Examine the first folio of Otuel (fol. 268ra-vb) and compare it with a folio known to be by Scribe 1 (e.g. typical folios by Scribe 1 include the opening of Horne Childe on fol. 317v, or fol. 263r from Roland and Vernague). Make a list of any similarities and differences you notice that could be used to either prove or disprove Otuel was copied by Scribe 1: alisonwiggins https://padlet.com/alisonwiggins/4ahiqrgzdsgr4y8x/wish/866172872 2020-10-27 15:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alisonwiggins/4ahiqrgzdsgr4y8x/wish/866172872 Guy of Warwick, f.147r (left) and f.146v (right) 2313981j https://padlet.com/alisonwiggins/4ahiqrgzdsgr4y8x/wish/961387361 Sorry, tried to get this under my comment for question 3! Just a ref. for what I was trying to say about the stanzas maybe being written at the same time as when Scribe 1 completed the couplets/added that juncture. ]]> 2020-11-25 20:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alisonwiggins/4ahiqrgzdsgr4y8x/wish/961387361
