INTRODUCTION.


The work now for the first time reprinted from Caxton’s 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 Hatfield’s 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 about 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 Caxton’s 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
1875[1], from a MS. in the Bibliothèque Nationale.

    [Footnote 1: _Le Livre des Mestiers: Dialogues français-flamands
    composés au XIV^e siècle par un maître d’école de la ville de
    Bruges_. Paris: Librairie Tross.]

The text of Caxton’s 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. Caxton’s 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_. Caxton’s ‘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 Caxton’s _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,
Caxton’s 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.

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. Caxton’s 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 there--the
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
Caxton’s 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 Caxton’s 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 most properly applicable (pp.
24-44 of Caxton’s 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 Caxton’s 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
column--with 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 Caxton’s 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
Caxton’s 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 Caxton’s English was influenced by his Flemish original.

In the present edition Caxton’s text has been literally reproduced,
except that obvious misprints are corrected (the original readings being
given in the marginal notes[1]), 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.

    have been corrected without remark.]




NOTES.


3^17. 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.

3^32-4^7. Not in Michelant.

4^8. The French should no doubt read _quil y ait_, as in Michelant, but
Caxton translates the erroneous reading.

8^36. There is some mistake here. Michelant’s text has _cavecheul_,
bed’s head.

8^39-10^6. Michelant’s text is here quite different, enumerating the
parts of the body and the articles necessary for the toilet.

13^19. _Confite_ is a misreading on Caxton’s part for _confire_,
comfrey; Michelant has the right word.

15^31. _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.

16^1-17^19. This interesting portion of the dialogue is not in
Michelant.

18^18. _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.

18^26-19^10. The names of English towns in this list are added by
Caxton.

22^14-25^9. The enumeration of ecclesiastical and civil dignitaries is
much more full here than in Michelant’s text, but it is probable that
Caxton had before him an amplified copy of the original work, as the
mention of the pope’s residence at Avignon obviously cannot have been
inserted by him. The names of English bishoprics, however, are most
likely added by Caxton.

24^6. _Bogars_ in the French column (rendered by _lewd freris_, i.e. lay
brothers) appears to be a mistake for _Begars_, Beghards.

26^37. _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.’

29^12. _Byledyng_ is an attempt at literal interpretation of the French
_deduit_, delight.

29^13. _Serouge (serourge)_ is properly ‘brother-in-law’; it is not
clear whether Caxton’s rendering _cosen alyed_ is a mistranslation, or
whether the French word was used at Bruges in the extended sense.

30^4-6. 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.

30^30-33. Michelant’s text omits these lines, to the manifest injury of
the sense.

35^23-25. Caxton seems here to have found his MS. illegible: Michelant’s
text has ‘Fremius [? read _Fremins_] ses voisins Dist qu’el vault bien
son argent.’

37^8-30. This emphatic praise of the writer’s craft is not in Michelant;
probably it expresses Caxton’s own sentiments.

38^36. _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 Caxton’s original,
though it is not in Michelant’s text. Caxton’s account of the
bookseller’s 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.

44^17. _Formaketh_, literally adopted from the Flemish _vermaect_,
repairs.

44^26. _Filleule_ is god-daughter, not ‘daughter.’ The Flemish has
_dochterkine_, which, though literally = ‘little daughter,’ was used for
‘god-daughter.’

46^1. 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.

50^22. From this line to the end seems to be an addition by Caxton.

Format of the e-text:

The page numbers shown as bracketed [Sidenotes] refer to Caxton. French
and English lines were printed in parallel columns; they are shown here
in pairs, with different indentation. Line numbers are in EETS-standard
multiples of 4. In the original book, variations in line number were for
mechanical reasons such as unusually long lines or to avoid collision
with line-end notes; they have been regularized for this e-text. To
preserve line numbering, all line breaks have been retained.

Numbered footnotes were printed in the nearest available space. For
the e-text they have generally been moved to the end of the phrase or
sentence. Numbering is unchanged; on pages with multiple notes, the
French (left) side was numbered before the English (right) side,
leading to some apparent inconsistencies.

Boldface initials are shown with a single + before the word; large drop
capitals are shown with two ++. Mid-word italics, representing expanded
contractions, are shown in {braces}. Elsewhere, +boldface+ and _italics_
are shown conventionally. Superscripts are shown with carets ^.

Except for [Sidenote] and similar markers, single brackets are in the
original.
