Transcriber's Note:
This book contains some dialect and/or older grammatical constructions,
some old French (and bits of other languages), which have all been
retained.
For example:
Footnote 2, Page l (from p. xvii):
"Sire cuens,"
...
"C'est vilanie;" ('T was villany:)
...
"Ma feme ne me rit mie."
...
"Vez com vostre male plie,
Ele est bien de vent farsie."
...
Deux chapons por deporter
A la sause aillie;
etc.
Page 20: 'the girl leaning out of window to tell her piece of news' is
as printed. The transcriber does not know if 'a window' or 'the window'
or just 'window' was intended.
Page 24: 'Nella' would be the genitive of 'Nello'.
In some European languages, the Proper nouns are also declined.
["... it is Count Nello, my father, he who fain would wed
me." "Who speaks of Count Nella...."]
Page 145: "E te' cca 'na timpulata!" occurs in another document as:
"E te 'cca 'na timpulata!", and in another as "E te' 'cca 'na timpulata!"
Many French accents are missing from the English text, e.g.
Page 181: "Mistral ... paints the Provence of the valley of the Rhone, ..."
Page 335: 'compact' is correct; = 'agreement'.
(Apparently she took the advice and kept the compact)
Page 348: "nni" in "Lu me rifugiu nni la sorti orrenna," is as printed.
It may not be an error.
This book also contains some Greek words, and passages of Greek.
which have been transliterated into Latin text, e.g. [Greek: nenitos]
Errata:
Sundry damaged or missing punctuation has been repaired.
Page 62: 'portait' corrected to 'portrait'.
(he might at least possess his portrait).
Page 84: 'befel' corrected to 'befell'.
(the fate that befell a French professorship of Armenian)
