e," "er" or "re" after the letter. This happens + usually when p, q or r have macrons. + *Little e over Middle-English thorn, meaning "the." + *Little t over Middle-English thorn, meaning "that." + *Little u over Middle-English thorn, meaning "thou." + *Little t over w, meaning "with." + *Middle-English yogh, representing "gh." + *Superscripted 9 after letter, meaning missing "us." Used only at + the end of the word. + *Superscripted 2 after letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re." + Used only at the end of the word. + *Stretched s, looking like integral sign, meaning missing "e" or "i" + before letter s. + *Dot over the letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re" after the + letter. Usually used with d, t, e and u. Combination q+d with dot + means "quod." + *Strike through letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re" after the + letter. Usually used with p, v and s. Striked through p might also + mean missing "ro" or "or" after p. + +Occasionally there were some letters printed upside down. I have +rendered them inside brackets, e.g., [x]. The poem uses two types of +punctuation--a dot, meaning longer pause, and a slash, meaning shorter +pause or comma. I have corrected many errors and noted them on a right +margin. Also this printing was missing three lines and one line had +several letters missing from the middle of the line. I have marked them +on a right margin and the correct reading supplied from the modern +edition. There were a couple of places where the word "nota" or "note" +was printed, but the actual notes weren't found in this reprint. There's +a fair chance that those notes were never printed.

No other copy of this edition is +recorded to be in existence. + +The types used are Caxton's type 3 (for the title) and Wynkyn de Worde's +type 3, with final m and n etc. from type 1 (in the rest of the book). +This type 3 is not known to have been used before 1499. + +Mr Sayle remarks that the woodcut illustration is taken from Caxton's +second edition (ab. 1483-4) of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. + +FRANCIS JENKINSON + +1906 March 5. + + + + +I certify that I have printed 250 copies only of this facsimile, that +the impressions have been rubbed off the plates and the negatives +destroyed. + +P.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

The +first mention of Lydgate's authorship of this work was made by Stephen +Hawes in 1505 as one of Lydgate's seven major works. But many scholars +have doubted over the years that this poem was written by Lydgate, +because the style used doesn't greatly resemble the style of Lydgate's +other works, and the vocabulary is somewhat more modern than Lydgate is +known to have used. Modern scholars believe that this work was written +between 1478 and 1483 (about forty years after Lydgate's death). +Analysis of style and vocabulary have led scholars to conclude that the +author might have been a woman. For further information about this poem +please see The Assembly of Gods, edited by Jane Chance, published by +Medieval Institute Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1999, ISBN: +1580440223, which is also available online at +<a href="http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/asint.htm">Rochester University</a>.</p> + +<p>The book from which this e-book was transcribed is a fascimile reprint +of the third printing of this book, made by Wynkyn de Worde circa 1500. +The book was printed in blackletter font known as Wynkyn de Worde's type +3, and uses many abbreviations, which I have expanded and rendered in <i>italics</i>. The abbreviations +used in this book are:</p> + +<ul> +<li><img src="images/en.gif" alt="e{n}" title="e{n}" />, <img src="images/om.gif" alt="o{m}" title="o{m}" />, +<img src="images/pre.gif" alt="p{re}" title="p{re}" />, <img src="images/que.gif" alt="q{ue}" title="q{ue}" />, +<img src="images/re.gif" alt="r{e}" title="r{e}" />—Macron over the letter. The most common one, usually meaning +missing "n" or "m" after the letter. But in some cases might also mean +missing "e", "er" or "re" after the letter. This happens usually when p, q or +r have macrons.</li> + +<li><img src="images/the.gif" alt="{the}" title="{the}" />—Little e over Middle-English thorn, meaning "the."</li> + +<li><img src="images/that.gif" alt="{that}" title="{that}" />—Little t over Middle-English thorn, meaning "that."</li> + +<li><img src="images/thou.gif" alt="{thou}" title="{thou}" />—Little u over Middle-English thorn, meaning "thou."</li> + +<li><img src="images/with.gif" alt="{with}" title="{with}" />—Little t over w, meaning "with."</li> + +<li><img src="images/yogh.gif" alt="{with}" title="{with}" />—Middle-English yogh, representing "gh."</li> + +<li><img src="images/us.gif" alt="n{us}" title="n{us}" />—Superscripted 9 after letter, meaning missing "us." Used only at the +end of the word.</li> + +<li><img src="images/ore.gif" alt="o{re}" title="o{re}" />—Superscripted 2 after letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re." Used +only at the end of the word.</li> + +<li><img src="images/is.gif" alt="{i}s" title="{i}s" />—Stretched s, looking like integral sign, meaning missing "e" or "i" +before letter s.</li> + +<li><img src="images/der.gif" alt="d{er}" title="d{er}" />, <img src="images/ere.gif" alt="e{re}" title="e{re}" />, +<img src="images/ter.gif" alt="t{er}" title="t{er}" />, <img src="images/uer.gif" alt="u{er}" title="u{er}" />—Dot over the letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re" after the letter. +Usually used with d, t, e and u. Combination q+d with dot means +"quod."</li> + +<li><img src="images/pro.gif" alt="p{ro}" title="p{ro}" />, <img src="images/ser.gif" alt="s{er}" title="s{er}" />, +<img src="images/ver.gif" alt="v{er}" title="v{er}" />—Strike through letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re" after the +letter. Usually used with p, v and s. Striked through p might also +mean missing "ro" or "or" after p.</li></ul> + + +<p>Occasionally there were some letters printed upside down. I have +rendered them inside brackets, e.g., [x]. The poem uses two types of +punctuation--a dot, meaning longer pause, and a slash, meaning shorter +pause or comma. I have corrected many errors and <ins class = "correction" title = "like this">noted them</ins>. +Also this printing was missing three lines and one line had +several letters missing from the middle of the line. They are marked and +the correct reading is supplied from the modern edition mentioned above. +There were a couple of places where the word "nota" or "note" was printed, +but the actual notes weren't found in this reprint. There's a fair chance +that those notes were never printed.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/20642-h/images/001.png b/20642-h/images/001.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index
