p. 277 Z 151 B 47 Stanford The edition of c. 1551 was evidently exhausted by 1561 when John Kingston printed for bookseller John Wight a new edition 'with divers addicions, whiche were never in print before." These were supplied by John Stow, the antiguary, who took them from an hitherto unused manuscript. Unfortunately, his zeal outran discretion, for most of the additions were not Chaucer's work at all.

p. 169 The Art of Written Forms DM Anderson "At about the time Caxton was publishing books a curious habit developed in English printing. When Anglo-Saxons dropped runic characters & began to write in Latin letters, they carried over several runic signs for special sounds. One of these was a sign for th called thorn. It looked like a cross between a p & a y, except that it had a short ascender & a cross stroke on it. Printers in England for some reason did not cut a special character for the ancient sign & began to substitute y. The word the in print appeared as a y with a tiny e on top of it. At the time every reader knew what it meant, but subsequently it came to be pronounced incorrectly. The ye of Ye Olde Tea Shoppe & other quaint usages are remnants of this confusion, a last echo of runic signs.
