chapter 2, sections 2 and 3, missing final typescript for transition
2
Because two additions do not appear on the level 6 proof nor in transition
2, despite Joyce's having sent instruction for their addition to Sylvia
Beach, and because those additions are added to transition 2 pages
at level 8, the Archive speculation that “It is possible that a further
typescript was made incorporating the changes from this one [level 5] and
including the missing Contact Collection pages (1.5) marked for the
printer of transition 2” is almost certainly correct. See textual
notes on “last of the stewards, peut-être” (FW: 41.36) and “our maypole
once more where he rose of old” (FW: 44.04-5).
Note that if such a full typescript was prepared, it should have a full levelnumber
of its own (presumably level 6*), but as with other similar cases the evidence,
while strong, is not certain enough, and the consequences for the rest of
the numbering system would be so great, that we do not propose it, but accept
the Archive's 5+ (with our star indicating it is missing).
