AB Chaucer’s Troylus and Criseide  has a very complex textual history, in which different traditions seem to be intermingled—either because of diverse layers in the composition or transmission of the poem. Among the sixteen different manuscripts which are extant nowadays, we are especially interested in one of them, ms British Library Harley 2392 (H4).  Although this copy of the text has been disregarded by some as athorough mess  (Hanna 1992: 179) from a textual point of view—it is a conflation of two groups of manuscripts—, however, there are some aspects in it that have caught our attention, namely the high amount of marginalia  which are original to this particular copy. While other manuscripts have severalordinationes  in common, and a few of them include glosses resembling the Italian titles for each section of the Filostrato, H4  has many marginal annotations which do not appear in any other extant exemplar. Our aim in this paper is to analyse the original glosses in this copy of Troilus  in order to explore the role played by the scribe of the manuscript, “Style”: his additions to the marginalia  seem to hint at something beyond the task of a copyist, as those glosses are not mere indicators of the subject matter or simple bibliographical references, but they entail an interpretation of what Chaucer wrote.
