The purpose of the present paper is to examine the use of both the term and concept "copy-text" with reference to some recent Chaucer editions. The paper will be in two parts: the first deals with the concept of copy-text in general, based on a conservative reading of Greg's definition; the second deals with the use of this and related terminology primarily in the recent Variorum Chaucer volumes, the Riverside Chaucer, and Blake's edition of the Canterbury Tales.
