Textual Notes

¹ Though the “The data” passage (FW: 57.16-61.28 [JJA: 45.138]) is first-drafted first, Joyce must have decided almost at once to precede it with the “cloud of witnesses” passage (FW: 48-50.32 [JJA 45: 137]), to which he then adds the “well-authenticated fact” passage (FW: 50.35-56.19 [JJA 45: 140, 142-3]) as a long overlay addition to level 1. At level 2 Joyce brings “Under rather a cloud . . .” to the margin, as he usually did when copying (or having typed) a new unit of the book (as do also the typescript at levels 3 and 5 and the fair copy at level 4). At this point, then, I think he intended chapter 3 to begin where in fact it does.

² There being a number of index marks after “Osti” on level 11 (and the other two galley levels), I think it almost certain that the dropping of the comma was a typesetter's error as he made the changes called for in the revisions, rather than a conscious choice by whoever checked the page proofs. This is the more likely since it is restored in the Buffalo Errata.

³ In his overlay draft on level 9, Joyce begins his parenthetical clause, “he began . . . Animandovites”, with an open parenthesis but ends it with a semicolon, a simple inadvertence. The correction, by change of the semicolon to a close parenthesis at the end, is a rare instance of something we can be quite sure was correction on the page proof.
