English: Produced in London in the 1330s, the manuscript provides a unique insight into the English language and literature that Chaucer and his generation grew up with and were influenced by. It acquired its name from its first known owner, Lord Auchinleck, who discovered the manuscript in 1740 and donated it to the precursor of the National Library in 1744. Auchinleck contains a large collection of Middle English poetry, containing a wide range of genres, the above page being one of eight romances; Reinbroun in particular shows an interest in the supernatural and the fairy world. http://auchinleck.nls.uk/mss/reinbrun.html http://auchinleck.nls.uk/index.html
