No other edition accurately represents the actual (and likely authorial) divisions of the text as attested to by its two surviving witnesses - Caxton?s 1485 print and, especially, the famous Winchester Manuscript. The Winchester Manuscript is now generally agreed to be the more authentic of the two earlier texts.
