Summary

9 MSS: A (27r-v) Marcabrus, C (177r) Marcabru (C Reg. marc e bru), J (13v and 14v) no attribution, K (102v) Marcabruns, N(269v-270r) no heading, R (5r) marc e bru, T(205r-v) Marcabus, a1 (311-312) Marcabrus, d (302r) Marcabrus

In addition to stanzas x and y, T contains an extra four lines, between 38 and 39 in our edition, generating one six-line stanza (8a) and a further four-line stanza (8b, see below, after the notes to the main edition). Its additional material is presented in a minimally edited form.

In J parts of the text are found dispersed amongst the coblas esparsas. Stanza I is on f0 13v, presented as an individual cobla. On f0 14v 7–10 and 17–18 appear together as an individual, cobla, stanza V as another, and stanza IV as another . The heading cobla precedes I, V and IV. The cobla beginning with line 7 is indented, with the rabricator’s initial, but has no heading or line separating it from the pièce above.

Analysis of the manuscripts

ACKNR contain a number of common errors: the interversion of lines 40 and 42, plus errors in 7 (desviat a, also in j), 15 (the omission of per, also in T), 17 (met), and possibly 32 (see the note) and 36 (bedoi). In 3, the diffraction in ACKNR suggests they may derive from a hypermetric ‘Lo segles non cug dure gaire’ (see the note). The ACKNR group subdivides into AKN and CR: AKN share an error in 1, while CR have common errors in 3, 35 (res), and 42 (cant), and as one might expect, often converge against other readings (14, 15, 25, 32, and so on).

JTa1 show some common features (see 3, 17, 25) though are individually highly distinctive. For similarities in Tal see 11, 15, 16, 31, 32, 33, 36, and the sequence of 40 and 42. J and Tshow further affinities to each other in 10 (error), 17,19, 20, 29. Affinities between T and CR in 4, 5, 28 and 29 may well be coincidental; compare also RT in 18. The fact that T shares the same error as ACKNR in 15 suggests that the ACKNR. tradition was one of the sources from which T was confected.

a1 contains a few errors (12, 15, 21, 30 and 35); its isolated variants in 2, 23 and 25 are trivial.
