Ellesmere Chaucer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ellesmere Chaucer The Ellesmere Chaucer, or Ellesmere Manuscript is an early 15th-century illuminated manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer's ''Canterbury Tales'', held in the Huntington Library, in San Marino, California (MS EL 26 C 9). It is considered one of the most significant texts of the ''Tales''. ==History== Written most likely in the first or second decade of the fifteenth century, the early history of the manuscript is uncertain, but it seems to have been owned by John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford (1408–1462). The manuscript takes its popular name from the fact that it later belonged to Sir Thomas Egerton (1540–1617), Baron Ellesmere and Viscount Brackley, who apparently obtained it from Roger North, 2nd Baron North (1530/31-1600).〔( Guide To Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Huntington Library )〕 The library of manuscripts remained at the Egerton house, Ashridge, Hertfordshire, until 1802 when it was removed to London. Francis Egerton, created Earl of Ellesmere in 1846, inherited the library, and it remained in the family until its sale to Henry Huntington by John Francis Granville Scrope Egerton (1872–1944), 4th Earl of Ellesmere. Huntington purchased the Bridgewater library privately in 1917 through Sotheby’s. The manuscript is now in the collection of the Huntington Library in San Marino, California (MS EL 26 C 9).
