Contents

The manuscript is a typescript of the "Circe" episode, comprised of only bottom copies of what were presumably 4 complete typescripts (a top copy, none of which survive, and 3 bottom copies), of which 3 partial, other copies survive (Buffalo MSS V.B.13.e, 13.f and 13.g). This part of the typescript was also prepared from the scribal version of the Rosenbach manuscript (faircopy) version of the episode (MS V.B.13.d). The typescript was revised by Joyce, who also made most of the emendations on the corresponding pages of the other copies of the typescript. It is continued from MS V.B.13.h.4 and is continued on MS V.B.13.h.6. The text on the pages is as follows:
