Walter Map's De Nugis Curialium, which is preserved in a unique manuscript of the latter part of the fourteenth century, has been twice edited; in 1850 by Thomas Wright, and in 1914 most admirably by Dr. Montague Rhodes James. It is apparent, even to the casual reader, that the work was not written continuously from beginning to end, but was redacted from fragments composed at various times and at various degrees of leisure; both editors, however, assume that Map himself arranged the fragments and published the book substantially as it now stands, though Dr. James fully appreciates the formlessness of the work, and admits that “the plan … . is to seek.”
1 This study is a revision of a chapter in the thesis submitted by me in 1915 for the degree of doctor of philosophy at Harvard University.

11 Giraldus Cambrensis regularly wrote “Mapus” (see indexes to his Works in the Rolls Series). Hue de Rotelande (Ipomédon, ed. Kolbing and Koschwitz, pp. vi-vii and 11), Map's Westbury charter (Wright, Latin Poems commonly attributed to Walter Mapes, p. xxix), the St. Peter's charter (Cartularium S. Petri Gloucestriae, v. ii, p. 146), the two Flaxley charters (A. W. Crawley-Boevey, Cartulary of the Abbey of Flaxley, pp. 35, 162-63, 230-31), the entry in the Close Rolls (Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum, ed. T. D. Hardy, 1833, v. i, p. 106), the Pipe Rolls (see indexes to years 19, 24 and 31 Henry II), the Magna Vita 8. Hugonis (ed. J. F. Dimock, p. 280), and Ralph de Diceto (ed. Stubbs, v. ii, p. 150) all give “Map.” The same spelling is used for the Wormesley Maps (H. L. D. Ward, Catalogue of Romances, v. i, pp. 736 ff.), and the contemporary Map in the Liber Vitae of Durham (ed. Stevenson, p. 19). The erased name in this last place is “Maph”; and the Invectio of Bothewald gives the name “Walterum Mat” (Wright, Latin Poems, p. xxxv).

29 Of course, if Map were editor, he might have written the title; I rely on the other evidence that he was not editor of De Nugis.

32 Dist. i, cap. xxvi, xxviii recapitulate cap. xvi, xvii (dnc, James, pp. 25-27, 54-56); and the battle of Brenneville is treated on pp. 218 and 228. But these repetitions are within the limits of one composition, either written continuously, or arranged by Map from bits written at about the same time; the second occurrence in each case refers explicitly back to the former.

36 The composition is not continuous between the several articles throughout cap. xvi-xxviii (dnc, James, pp. 25-56) which deal with religious orders; with cap. xxviii, however, it becomes continuous, and is so through p. 59 (cap. xxx), where the above mentioned reference occurs.

page 94 note 12 Gilbert Foliot was Bishop of London from April 28, 1163, until his death, February 18, 1187 (Radulphus de Diceto, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Series, i, p. 309, ii, p. 47, Benedictus, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Series, ii, p. 5), Baldwin was Bishop of Worcester from August 10, 1180, to December 16, 1184, when he became Elect of Canterbury; Dr. James's date (p. xxiv) obviously refers to his consecration as archbishop, not to his election (cf. Benedictus, i, p. 321, Annales Monastici, ed. Luard, Rolls Series, i, p. 52, ii, p. 241, iv, p. 384). Bartholomew was Bishop of Exeter from 1161 until his death, December 15, 1184 (Diceto, i, p. 304, Annales Monastici, i, p. 537, ii, p. 243, iv, p. 385, Roger de Hoveden, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Series, ii, p. 289, Stubbs, Registrum Sacrum Anglicanum, p. 31). Dr. James's dates are not quite accurate (p. xxiv).
page 94 note 13 I infer that Dr. James is misled from the following facts: in his table of “notes of time” in De Nugis (p. xxiv) he records none of the indications that Henry ii was alive except that on p. 15, 11. 25-26, which he qualifies, “Possibly in Henry ii's lifetime”; he does record the mention of Henry's death which occurs in the interpolated lines here under consideration; and on p. xxviii he expresses his opinion that Dist. iv is the earliest part of De Nugis.

