| Summary: | This article contains three different parts: first, it presents and analyzes the main scholarship related to the edition of the text of the The Mirror of Simple Souls (Speculum simplicium animarum / Le Mirouer des simples ames) by the heretic beguine from Hainaut Marguerite dicta Porete (d. 1310). It demonstrates that despite the publication of the 1985 bilingual edition by Romana Guarnieri and Paul Verdeyen, the manuscripts of the French and Latin Continental traditions need to be examined afresh from a material point of view. Second, it describes each of the codices, gathering the information that already exists in each case, adding new findings which come from direct examination, and classifying these manuscripts according to origin, date and use. Afterwards, since each one possesses marginalia, the article places special emphasis upon analysis and commentary from the point of view of this annotation. It posits that it is essential to establish not only diverse typologies of notes in terms of their functional relationship with the main text (some of them comment, while others evaluate or guide the reader’s access to the main allegorical discourse), but also to understand how these marginalia were conceived from the perspective of the history of reading and the production of the manuscripts. Third, it provides a transcription of the whole corpus of marginalia, cross-referencing the contents of the margins of the manuscripts with the 1986 Corpus Christianorum text. |
