I am an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto in English and Medieval Studies. I specialize in the study of medieval manuscripts, early printed books, and Middle English and Tudor literature, especially the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. This blog is designed to publish research that I do not have time or space for elsewhere. The descriptions of medieval bookbindings and other bits and pieces from medieval manuscripts on this site are work in progress. Corrections and conversation are very welcome!

My UofT website has more information about my teaching and research: http://www.individual.utoronto.ca/gillespie/

I tweet, sometimes: @alexgillespie

Thanks to Michael Raby, for site maintenance
