Abstract
The reference to Huitace in this chapter is found only in one manuscript, F45. The manuscripts in λ2 also share a number of minor variant readings, such as replacing 'mie' with 'pas' and 'avoient' with 'en avoient'. These variations can be regarded as scribal variations. But the fact that these manuscripts share these instances in common, in addition to the more significant variant they share, shows that these manuscripts form a distinctive group for this chapter. The λ1 manuscripts also form a distinct group for this chapter, but with fewer readings that link manuscripts within the group. F57 and F73 are unique among all manuscripts in replacing 'parrastres' [stepfather] with 'autres' (others). Few variants among the alpha group manuscripts exist for the chapter, with only F31 and F35 containing a significant number. As is the case with the other sample chapters, these two late thirteenth-century manuscripts are closely related.Keywords: Huitace; scribal variations; stepfather; thirteenth-century manuscripts
