A. S. G. Edwards is Honorary Professor of Medieval Manuscripts at the University of Kent at Canterbury. DANIEL W. MOSSER is Emeritus Professor of English at Virginia Tech. He has published numerous articles on fifteenth-century manuscripts and incunabula, primarily those containing Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. He has collaborated on the production and maintenance of two large online reference works: The Thomas L. Gravell Watermark Archive (with Ernest W. Sullivan II, et al.), and the Digital Index of Middle English Verse (together with Linne R. Mooney, et al.). The late Derek Pearsall was Emeritus Gurney Professor of Middle English Literature at Harvard University; he wrote extensively on Chaucer, Gower, Langland and Lydgate, including biographies of Chaucer and Lydgate, an edition of the C-text of Langland's Piers Plowman. Jeremy Smith was professor of English philology at Glasgow, where he remains a senior research fellow and emeritus professor, and an honorary professor at St Andrews. His specialisms include English historical linguistics, medieval studies, and book history, combined recently in Transforming Early English (2020). JULIA BOFFEY is Professor of Medieval Studies in the Department of English at Queen Mary University of London. RICHARD BARBER has had a huge influence on the study of medieval history and literature, as both a writer and a publisher. His first book on the Arthurian legend appeared in 1961, and his major works include The Knight and Chivalry (winner of the Somerset Maugham Award in 1971), Edward Prince of Wales and Aquitaine, The Penguin Guide to Medieval Europe and The Holy Grail: the History of a Legend which was widely praised and was translated into six languages.

[A] beautifully produced and scholarly volume [that] approaches infallibility: not only its recipients but the editors, contributors, and all involved in its preparation and production should feel honoured by it.
