INTRODUCTION.
THE work now for the first time reprinted from Caxtons original edition has been preserved in three copies. One of these is in the Library of Ripon Cathedral, another in the Spencer Library, now at Manchester, and the third at Bamborough Castle. A small fragment, consisting of pp. 17-18 and 27-28, is in the Bodleian Library. The text of the present edition is taken from the Ripon copy. I have not had an opportunity of seeing this myself; but a type-written transcript was supplied to me by Mr. John Whitham, Chapter Clerk of Ripon Cathedral, and the proofs were collated with the Ripon book by the Rev. Dr. Fowler, Vice-Principal of Bishop Hatfields Hall, Durham, who was kind enough to re-examine every passage in which I suspected a possible inaccuracy. It is therefore reasonable to hope that the present reprint will be found to be a strictly faithful representation of the original edition. The earlier bibliographers gave to the book the entirely inappropriate title of Instructions for Travellers. Mr. Blades is nearer the mark in calling it A Vocabulary in French and English, but, as it consists chiefly of a collection of colloquial phrases and dialogues, the designation adopted in the present edition appears to be preferable. As in other printed works of the same period, there is no title-page in the original edition, so that a modern editor is at liberty to give to the book whatever name may most accurately describe its character. The name of Caxton does not occur in the colophon, which merely states that the work was printed at Westminster; but the authorship is sufficiently certain from internal evidence. On the ground of the form of type employed, Mr. Blades inferred that the book was printed viabout 1483. However this may be, there are, as will be shown, decisive reasons for believing that it was written at a much earlier period. A fact which has hitherto escaped notice is that Caxtons book is essentially an adaptation of a collection of phrases and dialogues in French and Flemish, of which an edition was published by Michelant in 18751, from a MS. in the Bibliothque Nationale. The text of Caxtons original cannot, indeed, have been precisely identical with that of the MS. used by Michelant. It contained many passages which are wanting in the Paris MS., and in some instances had obviously preferable readings. Caxtons English sentences are very often servile translations from the Flemish, and he sometimes falls into the use of Flemish words and idioms in such a way as to show that his long residence abroad had impaired his familiarity with his native language. The French respaulme cet hanap, for instance, is rendered by spoylle the cup. Of course the English verb spoylle never meant to rinse; Caxton was misled by the sound of the Flemish spoel. Caxtons after the house, as a translation of aual la maison (throughout the house), is explicable only by a reference to the Flemish version, which has achter huse. The verb formaketh, which has not elsewhere been found in English, is an adoption of the Flemish vermaect (repairs). Another

Flemicism is Caxtons whiler (= while ere) for some time ago, in Flemish wilen eer. It is still more curious to find Caxton writing it en is not, instead of it is not; this en is the particle prefixed in Flemish to the verb of a negative sentence. As is well known, Caxtons translation of Reynard the Fox exhibits many phenomena of a similar kind. From all the circumstances, we may perhaps conclude that Caxton, while still resident in Bruges, added an English column to his copy of the French-Flemish phrase-book, rather as a sort of exercise than with any view to publication, and that he handed it over to his compositors at Westminster without taking the trouble to subject it to any material revision.
vii

The original work contains so many references to the city of Bruges that it is impossible to doubt that it was compiled there. According to Michelant, the Paris MS. was written in the first half of the fourteenth century. The MS. used by Caxton must itself have been written not later than the second decade of the fifteenth century; unless, indeed, it was an unaltered transcript from an older MS. The evidence on which this conclusion is based is somewhat curious. Caxtons text contains two passages in which the pope is spoken of as still resident at Avignon. Now the Babylonish captivity of the popes ended in 1378; and, even if we suppose that at Bruges the Avignon anti-popes were recognized by some persons to the very last, the latest date at which these passages could have been written is the year 1417. It is not easy to understand how it was possible for Caxton to leave uncorrected these references to a state of things which he must have known had long ceased to exist. The only explanation of the fact seems to be that, as has been suggested above, he sent his many years old MS. to the press without going over it again. It may be remarked that one of the Avignon passages does not occur in the text as printed by Michelant. As it would be absurd to suppose that it was introduced by Caxton himself, the inference is clear that his copy of the original work was fuller than that contained in the Paris MS. Probably Caxton may have added a few lines here and therethe mention of certain English towns and fairs on pp. 18-19, and that of English bishoprics on p. 23, for instance, were most likely inserted by him. But by far the greatest portion of the matter which is peculiar to Caxtons form of the dialogues may be confidently ascribed to his original, on account of the frequent occurrence of passages in which, while the French is quite correct, the English translation shows imperfect understanding of the sense. One of the most remarkable differences between Caxtons form of the dialogues and that which is preserved in the Paris MS. consists in the transposition of several of the sections in that portion of the work to which the title Le Livre des Mestiers is viiimost properly applicable (pp. 24-44 of Caxtons edition). In both versions the sections in this portion are arranged in the alphabetical order of the Christian names of the persons referred to; but the names connected with particular employments are not always the same in the two versions. Thus in Michelant the bowyer is called Filbert, in Caxton he is Guillebert; in Michelant the carpenter is Henri, in Caxton Lambert; in Michelant the tiler is Martin, in Caxton Lamfroy; and so on. The resulting transpositions render it somewhat difficult at first sight to perceive the

