User	Note	Page	Work	Collection	Time
Marie Richards	line 14: "en parfont et plus la treuve len treuve pesante": BL ms. has "en parfont et plus la treuue on pesante", which seems correct. Scribal error in our version.	Page 90	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	almost 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 8: quoie, from coi, to be still; calm; silent (DMF). Caxton has "stylle".	Page 90	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	almost 4 years ago
Marie Richards	last line: "vous" is clearly a scribal error - should be "nous", as it is in the BL ms.	Page 86	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	almost 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 18: Caxton has a similar translation: “that he knewe by nature that which might greue hym in his sowle, and lyue vnto Our Lord.” However, Prior, fn 2, see “nuire,” vice "vivre," in the 1245 version, which renders the meaning: “what might h...

Marie Richards	Hammond (fn 2) says "distaunce" (in Caxton, also "distance" here) is from OF "disseverance," = difference.	Page 81	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	last two lines: a rather loose translation to capture the meaning.	Page 77	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 8: "plain" is hard to translate. Caxton has "playn," which doesn't help.	Page 77	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 16: "se habandonne" may have positive meaning, per DMF.	Page 76	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	lines 2 and 13: "creu," "creux" Caxton takes from croire, "the arts are believed in the law" but it could be from croistre: [Avec valeur d'inchoatif] [D'une chose] "Se présenter, se manifester, arriver (à qqn)" (DMF). My translation may be a s...	Page 74	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 5: "visue" BL ms. has "viue"	Page 74	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Line 8: "le principal" Not sure how to translate. DMF has meanings similar to modern Fr/Eng.	Page 73	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Line 13: "voille": not in the DMF. Caxton has "rewler" = modern English "ruler," which makes sense so I have used it.	Page 71	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Line 9: chrestiente: Christendom or Christianity? I've translated as the former here, but as the latter previously.	Page 71	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Lines 2-4: Translation is Prior's, in Caxton p. 33 note 1.	Page 62	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 12: "hutins" isn't in the dictionary and Prior couldn't find a definition of it either. Prior corresponded with a certain Dr. Bradley, who suggested it might be a misreading of "lutryns," reading desks. Caxton leaves as "hutyns."	Page 61	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	"adrechier"=adresser, in modern French and as translated by Caxton is "addressed," but per DMF has the meaning of setting right, correcting. Need to review how I translated it previously.	Page 61	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Lines 6-8: cf. translation to modern English in Prior, Caxton, p. 50 n. 2	Page 58	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Line 20: volente. Per DMF, one of the three faculties of the reasoning soul, along with understanding (entendement) and memory.	Page 54	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 6: "voir"= "vrai" per DMF.	Page 53	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 16: desia = déjà	Page 50	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 2: "esjoie"= "esioie" BL has "esioye." Prior p. 25 fn 1 claims that Caxton mistranslated as "enjoyed," since he notes that the 1245 prose text has "eslessiee," from "eslessier,"= to rush, but claims the proper derivation should be from "esl...

Marie Richards	"And so many of them, wise as they were, perceived that it was often as much a burden to keep their treasures or to spend them, as to gather them; and that all this was a hindrance to learning." Caxton, p. 23, fn 1 for this modern translation.	Page 45	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Line 13: There is a line of text missing between "veoient" and "nulles." The BL ms. reads as follows: "veoient que de celles dont ilz ne veoient nullez."	Page 44	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 19: "a tant ester": "ester" has the sense of leaving something standing or aside. Cf DMF.	Page 36	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 17: "me" seems to be scribal error. It could be "ne" but probably should be "nous", which is what the BL ms. has.	Page 36	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	Last line (to next page): Prior, in Gossuin p. 66 fn *, provides a modern translation: C'est pourquoi celui-là est fou qui cherche à en avoir. Car tous ceux qui en cherchent ou en désirent sont mal avisés.	Page 35	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	pienche or pieuche, not found in dictionary but by context means rank.	Page 64	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	about 4 years ago
Marie Richards	line 3 entalenter: "Inspirer à qqn le désir (de qqc.)" DMF	Page 30	Walters Ms. W.199, Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde	Manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum	over 4 years ago
