KLEINE PUBLICATIONEN AUS DER AUCHINLECK-HS.

III [Vgl. bd. VII p. 101 ff. Ich benutze diese gelegenheit, um nachzutragen, dass zu II, C v. 105 f. fast wörtlich stimmt Athelston (Rel. ant. II p. 85 ff.) p. 90, v. 5 f.:

Sche may nowȝt out off chaumbyr wyn, To speke with non ende of here kyn.

] . Zwei fragmente von King Richard.

Diese stücke stehen auf den beiden letzten blättern der Bd. VII p. 178 und 190 erwähnten Laing'schen fragmente der Auchinleck-hs. [Wenn ich bd. VII p. 190 gesagt habe, es existirten nur zwei facsimiles aus der Auchinleck-hs., so übersah ich das in Michel's Horn et Rimenhild vor p. 341 stehende, welches den anfang von Horn Childe bietet.] , welche sich jetzt im besitze der universitätsbibliothek in Edinburg befinden und mir durch die güte des herrn oberbibliothekar Small zugänglich waren. Sie sind noch ungedruckt und als bruchstücke der ältesten hs. des gedichtes für eine kritische ausgabe unentbehrlich. Die blätter sind theilweise sehr abgerieben und in folge dessen die lesung vielfach unsicher. Wer an einem hellen tage meinen abdruck mit der hs. collationirt, wird hie und da gewiss noch zu befriedigerenden resultaten gelangen.

Nachwort. Nachdem in neuester zeit diese blätter durch herrn oberbiblio∣thekar Small auf chemischem wege gereinigt worden, hat mein freund, cand. med. Karl Marx in Edinburg die grosse güte gehabt, eine correctur meines abdruckes mit der hs. zur seite zu lesen, und hat dabei an einer anzahl stellen mehr ent∣ziffert, als mir seiner zeit gelingen wollte. Wenn trotzdem der künftige heraus∣geber des gedichtes auch seinerseits noch eine collation vornähme, so könnte diese mühwaltung für die feststellung des textes nur förderlich sein.
