Abstract

Jean Froissart wrote and rewrote his Chroniques over a period of several decades. We can reconstruct the genesis and development of the text from the surviving manuscript versions of each of the first three books of the Chroniques, although the chronology of these versions and their relationships to each other and to the underlying authorial texts are not yet fully understood. The recent identification of a manuscript containing BooksÂ II and III of the Chroniques in the library of the Seminary in Bruges (MSÂ 468) now further complements this picture. Codicologically the Bruges manuscript is related to the famous âRomeâ manuscript, which contains the latest authorial version of BookÂ I, and it may therefore belong to the same authorial revision campaign of the Chroniques. MSÂ 468 contains versions of the Chroniques that have not been transmitted elsewhere, including an unrecorded version of BookÂ II. While the text of BookÂ III in MSÂ 468 clearly represents the âsecondâ authorial redaction of BookÂ III, comparison with the only other known witness of that version (Paris, BnF, fr.Â 2650) suggests that the state of the text in the latter reflects a further authorial revision of the text as it is recorded in Bruges 468.
