15611489Full calf. Probable first issue of the Stowe Edition with Chaucer's arms dated 1560 and before woodcut additions. Relative to the precedence of issues of the 1561 Stowe edition David R. Carlson "The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales" in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of The Canterbury Tales in Pictures British Library 2003 states "the most plausible explanation seems to be that the printer and publisher of the Stowe edition came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly after most of the press work for the edition had been done. After obtaining the blocks they ran up a new issue of the beginning of the book incorporating a "General Prologue" illustrated with woodcut. In all documented cases the unillustrated i.e. first"General Prologue" occurs with a title page showing the Chaucer arms dated 1560 at the top of the shield. A different title-page dated 1561 is found in copies incorporating the woodcut illustrated General Prologue." v. also David R. Carlson "Woodcut Illustrations of the Canterbury Tales 1483-1602. More specifically a recent Robert Temple Catalogue adds: "The first three gatherings in the 1561 second issue were entirely reprinted this being done to permit the inclusion of twenty-two wood-cut illustrations in the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales the signatures running floret4 floretiii being mis-signed Aiii 6 A4 B - I6. instead of the floret4 A - I6. of the first issue. In the illustrated i.e. second issue some damage to the wood-cut frame of the first secondary title is apparent which is not evident in the first issue: a crack in the wood extends from the centre of the lower edge up through the box identifying King Henry IIII to just left of centre of the title box and another from the top left-hand corner of the title-box through the box identifying King Henry VII and ending apparently at a worm-hole in its top rules. STC 2nd edition unaccountably and without assigning a reason lists these two issues in the reverse order - despite the evidence in the illustrated issue of the later date on the title-page the obviously interpolated gathering `' which contains the first six illustrated leaves of ten the rest being in the variant short gathering `A' and the extended splitting of the wood-block on the title-page to the Canterbury Tales which shows only a slight split at the extreme tail in the first printing and no worm-hole."

Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> The first collected edition of Chaucer deserves to rank in many ways with the 1623 First Folio edition of Shakespeare. The editor William Thynne was chief clerk of the kitchen in Henry VIII's household and accrued a wide variety of lucrative preferments. His dedication to Henry VIII actually written by Sir Brian Tuke contains many interesting remarks on the development of language and on Thynne's efforts at forming an "author collection" of Chaucer both manuscript and printed. The source for the Canterbury Tales was Wynkyn de Worde's 1498 edition collated with several manuscripts. Besides authentic works Thynne included some two dozen inauthentic poems making this the largest compendium of Middle English poetry heretofore published. In all twenty-one of the poems in the collection are first printings including four authentically by Chaucer: "The Book of the Duchess" "The Complaint unto Pity" "Lack of Steadfastness and "The Legend of Good Women." Thynne has often by criticized for publishing so many inauthentic poems in his Chaucer but this is unhistorical; nor is it even clear that he was making an active claim of authenticity for all that was included. His edition established the vulgate text of Chaucer for well over two centuries until Tyrwhitt's great edition of the Canterbury Tales appeared in 1775 see Sotheby's New York 29 October 1996 lot 346.<br> <br> "The woodcuts of the Knight and the Squire are here used for the first time as Chaucer illustrations the former is a close copy of the cut used in the Pynson 1526 edition but the rest belong to the original series of blocks cut for Caxton's second edition of the Canterbury Tales 1484" Pforzheimer.<br> <br> Pforzheimer 173.
