Note 114 — PREFACE. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The MS. has “we,” which the scribe several times writes instead of “wel.” But “wel” is a manifest blunder, since “iuel” is meant. Cf. l. 2505.
115 The author has here omitted to tell us that Havelok, at the desire of his wife, invades England. See the note.
116 Cf. l. 2599.
117 Printed “alinlaz” in the former edition. The first stroke of the u is longer than the second, and the tail of the x in the line above converts the second downstroke of the u into an apparent i.
118 Cf. l. 1112.
