1440 Paper production - Basel * At what date paper from linen rags was 1st made is still in controversy; but it is generally conceded that during the latter 1/2 of the 14th C linen paper was largely made + well made in the mills of Italy. Sizing, although of service to the penman was of slight benefit to the printer. Paper was "sized" in manufacture by washing or bathing it with a very thin film of glutinous water. To lessen the wear on types + make the sheet more pliable under impression, printers had to dampen sized paper before it could be neatly printed. Properly treated by the printer unsized paper showed the impression of type with even greater sharpness + clearness. Polland "if a half (or rather less) be added to the height of a type page, + a half (or rather more) to its breath, we have a fair approximation to the size of an uncut copy." -Between the yrs. 1000 + 1400 in the hands of the European papermakers, cotton rags were accepted as the most available substitute for the barks + fibers of the Orient. It was used for writing + correspondence. Linen paper has always been prefaced for its claimed superior durability. * - Paper selected for the early book was sudden exact or fairly square It always had deckle or ragged edges. Early papers were not only irregular as to size but were somewhat rhomboidal as to form. Although the deckle edge was of no advantage to everyone, wide margins were approved by the studious, for they were needed for annotation + correction.

During the 2 centuries after Chaucer's death the language underwent the so called " great vowel shift" in which the pronunciation of each of the long vowels was shifted towards the front of the mouth. Soon after Chaucer's death The Middle English works see + do (pronounced in Chaucer's time say + doh) took on their modern sounds. This change in pronunciation reduced Chaucer's language + spelling progressively more archaic sounding + less intelligible. -Chaucer employed the London speech of his time. It is even doubtful if Chaucer had any important part in making the East Midland the dominant dialect. The speech of the capital would have necome standard English if he had never written a line. But he did add greatly to its prestige + distinction. Chaucer's language, then, is late Middle English of the South East Midland type.

In 1526 Pynson printed 3 Chaucer volumes which are bibliographically distinct + are not connected by general title nor any other link except similarity of forms + identity of date.

The present is, however, the earliest 'critical' attempt at an edition of Chaucer's Works (i.e. Thynne 1532.)
