Description: In this illustration for Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval poem The Canterbury Tales, Szyk depicts the Manciple. In charge of buying provisions for an inn, the Manciple is well-dressed in a short robe and cowl. Though he holds a flask, his stern face and the multiple weapons on his belt exude a guarded demeanor.
