Excerpt from Mandeville's Travels, Vol. 1: Translated From the French; Edited From Ms. Cotton Titus C. XVI, in the British Museum; Text The introduction and notes, in which the reasons for re - editing the Cotton ms. Of Mandeville with hardly any emendations will be fully stated, are reserved for a later volume. For the present, it may be stated that the editor's choice lay between two principal manuscripts, the Cotton ms., first edited in 1725 and since then frequently reprinted from that edition, and the Egerton ms, edited with full commentary for the Roxburghe Club by Sir George Warner Imperfect as the Cotton version is, it adheres very closely to the French original, as represented in Sir George Warner's anglo-french text, and in two Brussels mss. Copied by the present editor. Its mistakes are to a great extent due to the anonymous English translator. They exemplify the way in which the growth of literary Middle English was influenced by French phras'eology, and they are traceable to three main causes (l) the original French book, and a fortiori its Englisher, is quite inaccurate in its geography (2) the Englisher followed a faulty manuscript (3) he was very imperfectly acquainted with its language, and very slipshod in his grammar. On the whole, his method was that of a schoolboy, who follows his author literally, without much attention to sense or idiom.