substantial identity of the matter in the two books. If an editor wished to print Caxtons text and that of the Paris MS. in parallel columns, he would need to have recourse to the ingenious device adopted by Professor Skeat in the Clarendon Press edition of the three recensions of Piers Plowman; that is to say, all the sections in which the names have been altered would have to be given twice over in each columnwith large print where they occur in their alphabetical place, and with small print opposite to the corresponding sections in the other text. It is hard to see why the person who made the later version followed by Caxton should have taken the trouble to alter the names and re-arrange the material in the new alphabetical order. One might almost suspect that the names were those of actual tradesmen in Bruges, and that the alterations represent changes that had taken place between the earlier and the later edition of the book. The French of the Paris MS. is the Picard dialect of the former half of the fourteenth century. The French of Caxtons book retains many of the original north-eastern forms, but is to a considerable extent modernized and assimilated to the literary language of a later period. Such etymological spellings as recepueur, debuoit, are common in Caxtons text, but rarely occur in Michelant. The following comparative specimen of the two versions will afford some notion of the orthographical and grammatical differences between them, and also of the degree in which Caxtons English was influenced by his Flemish original.

In the present edition Caxtons text has been literally reproduced, except that obvious misprints are corrected (the original readings being given in the marginal notes2), and that modern punctuation has been added for the sake of intelligibility. Where Caxton leaves a space for an illuminated initial (a small letter being printed in the middle to serve as a guide) I have used a large capital. The List of English Words at the end is intended to contain all the words that require any explanation, or are on any account noteworthy. The List of French Words, which I was unable to prepare on account of ill-health, has been compiled by Mr. Henry Littlehales. HENRY BRADLEY.

NOTES.

317. This corresponds with the beginning of the French-Flemish dialogues printed by Michelant. The preceding table of contents may have been added by Caxton himself.

332-47. Not in Michelant. 48. The French should no doubt read quil y ait, as in Michelant, but Caxton translates the erroneous reading. 836. There is some mistake here. Michelants text has cavecheul, beds head. 839-106. Michelants text is here quite different, enumerating the parts of the body and the articles necessary for the toilet. 1319. Confite is a misreading on Caxtons part for confire, comfrey; Michelant has the right word. 1531. Sera should be fera, as in Michelant; the sense is the abatement which you will make will cause it to be sold. Caxton attempts to translate the erroneous reading sera, but his translation makes no sense. 161-1719. This interesting portion of the dialogue is not in Michelant. 1818. It en is not = Flemish het en es niet. Evidently when this was written Caxton had become more familiar with Flemish than with his native language. 1826-1910. The names of English towns in this list are added by Caxton. 2214-259. The enumeration of ecclesiastical and civil dignitaries is much more full here than in Michelants text, but it is probable that Caxton had before him an amplified copy of the original work, as the mention of the popes residence at Avignon obviously cannot have been inserted by him. The names of English bishoprics, however, are most likely added by Caxton. 246. Bogars in the French column (rendered by lewd freris, i.e. lay brothers) appears to be a mistake for Begars, Beghards. 2637. Spoylle the cuppe. Another proof that Caxton had forgotten his English. The Flemish is spoel den nap, rinse the cup; the English spoil of course never had the sense to rinse. 2912. Byledyng is an attempt at literal interpretation of the French deduit, delight. 2913. Serouge (serourge) is properly brother-in-law; it is not clear whether Caxtons rendering cosen alyed is a mistranslation, or whether the French word was used at Bruges in the extended sense. 304-6. This reference to the truce between the English and the Scots is not, as might perhaps be thought, an insertion by Caxton. Michelant considers the truce in question to be that of the year 1340. 3030-33. Michelants text omits these lines, to the manifest injury of the sense. 3523-25. Caxton seems here to have found his MS. illegible: Michelants text has Fremius [? read Fremins] ses voisins Dist quel vault bien son argent. 378-30. This emphatic praise of the writers craft is not in Michelant; probably it expresses Caxtons own sentiments.
xii

3836. Enprintees, which Caxton amazingly renders enprinted, is doubtless a mistake for enpruntes, borrowed. The occurrence of this mistake shows that the passage must have been in Caxtons original, though it is not in Michelants text. Caxtons account of the booksellers stock is much fuller than that in Michelant, but apparently this is not due, as might naturally be supposed, to his own interest in the subject. 4417. Formaketh, literally adopted from the Flemish vermaect, repairs. 4426. Filleule is god-daughter, not daughter. The Flemish has dochterkine, which, though literally = little daughter, was used for god-daughter.

461. It is curious that the names beginning with S and T, which appear in Michelant, are omitted by Caxton. Possibly a leaf was missing in his original. 5022. From this line to the end seems to be an addition by Caxton.

End of Project Gutenberg's Dialogues in French and English, by William Caxton *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DIALOGUES IN FRENCH AND ENGLISH *** ***** This file should be named 29214-h.htm or 29214-h.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/2/9/2/1/29214/ Produced by Louise Hope, Greg Lindahl and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.

Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. works. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared

with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.net This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
