Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Astrolabe: Addressed to His Son Lowys by Geoffrey Chauceer, A. D. 1391
The order of the conclusions in Part ii. Differs from that in all the editions hitherto printed, and the ms. Terminates abruptly in the middle of a sentence, at the words howre after howre in Con elusion 40. A portion of the page of the ms. Below these words is left blank, though the colophon Explicit tractatus, &c., was added at the bottom of the page at a later period.
Certain allusions in the former part of the ms. Render it pro bable that it was written in London, about the year 1400.