page 94 note 15 Radulphus de Diceto, ii, pp. 41-42, Benedictus, i, pp. 345, 353. The same anecdote is found in Magna Vita S. Hugonis, Rolls Series, p. 176.
page 94 note 16 dnc, James, p. 253, 11. 26 ff.: “Et cum ipse fere solus in hac valle miserie iusticie sit minister acceptus, sub alis eius venditur et emitur. Ipsi tamen fit a ministris iniquis reuerencia maior quam Deo; quia quod ei non possunt abscondere recte facient inuit[at]i; quod autem Deo manifestum sciunt, peruertere non verentur; Deus enim serus est ultor, hic velox. Non in omnes loquor iudices, sed in maiorem et [in] insaniorem partem.”
page 99 note 1 Dr. James (p. xxvii) seems to force a connection: “The idea of ‘making a good end’ by retiring from the court to live in peace, suggests the stories of monks who left the cloister.” There is in the text no indication of this; and since the ideas are directly contrary, I do not feel the force of Dr. James's suggestion.

page 100 note 1 Gervase of Canterbury, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Series, i, pp. 388-89, says the news of the capture of Jerusalem reached the Pope before his death, which befell October 19, 1187, and “in brevi” the news of both events came to England.

page 101 note 9 dnc, James, p. 39, 1. 8.
page 101 note 10 dnc, James, p. 47, 11. 3-10. Judged by the chroniclers, Map exaggerates the looting, which was probably small compared with that suffered at the hands of the Young Henry and Geoffrey of Britanny; no other event of Henry's reign, however, can be here referred to. See Benedictus, Rolls Series, i, p. 303, Geoffrey of Vigeois in Labbé, Novae Bibliothecae, Paris, 1657, ii, pp. 332-37, and F. Marvaud, Histoire des vicomtes de Limoges, i, pp. 244-57.
page 104 note 1 Dr. James writes (p. xxviii): “The story of three remarkable hermits, dragged in rather awkwardly, leads over into Distinctio ii, whereof the first seven chapters deal with good men of his own time.” There is nothing, however, to indicate this connection; formally the breach is perfect.

page 111 note 3 Dr. James, p. 269, suggests that Appollonides is “possibly Henry ii,” or some other “King (of England or France) contemporary with Map.” The reviewer in the Athenaeum (February 16, 1915, p. 116) prefers William the Lion, or the Count of Flanders; and Dr. Webb, in the Classical Review (xxix, pp. 121-23), prefers Richard i. The difficulty with all these is in Map's words, “Hunc regem uidi et noui et odi,” and in the cattle-driving.

page 114 note 1 dnc, James, p. 237, 11. 11-12; Map's statement that Henry ii reigned 36 years is incorrect, but the important point is that Henry was dead. dnc, p. 238, 11. 17-21, Geoffrey now Archbishop of York, i. e. 1191, or later; the great quarrel with his canons came in 1193, cf. Roger de Hoveden, Rolls Series, i, pp. 222-31. dnc, p. 241, 11. 9-14, assassination of Conrad de Montferrat (April 28, 1192, cf. Radulphus de Diceto, ii, p. 104), and the accusations against Richard Cœur de Lion. dnc, p. 241, 11. 15 ff.; Dr. James, p. xxvi, declares, “Henry ii seems to be still living”; but I should say that “fuit” in 1. 16 sets the time of composition after Henry's death, the subsequent present tenses being pictorial. dnc, p. 246, 11. 18 ff.; Dr. James p. xxvi, thinks Geoffrey is “perhaps not yet Archbishop”; but, p. 246, 1. 20, “ut est pretactum” refers back to p. 238, where he was called Archbishop.

A. Mai, Classici Auctores e Vaticanis Codicibus, iii, pp. 46, 102. For tracing the source of Map's description, I am indebted to Dr. James.

page 115 note 27 dnc, James (and Wright), pp. 140-41: he declares “this little book” was written in Henry ii's reign, and that now he has mourned Henry's death two years.
page 115 note 28 dnc, James, p. 64: “Duo premisi Dei misericordiam et iudicium continencia, que non solum non deleetant, sed tediosa sunt, et expectantur sicut expetuntur fabule poetarum, uel earum simie;” Wright, p. 68. These words plainly show that fragments of De Nugia were submitted to friends while the book was in preparation. Fragments such as the Valerius, the Incidencia de Monachia, and possibly all Dist. iii were not originally intended for De Nugis, and circulated independently perhaps.

page 115 note 35 dnc, James, pp. xiii-xiv. In regard to Dr. James's citations: Epistle 14 of Peter of Blois was doubtless written about 1175, soon after Peter left the court to become Archdeacon of Bath; Map's passage, as I have shown, was not written until 1181, and was, I believe, suggested by Peter's letter “to his friends, the clerks of the King's chapel.” Higden's reference is pretty surely to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Walter, Archdeacon of Oxford; its position in Higden's list indicates as much.

page 115 note 54 I have analyzed this story, and compared its episodes with historical, and quasi-historical, sources; the result I hope to publish soon.
