Dating
This first typescript of the episode was prepared in October 1921 in Paris.
Other Markings
There is a note in Sylvia Beach’s hand in the upper left margin of the recto on p. [1] that reads: "10 pages | with typewritten nos". The word "rien" was written in pencil and circled in pencil and "p. 658" was also written in pencil on the upper margin on p. [33].
Publication
Only pp. [2], [9], [10], [25], [31] and [39] of manuscript have been reproduced in black and white photo-facsimile on JJA 16.003, 027, 031, 067, 087 and 131.
Notes
There are between 2 and 5 triangular perforations in the left margins of all of the sheets, but the manuscript does not appear to have been actually fastened together as a single document. There are traces of metal paper clips on pp. [1], [11], [12], [33] and [63v] and water stains on p. [32]. The sheets were folded in the center vertically and horizontally.
- Although this manuscript should be designated "V.B.15.c," Spielberg’s designation has been retained.
