FOOTNOTES:
[A] I prefer the term ‘Anglo-Norman’ to ‘Anglo-French,’ partly because
it is the established and well-understood name for the language in
question, and partly for the reasons given in Paul’s _Grundriss der
germ. Philologie_, vol. i. p. 807. It must however be remembered
that the term indicates not a dialect popularly spoken and with a
true organic development, but a courtly and literary form of speech,
confined to the more educated class of Society, and therefore
especially liable to be influenced by continental French and to receive
an influx of learned words taken directly from Latin. The name implies
that in spite of such influences it retained to a great extent its
individuality, and that its development was generally on the lines of
the Norman speech from which it arose.
[B] The references to the _Balades_ and _Traitié_ are by stanza, unless
otherwise indicated.
[C] But the same word in other connexions is a monosyllable, as _q’ils
lées en soiont_ 28132, and rhymes with _magesté_, _degré_, &c., 27575,
28093, 28199.
[D] We have in _Mir._ 6115 _Oseë dist en prophecie_, and so too _Oseë_
11018, _Judeë_ 20067, and _Galileë_ 29239, but _Galilée_ in rhyme with
_retrové_ 28387.
[E] Cp. _Romania_, xii. 194. I am much indebted to M. Paul Meyer’s
notes on the _Vie de S. Grégoire_, as well as to his other writings.
[F] See Sturmfels in _Anglia_, viii. 220, and Behrens, _Franz.
Studien_, v. 84. I take this opportunity of saying that I am indebted
both to the former’s _Altfranz. Vokalismus im Mittelenglischen_ and
to the latter’s _Beiträge zur Geschichte der französischen Sprache in
England_.
[G] Those who quote _eschiue_, _siue_, as from Gower, e.g. Sturmfels,
in _Anglia_, ix, are misled by Ellis.
[H] Tanner remarks, ‘est tamen nescio quid in nominibus mysterii et, ut
ita dicam, conspiratio, utpote unius ab altero pendentis.’ _Biblioth._
p. 336.
[I] A list of poems in which this stanza is used is given in _Romania_,
ix. 231, by M. Gaston Raynaud.
[J] Under this head I do not include the termination (_-ont_ or _-ent_)
of the 3 pers. pl. pres. tense, which was apparently to some extent
accented, see ll. 1265, 1803, 1820, &c., and in one stanza even bears
the rhyme (20294 ff.).
[K] Perhaps, however, _dame_ was in these cases really a monosyllable,
as apparently in _Mir._ 6733, 13514, 16579.
[L] It must not be assumed however that the text of the Roxburghe Club
edition accurately represents that of the MS. If such variations as
autre (_for_ lautre), ii. l. 21, En qui iv. 17, De vii. 6, Nest pas
vii. 13, xiv. 7, &c., prendre x. 20, et uns xv. 15, El fait xvi. 18,
and so on, are unnoticed in this edition, that is not owing to the
negligence of the present editor, but because they are not in fact
readings of the MS.
[M] For example B gives us the following variations in the first two
balades:
_Trait._ i. l. 4 gouernance 6 discret 13 bon 20 et (_for_ a)
ii. l. 1. la spirit qui ert 2 Est 4 Qui ert _om._ dont
5 de (_for_ le) 7 bone.
There are more bad mistakes here in two balades than in the whole text
of the _Traitié_ as given by any one of the four best MSS. On the other
hand, ‘creatoris’ in the heading of the first balade, and ‘homme’ (for
‘lom_m_e’) in ii. 11, are mistakes of the German editor.
[N] MS. Camb. Univ. Add. 3035
[O] _Owing to the loss of a part of the leaf_ (f. 12) _on which the
Latin occurs, the text of_ ll. 9-12 _and of the first prose quotation
which follows is imperfect. It runs thus:_
. . . . . pullus quo nunquam gracior vllus
. . . . regit que tirannica colla subegit
. . . ile cepit oleum quo regna recepit
. . . ri iuncta stipiti noua stirps redit vncta.
. . il proficiet inimicus in eo et filius iniqui
. . . non apponet nocere ei.
_The missing words are supplied from other copies of the same lines,
which are found in a somewhat different arrangement in the All Souls’
and Glasgow MSS. of the ‘Vox Clamantis’ (the prose quotations in the
latter only)._
[P] faciat _Glasg._ faciet _Trent._
