Notes

  1. In my articleLes deux versions du Tristan en prose (Romania LXXXIV, 1963, pp. 390-8), I did point out, however, that this division into two versions could not be applied to a large section of the early part of the romance, where all the MSS. are in close agreement and where only one version is presented.

  2. The Problems of the Authorship of the Prose Tristan (Romania, LXXIX, 1958, pp. 314–338).

  3. Vienna, Nationalbibliothek, 2537 and 2539-40. See E. Vinaver,Etudes sur le Tristan en prose, (Paris, 1925), p. 31.

  4. Le “Tristan en prose”, essai d'interprétation d'un roman médiéval (Geneva, 1975), pp. 92–93.

  5. Op. cit., p. 40.

  6. Op. cit., p. 90.

  7. To be published.

  8. It is interesting to note that, unlike Hélie, Luce uses the “correct” case.

  9. For a discussion of this term, see the article mentioned above, “The Problems of the Authorship...”, pp. 328–334.

  10. As they occur in the section of theProse Tristan I have not yet edited, and of which I have not examined every manuscript in detail, I am quoting my examples from Löseth'sAnalyse.

  11. Löseth,Analyse, p. 382, note 1.

  12. B.N. 750: Löseth, §104, §106, §185a; B.N. 104, 336, 757 and 12599: Löseth §545. E. Baumgartner (op. cit. p. 91) also mentions tworenvois to Luce on ff. 304 and 307 of B.N. 750; the former, according to Löseth, §192a, nota a, is just a reference to thegrant histoire without naming Luce; the latter is not referred to by Löseth at all. The threerenvois of the first group are found in B.N. 750 and Carpentras 404.

  13. B.N. 338; text quoted from R. Lathuillère,Guiron le Courtois (Geneva, 1966), p. 176. According to R. Lathuillère, this Prologue, including the passage I quote, is found with minor variants in all theGuiron MSS. which are complete at the beginning.

  14. Edinburgh, N.L.S. Adv. 19.1.3.; Ghent, Bibl. de l'Univ. 6; B.N. 756; Vienna, National-bibl. 2542; text of B.N. 756.

  15. I examine this problem in the Introduction to my critical edition of Volume III.
