Document:
From here you can navigate to a manuscript transcription using a page reference from a standard printed edition. The manuscripts which can be navigated in this way are limited to those which have been used as base manuscripts for the editions concerned, or from which substantial variant passages have been printed in those editions. You can check which manuscripts can be navigated in this manner by looking at those accessible via the ‘add witness ... ’ drop-down list at the top right of the Manuscript Transcriptions page (which you will find, in turn, under the Navigate heading). Those manuscripts which have such information associated with the transcriptions are indicated by a ‘[p]’ next to their entry in the drop-down list.
From the menu choice you will only be able to navigate to the particular manuscript(s) used by the edition, so you will not be able to go directly to the same passage in other manuscripts. Should you wish to do this, go first to the transcription of the base manuscript used by the edition, find the nearest SHF reference marker in the base manuscript (displayed in a blue box), then open up the other manuscript you are interested in; finally, synchronise the transcriptions by clicking on the ‘sync’ link in the base manuscript. Bear in mind, however, that relatively few manuscripts have been completely transcribed (click here for an overview), so it may be that the transcription of the passage you are interested in, as it appears in a particular manuscript, may not yet be available on the Online Froissart.
First part of the edition of Book I for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript for the edition is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, mss. fr. 6477–6479. The critical apparatus of the edition gives variants taken from many other manuscripts. Some of these have been encoded in the transcription files of the Online Froissart and are therefore also accessible.
Fourth part of the edition of Book I for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript for the edition is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, mss. fr. 6477–6479. The Online Froissart currently does not yet contain the part of the text edited in this volume.
Fifth part of the edition of Book I for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript for the edition is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, mss. fr. 6477–6479. The Online Froissart currently does not yet contain the part of the text edited in this volume.
Final part of the edition of Book I for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript for the edition is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, mss. fr. 6477–6479. The Online Froissart currently only contains the transcription of the final chapter edited in this volume (ms. fr. 6479, fol. 161v). The critical apparatus of the edition gives variants taken from many other manuscripts, but these references have not yet been encoded in the transcription files on the Online Froissart and are therefore not yet accessible.
First part of the edition of Book II for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Leiden, University Library, Vossiani Germano-Gallici in-Folio, 9, vol. 2. The Leiden manuscript, however, lacks several substantial parts of Book II because it starts only on § 83 of the SHF edition and has two complete quires missing, which would have contained the text of § 273-289 and § 392-406. In the printed edition these parts have been edited from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 5006. The text edited in this volume is therefore based on the Paris manuscript up to p. 119. From p. 119 to 289 the edition is based on the Leiden manuscript.
Second part of the edition of Book II for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Leiden, University Library, Vossiani Germano-Gallici in-Folio, 9, vol. 2. The Leiden manuscript, however, lacks several substantial parts of Book II because it starts only on § 83 of the SHF edition and has two complete quires missing, which would have contained the text of § 273-289 and § 392-406. In the printed edition these parts have been edited from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 5006. The text edited in this volume is based on the Leiden manuscript up to p. 223. The Paris manuscript has then been edited from p. 223 to 249 or 250. From 249 or 250 to 293 the edition is again based on the Leiden manuscript.
Final part of the edition of Book II for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Leiden, University Library, Vossiani Germano-Gallici in-Folio, 9, vol. 2. The Leiden manuscript, however, lacks several substantial parts of Book II because it starts only on § 83 of the SHF edition and has two complete quires missing, which would have contained the text of § 273-289 and § 392-406. In the printed edition these parts have been edited from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 5006. The text edited in this volume is based on the Leiden manuscript up to p. 138. The Paris manuscript has then been edited from p. 138 to 165. From 165 to 313 the edition is again based on the Leiden manuscript. The critical apparatus of the edition gives variants taken from several other manuscripts, in particular Brussels, Royal Library, ms. IV 1102 and Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 6472. The location of some of the longer variants has been encoded in the transcription files and is therefore accessible through this page. The three final chapters of Book II (SHF 2-500 to 2-502) have been printed in this volume from Berlin, Staatsbibliothek — Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Ms. Rehdiger 2 (Depot Breslau, 1, Bd. 2) and Paris, Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, ms. 5188.
First part of the edition of Book III for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 2650, the single manuscript containing the second authorial version of Book III. The edition of Book III differs from the earlier volumes containing the editions of Books I and II in two important ways. First, in the Book III edition no variants from other manuscripts are printed by the editor. Second, the text division present in this edition, unlike in the editions of Books I and II, is not based on the text division in the base manuscript, but is imposed by the editor.

