Stud., xxxvi, 371, says: “Was seitdem noch ergänzend gefunden wurde, ist geringfügig und betrifft in keinem falle etwa ein bei Child nicht vertretenes stück.” Add to the literature mentioned, Beiden, Mod. Phil., ii, 301-305; F. Sidgwick, Popular Ballads of the Olden Time.

^{page 144 note 1} Mr. Sidgwick has had communicated to him a fifth text from Bidford, near Stratford-on-Avon. I have not seen this but am informed that it reads “ lance ” instead of “ bridge ” and “ jordans ” instead of “ jerdins.”

^{page 153 note 1} Not improbably the story finds its ultimate suggestion in the Song of Songs 2. 8; “ ecce iste venit saliens in montibus, transiliens colles.” This passage was interpreted as applying to Christ at least as early as the time of Ambrose. See Cook, Philologische Studien, Festgabe für Eduard Sievers, 1896, pp. 27-29, and The Christ of Cynewulf, 1900, p. 143, for examples of this mystical use.

^{page 156 note 6} The analysis of ms. Grenoble given by Bonnard, Les traductions de la bible en vers français, 1884, pp. 181-193, leaves out (3) and (5), but apparently the latter is merely illegible in the ms. (See p. 187), while the latter may have been passed over in the summary.

^{page 156 note 7} Meyer's belief that the redaction of mss. Grenoble and Didot rather than of mss. Seiden and Cambridge is the original of the Middle English is open to some doubt for two reasons. The English ms. is at least as early as the French and perhaps older; in several places (vv. 77-80, 159-162, 233-236, etc.) it shows traces of rhymes “ quatre à quatre,” which Meyer tells us is the form of the second French redaction. The translation is rather clumsily, though vigorously, made. In a great number of instances (see Horstmann, pp. xlii ff.) the rhymes are faulty.

^{page 157 note 1} The appearance of this here in conjunction with the other two makes me more inclined to give credence to the ascription of it to De Infantia by the compiler of the Narrationes. See p. 153 above.

^{page 158 note 2} Certain rhymes like Late: mate: sate: satte (vv. 66-72 of ms. Add.), which are perfect in the Northern dialect, are bungled hopelessly in the Harleian copies. Furthermore, the completer form of the Northern version inclines one to the belief that it better represents the original. Landshoff's summary (pp. 17-33) of places where the Northern version is textually in the right makes the matter clearer.

^{page 158 note 3} The stories occur in the texts as follows: (1) The leap, Add. vv. 280-327; Harl. 2399, vv. 277-324; Harl, 3954, vv. 381-486. (2) The jug repaired, Add. vv. 328-341; Harl. 2399, vv. 325-339; Harl. 3954, vv, 345-357. (3) The jug suspended, Add. vv. 342-363; Harl. 2399, vv. 340-360; Harl. 3954, vv. 358-380.

H. Husk, Songs of the Nativity, pp. 91-94 (from a Gravesend broadside). These versions differ from that of Sandys and from one another in a good many lines.
