Usually ascribed to the year 1423, James I's masterpiece 'The Kingis Quair' is a vivid love-dream allegory composed in Early Scots and marks the outset of the golden age of Scottish literature. Often referred to as the first 'Scottish Chaucerian' poem, it acknowledges the influence of the author of 'Canterbury Tales'. The work is transcribed from the only known MS (Bodleian Arch. Selden, B.24, foll.192-211) which itself is dated to 1488 or shortly after.The volume also contains the poem Christ's Kirk of the Green, [the editor's] Dissertation on the Life and Writings of King James I, and the Dissertation on Scottish Music. The editor, William Tytler, was the father of Lord Woodhouslee. SCARCE. NCBEL I, p.256.
