Contents
The manuscript is a typescript of the “Circe” episode, comprised of only bottom copies of what were presumably 3 complete typescripts (a top copy, none of which survive, and 2 bottom copies), of which 1 partial, other copy survives (Buffalo MS V.B.13.e). This part of the typescript was prepared from the scribal version of the Rosenbach manuscript (faircopy) version of the episode (MS V.B.13.d.1). The typescript was revised by Joyce, who also made most of these same emendations on the corresponding pages of the other copy of the typescript and then he further revised only this copy. This copy of the typescript is continued on MS V.B.13.h.3 and is continued on MS V.B.13.h.5. The text on the pages is as follows:
