The opening folio of the Hengwrt manuscript contains the beginning of the General Prologue.
The Hengwrt manuscript is an early 15th century manuscript of the Canterbury Tales, held in the National Library of Wales, in Aberystwyth. There is another early manuscript of the same called the Ellesmere manuscript, and they are believed to be by the same scribe, though the Ellesmere manuscript has much more elaborate illustrations.
