ABSTRACT
Sylvanus’ tale in Gascoigne’s Princely Pleasures at Kenelworth Castle (pub 1576) is a possible source for Spenser’s Oak and Briar in Februarie 102-238 (Friedland 1954, Prouty 1942:222n). The Ariostan figure of Suspition in his Adventures of Master F.J. (ed 1907-10, 1:421-4) is a likely source for Malbecco (Nelson 1953, but see McNeir 1959).
