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:
