Book Description:

Chaucer likely consulted Somer's Kalendarium to relate dates, times, and movements of the stars and planets to events in his tales. Mooney discusses not only Somer's importance but also Chaucer's use of the Kalendarium in composing his texts from The Parliament of Fowls through The Canterbury Tales.
