Furnivall, from the original ms. version of 1616, Douce 170, collated with its ms. revision of 1630, Ashmole 53; with notes “On the magical elements in Chaucer’s ‘Squire’s tale,’” and analogues by W.A. Clouston (London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co, 1888, 1890). In the 1630s, Jonathan Sidnam modernized the first three books of Troilus and Criseyde.
