There are corrections and additions in Joyce’s hand (and in a few instances in Sylvia Beach’s hand, presumably based on Joyce’s instructions) in black ink on all of the pages, except on pp. [1], [6], [7], [8], [15] and [25].

Contents

The manuscript is a typescript of the "Circe" episode, comprised of mixed top and bottom copies of what were at least 4 complete typescripts (a top copy 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 prepared directly from the Rosenbach manuscript (faircopy) version of the episode (see CSE 1884–1885). The typescript was revised by Joyce, who also made most of these same emendations on the corresponding pages of the other copies of the typescript and then he further revised only this copy. This copy of the typescript is continued from MS V.B.13.h.2 and on MS V.B.13.h.4. The text on the pages is as follows:
