The chief prose works of the fifteenth century in France, by common consent, are the long pseudo-chivalric romance entitled Le Petit Jehan de Saintré, the satire on women called Les Quinze Joyes de Mariage and the collection of tales known as Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles. The author of the first work alone names himself: it is Antoine de la Sale, a native of Provence, known also as the author of several didactic works, La Salade, La Salle, Le Réconfort, etc. The author of the Quinze Joyes has hidden his identity in a riddle which has not yet been satisfactorily deciphered. Not even a hint as to the author or editor of the Cent Nouvelles is contained in the manuscript. Led astray by an erroneous interpretation of the riddle, Pottier in 1830 ascribed the Quinze Joyes to La Sale. Le Roux de Lincy did the same for the Cent Nouvelles, in 1841. The first scientific attempt to prove these ascriptions was made by L. Stern in 1870. Stern sought to establish La Sale's authorship of the Cent Nouvelles by a comparison of certain details of style and by the fact, noticed more in detail later, that a “conte” addressed to La Sale appears as one of the hundred tales. This was followed immediately by the paper of E. Gossart, which gave special attention to the Quinze Joyes. Gossart showed that La Sale, in La Salle and in Saintré, had made use of St. Jerome's paraphrase of Theophrastus, also cited in the prologue of the Quinze Joyes. However, as M. Raynaud has pointed out, this epistle of Jerome, with that of Valerius, also cited in the Quinze Joyes, was the chief source of most of the diatribes against marriage in the Middle Ages.

^{page 435 note 7} I have unfortunately not been able to obtain the recent dissertations of Soelter (Greifswald, 1902) and Dressier (Greifswald, 1903) on the St. Petersburg and Chantilly mss. respectively. I have, however, partly compared the text of the Jannet edition with that of the editio princeps, lately reprinted by Heuckenkamp (Halle, 1901). The latter text is much shortened and somewhat rejuvenated (que que becomes quoi que, preposition o omitted, more frequent use of the subject-pronoun, etc.), but otherwise the syntactical peculiarities established for the Jannet text hold good for it also.

^{page 435 note 1} I am of the opinion that henceforth all syntactical studies should adopt the divisions of Meyer-Lübke in volume iii of the Romanische Grammatik. If, in this paper, I have followed the older grouping by parts of speech, it has been solely for convenience of reference to the preceding study by Schmidt.

^{page 435 note 2} I believe that the prevalence of the modern rule in C is due mostly to the fact that it is more popular in style and has fewer literary pretensions than P or Q. The use of the inflected gerund, in Old and Middle French, was more or less a Latinism; cf. Vogels, loc. cit., p. 535.

^{page 435 note 3} The sentence: 112, l'amour de ses enfans est oublié, is doubtful, owing to the change of gender of amour.

^{page 435 note 1} The most noteworthy differences in usage are those which affect the partitive article, the subject pronouns, the tonic object pronouns, the demonstrative pronouns, the reflexive verbs, the rules for agreement of verbs and perfect participles, the negative adverbs, and the word-order.

^{page 435 note 2} Cf. Raynaud, Romania, xxxi, 538 ff.

^{page 435 note 1} Namely, in the use of the indefinite article, the interrogative inversion of pronouns, the indicative in concessive clauses, the imperfect subjunctive in conditional sentences, and the employment of the forms que que, adverbial mais, trop, endroit, environ, o, puisque, and lack of beaucoup.

^{page 435 note 2} Namely, in the use of relatives, of neuter interrogatives, of the indefinites quant, tant, the word-order of object pronouns, and the forms nesun, rien, and meshuy.
