2-88.
_Jehan de Paris._ Ed. Montaiglon. Paris, 1874.
_Petit Jehan de Saintre._ Ed. Guichard. Paris, 1843.
_Roman de la Rose._ Ed. F. Michel. Paris, 1864.
_Roman de Renart._ The completest (but not a complete) edition of the
different parts is that of Meon and Chabaille (5 vols., Paris, 1826-35).
The main or "Ancien" Renart was re-edited by E. Martin (3 vols., Paris
and Strasbourg, 1882-87).
CHAPTER VI
Rabelais. Editions of the original very numerous: and of Urquhart's
famous English translation more than one or two recently. The cheapest
and handiest of the former, _without_ commentary, is that in the
Collection Garnier. Of commentaries and books _on_ Rabelais there is no
end.
CHAPTER VII
_Amadis_ Romances. No modern reprints of Herberay and his followers.
Southey's English versions of _Amadis_ and _Palmerin_ are not difficult
to obtain.
Desperiers, B. _Contes et Joyeuse Devis_, etc. Ed. Lacour. 2 vols.
Paris, 1866.
Marguerite de Navarre, The _Heptameron_. Editions again numerous,
including cheap ones in the collections.
_Moyen de Parvenir, Le._ Ed. Jacob. Paris, 1860. (For Helisenne de
Crenne see text, and Reynier--_v. inf._ on next chapter.)
CHAPTER VIII
The general histories and bibliographies of M. Reynier and Herr Koerting,
as well as the monographs of MM. Chatenay, Magne, and Reure, will be
found registered in the notes to text, and references to them in the
index. The original editions are also given in text or note. Modern
reprints--except of the fairy stories and one or two others--are almost
entirely wanting. For the Greek Romances see above under Chapter I. The
_Astree_, after its first issues, appeared as a whole in 1637 and 1647,
the latter being the edition referred to in "Add. and Corr." But the
later eighteenth-century (1733) version of the Abbe Souchay is said to
be "doctored." I have not thought it worth while to look up either this
or the earlier abridgment (_La Nouvelle Astree_ of 1713), though this
latter is not ill spoken of. For the _Cabinet des Fees_ (41 vols.,
Geneva, 1785-89) see text.
CHAPTER IX
Sorel. _Francion_ is in the Collection Garnier, _Le Berger Extravagant_
and _Polyandre_ only in the originals.
Scarron. _Le Roman Comique._ The 1752 edition (3 vols.) is useful, but
there are reprints.
Furetiere. _Le Roman Bourgeois._ Collection Jannet et Picard, 1854.
Cyrano de Bergerac. _Voyages_, etc. Ed. Jacob. Paris, 1858.
Mme. de la Fayette. _
