*V.B.16.a.ii
*V.B.16.a.ii [V.B.16.b.]: Duplicate Partial Typescript of the First Part of the "Penelope" (18) Episode for Ulysses (1921):
Material Description and Collation: The manuscript consists of 7 loose sheets of thin typing paper, with corrections and additions in Joyce's hand in black ink on all of the pages. All of the pages are double-spaced typewritten purple ink bottom (carbon) copies; the versos are blank.
Measurements: The sheets measure approximately 27.0 x 21.0 cm.
Pagination: The sheets were paginated by the typist "13", "15", "16", "19", "20", "22" and "27" in the upper left corner.
Contents: The manuscript is a partial typescript of the first 5 "sentences" of the "Penelope" episode, comprised of only bottom (carbon) copies of what were at least 3 complete typescript copies (a top copy and 2 bottom copies). The top (original) ribbon copy of this typescript is at the Huntington Library (HM 41122) and Buffalo MS V.B.16.a.i is complete bottom (carbon) copy. The typescript was prepared from the Rosenbach (faircopy) manuscript version of the episode. Some of the emendations Joyce made on this copy of the typescript also appear on MS V.B.16.a.i, but he also made further emendations only on this typescript and on the Huntington Library copy. The text on the pages is as follows:
