Hoccleve's Regiment of Princes Variant Collation Tables

This collection is pulled in from the Hoccleve Archive, a repository of resources and projects dedicated to editing and studying the manuscript texts of fifteenth-century London poet Thomas Hoccleve. See our main website: hocclevearchive.org for more details. This collection is on its way to consisting of 46 sets of imaged documents (currently available at Texas ScholarWorks). They originate in a collection of over 6,000 pages of handwritten variant tables compiled by Charles Blyth and a team of editors consisting of David Greetham, Jerome Mitchell, Gail Sigal, Peter Farley, Marcia Marzec, and David Yerkes during the 1980s and 1990s. Their goal was to collate the manuscripts of Thomas Hoccleve's fifteenth-century poem, The Regiment of Princes. Blyth used aspects of these tables to help produce his 1999 edition of the poem published by TEAMS, but never was able to publish the comprehensive textual data. Blyth passed this collection to Elon Lang in 2009. Lang set up the Hoccleve Archive in 2012 at UT-Austin, where, in collaboration with Robin Wharton, students, and other scholarly collaborators like yourself, we seek to preserve, transcribe, and publish the collation tables, to collect other materials related to Hoccleve and Hoccleve scholarship, and to develop strategies for building and using digital archives and editions.
