Dear Ian,
Ulendorff is not the only one who reached the conclusion that BH
represents only a fraction of the language. I remember reading something
like that vack in the '60s.
And it's logical, isn't it? Does the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays
contain all the English of the late 16th century? Or do the Canterbury
Tales, Troilus and Casside and the rest of Chaucer's writngs contain all
the English of the late 14th?
Yours,
Jonathan
