erever written, and by
whom written, is in a far from perfect condition. Though the care of Dom
Gregory had encased it in a wrapping of purple-colored vellum, it still
seems to have suffered from time and careless treatment. Probably its
greatest injuries date from that period when, during the stress of the
French Revolution, the treasures of the abbey library were hurriedly
concealed in underground cellars, and suffered no little from damp and
dirt during the period of their incarceration. Many portions of the
narrative are either wholly absent or exist in such a fragmentary
condition that, like a corrupt Greek text, they have to be restored by
the desperate process of guesswork. Those, therefore, who thirst for the
exact text of the tale, must either wait in patience for Professor
Pawling's long promised edition, or satisfy their curiosity by a visit
to the Abbey of Bonne Aventure in Poitou.
