APPENDIX 1
Manuscripts and Lines Collated and Critical Editions Consulted

As indicated in the article's main body, the default choices for each text were
one-hundred-line groups shared by Thornton's copy with other witnesses at the
beginning and end of each text. Those instances where the number of lines ex-
ceeds two hundred, excepting the case of Richard Coer de Lyon, reflect the need to
compensate for lines omitted in the Thornton texts.

Although a preliminary collation was attempted using Ralph Hanna's edition of the
Awntyrs, Robert Gates' recording of variant readings has been preferred here as it appears to
be much fuller (see Ralph Hanna III, The Awntyrs off Arthure at the Terne Wathelyn [Manchester:
Manchester Univ. Press, 1974]). While this may simply be a result of the differing apparatus
conventions each editor employs, it seemed prudent to work from Gates' edition.

The readings of Huntington Library 14615 (STC 18779), a late witness showing signs
of extensive alteration, were consulted but not collated.
