The story of
Queen Anelida and the false Arcite:
by
Geoffrey Chaucer
Printed at Westminster
by William Caxton about the year
H77
Cambridge
at the University Press
1905
This edition of ' The Story of Anelida ' was
probably one of the first pieces printed by
Caxton in England. The group of small
quarto pamphlets to which it belongs are
likely to have preceded such large works as
the Canterbury Tales : and in this group the
Anelida, the Temple of Brass and the Book
of Courtesy may probably, on account of the
narrowness of the page, be placed earlier than
the others.
The copy at Cambridge was formerly bound,
with seven other tracts printed by Caxton, in a
volume which came to the University Library
in 1715 by the gift of King George the First,
with the rest of the library formed by John
Moore, Bishop of Ely. See W. Blades, The
Biography and Typography of William Caxton
(London, 1882, 8vo.), pp. 201, 202.
