analysisverbs
  • This electronic publication includes two short texts from the Didot manuscript that contains Daurel et Beton. Chabaneau considers only the second of these to have been composed originally in Gascon. In fact, both seem to be adapted versions of Occitan poems, but the language is so thoroughly Gascon that these texts seemed to merit inclusion here.

  • In the first of these texts the scribe paid very little attention to metrical considerations in producing his Gascon version. Since the interest of these texts in this context is linguistic, not literary, those corrections suggested by Meyer in the interest of metrical concerns have not been adopted. Only the emendations that are clearly necessary for grammatical purposes or for reasons of comprehension have been incorporated. Readers who are interested in these texts as literary objects should consult the original publication. A number of corrections from Chabaneau’s review of the book in Revue des Langues Romanes 20 (1881), 246–260 have been incorporated here; they are indicated in the text.

    Meyer suggests an origin in our eastern zone, based on both external and internal criteria. Chabaneau, who is more aware of variation in Gascon, suggests the western area.

    For these texts, line numbers are those given by Meyer in his edition, not those of the position on the printed page. In the database, page numbers have been converted to Arabic numerals.

    Explanation of editorial principles


  • Emendations and modifications have been indicated with an underline; a pop-up annotation provides the original reading and the name of the editor responsible for the change.
  • Gaps of various kinds are indicated by [...], and a pop-up annotation furnishes an explanation, where one is available.
  • Passages that are not in Gascon are indicated in blue.
  • Passages whose readings are uncertain are italicized. Strike-throughs in the ms. are presented as such here, and scribal additions (in the margins, for example) are given as italicized text in brackets.
  • Numbers in the left margin indicate page and line numbers in the original publication.
