Note 26 — POEMS
Reading edition
Cy. The Carnaby MS. consists of one hundred folio pages bound in flexible vellum, and is now in the Harvard College Library, Boston. It is by no means an exhaustive collection; the poems are chaotically arranged; the text seems to be careless, and the spelling unusually erratic; but most of the poems it contains are genuine.26 This manuscript is not as a whole identical with P, but some of the poems it contains must have come from that or from a common source.
