Material Description, Collation

The manuscript is a loose sheet of rolled paper, with a watermark of an image of a mailed arm & battle-axe and below it: "FABRIQUÉ EN ÉCOSSE". Joyce used the sheet horizontally, with the perforated edge on the left hand side; the emendation is on the recto in Joyce’s hand in black ink. This manuscript is the same kind of paper as MSS VI.I.2, I.31, I.43, and VI.J.4; all were probably torn from the same or similar tablets or blocks of sheets.

The emendation was transcribed by an amanuensis (probably not Beach, Maria Jolas, or Weaver) on the redrafted faircopy sheet (BL 47472, f. 30r; JJA 44.140) and was incorporated on the typescript (Private Collection; JJA 44.171).
