e/The Manciples Tale

Information
has gloss	eng: The Manciples Tale is part of Geoffrey Chaucers The Canterbury Tales. It appears in its own manuscript fragment, Group H, but the prologue to the Parsons Tale makes it clear it was intended as the penultimate story in the collection. The Manciple, a purchasing agent for a law court, tells a fable about Phoebus Apollo and his pet crow, which is both an etiological myth explaining the crows black feathers, and a moralistic injunction against Gossip.
