Document:
First draft (pencil), followed immediately by III§2A.0, in hardbacked notebook; March 1924 (see Letters, III, 15 March, I, 24 March, and III, 6 April, 1924).
Second draft (pencil), followed immediately by III§2A.1; finished by 24 April 1924 (see Letters, Beach, 25 April, 1924).
Fair copy (pencil), followed immediately by III§2A.2; probably written out late April and revised in first half of May 1924 (see Letters, I, 24 May 1924).
Second fair copy (ink), followed immediately by III§2A.3; probably mid-June 1924.
Rough notes for the revisions in second fair copy (also for III§2A.3/2C.3). Some of the notes on the letter-paper are repeated on the envelope (cf. also N10 (VI.B.16).139(a), et seq.); June 1924 (see Letters, I, 27 June 1924).
Third fair copy (ink), followed immediately by III§2A.4; completed January 1925 (see Letters, III, 18 January, S. Ill., 19 January and Stanford, 21 January, 1925).
First typescript, made in conjunction with III§2A.5/2B.2/2C.5; typed late January 1925 (see Letters, Stanford, 21 January and 27 January, and Selected Letters, 27 January 1925). Returned to and revised March/April 1926 (see Letters, I, 18 March, 1926).
Fair copy (ink) mixed with pages from the preceding TS, made in conjunction with III§2A.6/2B.4/2C.6; revised at the same time as III§3A.5/3B.5; 2nd half of April 1926 (see Letters, III, 17 April and 2 May, 1926).
Revision contained in letter to Lily Bollach dated 5 May 1926 (the second revision - to add “too fly” - is a mistake, it was already in the text; the change “hairy” to “hairyman” was intended).
Second typescript (incomplete), made by Lily Bollach (finished before 21 May 1926), numbered 1-12 uniform with III§2A.7/2B.5/2C.7 and III§3A.6/3B.6; revised May-June 1926 (see Letters, III, 16 May, I, 21 May, and III, 7 June, 1926) and intermittently over the Summer (see drafts §1A.7′ and §1A.7+ below).
Further revisions for III.1-4 (also written in on above draft) included in letters to Sylvia Beach (see Letters, Beach, 19 June, 2 September and 11 September, 1926; see also N23 (VI.B.12).030(o) and surrounds for the first list).

Note: transition 12 was published in the last week of March 1928 (see Letters, BLHW, 21 March and Beach, 25 March, 1928).
Additions to insert “D” that did not make it into transition 12 but were later added in draft 12 below; probably late March 1928.
Note: Harry Crosbie of the Black Sun Press went to see Sylvia Beach in February 1929 to ask for a fragment of Work in Progress for a deluxe publication. Joyce agreed to give him II.2§8 and the two fables. A contract was signed on 4 April 1929 (see Letters, SIBS, 4 April 1929). See also I.6§3.3 and II.2§8.7.

Note: Tales Told of Shem and Shaun was ready, if not officially published, before Joyce went on holiday in England on 10 July (see Harry Crosbie diary 17 June and Letters, III, 17 July, 1929). He did not return to Paris until mid-September 1929, at which time he got III.4 ready for transition (see III§4.4).
Copy of the conclusion of ‘The Ondt and the Gracehoper’ from Tales Told for Richard Aldington's Imagist Anthology (London: Chatto and Windus, May 1930). Joyce had originally intended to give him the St. Kevin piece that he had laid aside in 1923 (see Letters 27 May 1929, and IV§2.5).
Copy (missing, presumably unmarked) of Tales Told of Shem and Shaun for the printer of Two Tales of Shem and Shaun (London: Faber and Faber, December 1932).
At least two, but possibly three, sets were involved. The first one (or two) were brought over to Faber and Faber by Maria Jolas at the end of January 1936 (see Letters, III, 27 January and NLFF, 3 February 1936). This was followed shortly afterwards by a typed list of further corrections (see III§1A.12+++ below). In June, the full MS (together with the equivalent Book I copy) was carried back to Paris by T.S. Eliot so that handwritten revisions could be typed (see Letters, NLFF, 17 April and 7 May, 1936). This work was completed and the MSS returned to London by Lucie Léon mid-July 1936 (see Letters, NLFF, 3 July and 12 July, 1936).
Dating the revisions themselves is more problematical. The collecting and assembly of the material appears to have begun in the autumn of 1931 (see Letters, III 27 October 1931). It is likely that Joyce undertook the first stage of revision in or around 1933-34. He started again the summer of 1935 (see III§1A.12′χ below). Another fallow period followed (see Letters, NLHW, 13 September 1935), until finally, with Léon's help, he got the whole, very complex material ready for delivery to London in early 1936.
Marked pages of transition 12 (FW, 403-414.21: the first two leaves of text in this set were later transferred and used in §1A.12′+/1B.3′+), pages of Two Tales of Shem and Shaun (London, Faber and Faber, 1932) including one typescript page of additions (FW 414.22-419.10), and further pages of transition 12 (FW, 419.11-428); 1933-1935.
Extradraft notes (Sheets III) for the additions to the first set of marked transition pages for Book III; Switzerland-Paris, Summer-Winter 1933. The specific chapter (Shaun-a, b, c, d = III.1,2,3,4) to which each note or group of notes refers is indicated (not always correctly) in pencil. From the inclusion among these notes of certain material used in Book II (see, for example, §1.0χ, §1.5+χ, II.2§3.7χ, and §8.12χ) and from Buffalo notebook evidence, it is likely that Joyce compiled the notes in 1933-1934; some (if not all) of the pages were sent to Harriet Shaw Weaver in July 1934.
Third set of transition 12 pages; pages of the “Ondt” fable from Two Tales transferred from the first set (see §1C.9) and subjected to further revision; further pages of the third set of transition 12 pages; keyed to duplicate typescript (see below) of first set and to typescript (here included) of second set of additions; fols. 301-302 were also used in §1A.12 and fol. 313 was also used in §1D.12); probably 1936.
First two leaves of above copy of transition 12, replaced before further revision by fols. 301-302 from the first set.
Typescript of additions made on the first set (see III§1A.12/1B.3/1C.9/1D.12) of transition 12 and Two Tales of Shem and Shaun (but note that not all of the additions were typed); probably 1936.
Duplicate typescript of first set of additions to transition 12; probably 1936.
Duplicate typescript of (missing) second set of additions to transition 12.
Typescript of final additions (to transition 12, 13, 15, and 18) of which the original holograph is missing; in random page sequence probably reflecting original holograph sheets; original Jan/Feb 1936. See above.
Late additions (missing); probably 1936.
Galleys 126-142 (first set) for Finnegans Wake . Dated by the printer 22 April 1937; revised 1937-1938.
Predraft versions of some of the overlay on the first set of galleys. See Sheet viii-14(b) et seq.; 1937-1938.
