Notes
This paper is an attempt to apply to a specific textual problem the methods outlined by Professor Archibald A. Hill in "Some Postulates for Distributional Study of Texts," Studies in Bibliography, III (1950), 63-95, and I assume familiarity with the terminology developed there.
Erich Vollmer, Das Mittelenglische Gedicht The Boke of Cupid, (Berliner Beiträge zur germanischen und romanischen Philologie, XVII, 1898), pp. 46-47.
The NED lists as spellings of obey the forms of this word found in F, T, Th1, Th2, and Th3, but abying (abiyng) is a different word.
Lack of space forbids my giving here my complete tables of variants and of agreements between texts.
Dr. George Pace (Papers of the Bibliographical Society, University of Virginia, I (1948), 111) finds the same relation between the Thynne texts of Chaucer's Purse.
Information in the NED concerning spellings of fool and foul indicates that this variant is probably a substantive one.
