O'Neill, Ynez Violé, "A speculation concerning the grain in Chaucer's Prioress's Tale", Medical History, 12 (1968), 185-190.
- Resum
- The catholicity of Chaucer's interests has always fascinated and confounded those who seek to trace the origins of the Canterbury Tales. Numerous studies, for example, have been devoted to explaining the miraculous grain in the Prioress's Tale, and these attest to the many sources literary historians have investigated in their quest to understand even the smallest details of Chaucer's great work. The purpose of this paper is to suggest other sources possibly influential in determining Chaucer's use of a grain in this context, and to remind those who study the Middle Ages of the wealth of ideas to be found in the rich garners of medieval medical texts.