Third part of the edition of Book III for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 2650, the single manuscript containing the second authorial version of Book III. The edition of Book III differs from the earlier volumes containing the editions of Books I and II in two important ways. First, in the Book III edition no variants from other manuscripts are printed by the editor.

Final part of the edition of Book III for the Société de l’Histoire de France. The base manuscript is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 2650, the single manuscript containing the second authorial version of Book III. The final chapter (SHF 3-308) is absent from the second version. It has been printed in this volume from a witness of the first authorial version, Berlin, Staatsbibliothek — Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Ms. Rehdiger 2 (Depot Breslau, 1, Bd. 2). The edition of Book III differs from the earlier volumes containing the editions of Books I and II in two important ways. First, in the Book III edition no variants from other manuscripts are printed by the editor. Second, the text division present in this edition, unlike in the editions of Books I and II, is not based on the text division in the base manuscript, but is imposed by the editor.
First part of the edition of Book I published for the Académie royale de Belgique by Kervyn de Lettenhove. Kervyn uses the Amiens manuscript as the basis for his edition. Variant passages from the other main redactions of Book I are printed interspersed with the main text. For these variant passages, printed in a smaller font, Kervyn uses the Valenciennes manuscript (his ‘variantes de la première rédaction’), the incomplete edition of Book I by Dacier for the ‘A’ redaction (his ‘seconde rédaction’), the Soubise manuscript (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, mss. fr. 6477–6479) for the ‘B’ redaction (his ‘troisième rédaction’), and the Rome manuscript for the ‘Rome’ redaction (his ‘quatrième rédaction’). Shorter variants are printed at the bottom of the page, and their sources are not identified: they may be taken from other redactions, but also from other witnesses of the same redaction (they often seem to have been simply reproduced from Dacier’s edition, who does, however, identify where he takes them from). Whenever the ‘A’ and ‘B’ versions are identical, Kervyn chooses to give the text of the former as printed by Dacier rather than the better text found in the Soubise manuscript. Kervyn often changes the text of his base manuscripts without signalling this in any way to the reader. These editorial interventions range from small changes to the orthography, to the addition or substitution of words or phrases and the omission of entire passages. For the Amiens and Rome manuscripts most of the text is included, even though the sections are not always printed in the order they appear in the manuscripts (the order in the edition is often the narrative order found in the Amiens manuscript, but sometimes Kervyn follows the order of the Rome manuscript instead). For the other redactions it is not possible to gain an adequate idea of what they contain by simply using Kervyn’s edition.
First part of the Book II edition published for the Académie royale de Belgique by Kervyn de Lettenhove. Like the SHF edition this editor used as base manuscript Leiden, University Library, Vossiani Germano-Gallici in-Folio, 9, vol. 2. The Leiden manuscript, however, lacks several substantial parts of Book II because it starts only on § 83 of the SHF edition and has two complete quires missing, which would have contained the text of § 273-289 and § 392-406. Like in the SHF edition these missing parts have been edited in this edition from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 5006. The text edited in this volume is therefore based on the Paris manuscript up to p. 116. From p. 116 to 494 the edition is based on the Leiden manuscript.
Second and final part of the Book II edition published for the Académie royale de Belgique by Kervyn de Lettenhove. Like the SHF edition this editor used as base manuscript Leiden, University Library, Vossiani Germano-Gallici in-Folio, 9, vol. 2. The Leiden manuscript, however, lacks several substantial parts of Book II because it starts only on § 83 of the SHF edition and has two complete quires missing, which would have contained the text of § 273-289 and § 392-406. Like in the SHF edition these missing parts have been edited in this edition from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 5006. The text edited in this volume is therefore based on the Leiden manuscript for p. 1–27, p. 62–257 and p. 286–443, and on the Paris manuscript for p. 27–62 and 257–286. It is unclear exactly which manuscripts Kervyn de Lettenhove used for his edition of the variant chapters at the end of Book II (SHF 2-500 to 2-502), as his edition of these chapters on p. 443–447 is not consistent with the readings of any of the surviving manuscripts. It seems therefore likely that the editor combined readings from several manuscripts as he saw fit. The probably apocryphical chapter at the end, on p. 447–451, is edited from Cambrai, Bibliothèque municipale, ms. 746, the only manuscript containing this additional chapter.
