General
King Horn, Floriz and Blauncheflur, The Assumption of Our Lady
English poetry -- Middle English, 1100-1500; Mary, Blessed Virgin, Saint -- Legends; Romances, English
In the Introduction to Floris and Blancheflur, the English passages
printed alongside the French version are from Hausknecht’s edition.
_Inconsistencies_
Introduction:
The forms “H Z”, “HZ.” and “H. Z.” (for “Haupt’s Zeitschrift für
deutsches Alterthum”) each appear once.
The term “X type” (of OE. rime) appears both with and without period,
and in both bold and ordinary type.
Some references to Hempl’s test have “_-wǭ-_, _-wō-_” instead of the
expected “_-wǭ-_, _-wọ̄-_”. These are shown as printed.
In a few paragraphs, the abbreviation “O.E.” has been silently
regularized to “OE.”
General:
The abbreviations “V.” and “Cott.” (see beginning of Glossary) refer to
the same MS., Cott. Vitell. D. III.
“MS. Gg. 4. 27. 2.” is written both with and without final period
(full stop).
When the editor is writing in his own voice, the Introduction uses “æ”
while the notes use “ae”. Middle English is always “æ” (one letter);
Latin is always “ae” (two letters).
The Laud MS. always has “c{r}ist...” instead of the more common
“c{ri}st...”
In the Notes, anomalous quotation marks such as ‘R. H.’ for R. H.
(without quotes) are unchanged.
