Abstract

This essay sets out as opposites the careers of two important players in the promulgation and reception of , Chaucer, and in the years leading up to the death of Archbishop Matthew Parker in 1575. First, a catalogue of thirty-three items by the hand of the in Trinity College MS R.3.15, most of them quite staid products of the archbishop’s household. Then, a corrected and extended catalogue of books and manuscripts owned or inscribed by Stephan Batman, who claimed to have collected 6700 books for the archbishop and whose imagination ran rampant. The final section investigates the ways in which these two have been combined into one, especially in the work of Simon Horobin. An appendix tracks the history of the cancelled classmarks found in Trinity College Library’s manuscripts, the misreading of one of which, in the manuscript R.3.14, as Batman’s erased initials is symptomatic of the mode of argumentation that made the historical Batman into his opposite: the scribe, a George Kane , textual critic of Middle English poetry.
