@Instrument_Data Adding a direct link to the announcement, since it has delightful images from the Chaucer manuscripts & early printed books: https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2023/10/chaucers-works-go-online.html

Here's depicted in the initial "W" of the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales: "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote..." from Lansdowne MS 851, c.1410.
