Chapter 3, level 5+*

Archive 45: xiv, suggests that “It is probably from a neater copy of this typescript [level 5] that transition 3 was printed.”  Many unauthorized differences between levels 5 and 6, many additions made to level 5 which are not carried forward to level 6 (suggesting they were made after the final typescript was sent to the printer), and many level 5 overlays in Giorgio Joyce's hand and green ink for which we lack Joycean holograph (suggesting that Joyce added them on the missing typescript and Giorgio copied them back to level 5 in the effort to square them), all strongly suggest that such a typescript was prepared and sent to the printer. See my article in Genetricksling Joyce (Amsterdam, 1999), for more details.

Note that two pages of such a final typescript would, as themselves retypings of level 5+ pages, be designated 5‡*, q.v.

Note that, as with the similarly probably missing typescript in chapter 2, such a typescript for transition 3 ought under the Archive system to have a whole numbered revision level, but that we choose not to disrupt the numbering system in such a case.
