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 Note that “button”, corrected on level 6 but that correction unattended to on level 7, appears correctly as “buttom” on level 8, suggesting some extradraft instruction.

³ “in”, wrong on levels 6 and 7, is correctly “is” at level 8, changed probably in some extradraft instruction.
