Percy Folio

I'm not entirely sure where I got that detail from now. Percy states in his preface:

"If the collection was made by this lawyer, ... it would seem, from the errors and defects with which the MS. abounds, that he had employed his clerk in writing the transcripts, who was often weary of his task."

So perhaps not Blount but his clerk. Furnivall in his 1868 publication of the manuscript specifically rejects that Blount might have transcribed them, apparently because the work is poor for a man of Blount's status. Hope this helps. meltBanana 01:42, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
