1.         “Placard VII” is written in the hand of a printer on the top of p. 51 (JJA 22.201). The instruction refers to the switch back to placards from page proofs. See the introduction to the placards-finder.

2.         Placards V–VII are paginated.

3.         Placard VII is a reset of PP 4.2.b.

 

 

“Calypso” (4) [top]

 

 

1.         “Placard VII” is written in the hand of a printer on the top of p. 51 (JJA 22.201). The instruction refers to the switch back to placards from page proofs. See the introduction to the placards-finder.

2.         “Placard IX” is written in the hand of a printer on the top of p. 67 (JJA 22.251).

3.         Placards VII–IX are paginated. Placard VII is a reset of PP 4.2.b.

4.         The page breaks of the following setting are marked by hand on PP 5.3.

5.         PP 5.4 appears on the odd-numbered pages of the Archive reproduction. The document at Texas comprises sixteen loose pages printed on one side only. Instead of printing a sheet on both sides, two sheets were printed on one side only, folded and opened.

 

 

“Lotus Eaters” (5) [top]

 

 

 

1.         Placards IX–XI are paginated. See the introduction to the placards-finder.

2.         The seventh and eighth pages of Placard X are blank. Joyce’s additions continue into this portion of the sheet.

3.         Placard XI has only four pages. There are no blanks, however, as only a half sheet was pulled.

4.         The page breaks of the following setting are marked by hand on PP 5.3.

5.         To judge from the line numbers, it appears that PP 6.1 does not follow directly on from PP 5.3. However, the first page of PP 6.1 has had a fragment of paper, measuring 13.0 x 5.7 cm, physically attached onto it (JJA 22.315). The original first line of the setting was “Poisons the ouly [sic] cure” (U 5.483, 081.14) which does indeed follow directly from PP 5.3’s last line “Clogs the pores or the phlegm” (U 5.483, 081.14). The fragment of paper attached to the proof extends the material covered to include U 5.471–483, 081.01–14. These twelve lines of text, as they appear on the attached paper, are a resetting of the marked-up end of Placard XI, which include the corrections and additions indicated on that placard. There is also some additional (now illegible) pencil writing beneath this additional proof. On 15 September 1921, Darantiere sent Joyce this additional text to coordinate the text between Placard XI and Gathering 6.

6.         The final word of text on the proof—“I”—is boxed off on PP 5.4 and written in hand on the first line of the next gathering, PP 6.2. With this change made, Gathering 5 ends at 080.37.

PP 5.4 appears on the odd-numbered pages of the Archive reproduction. The document at Texas comprises sixteen loose pages printed on one side only. Instead of printing a sheet on both sides, two sheets were printed on one side only, folded and opened.

 

“Hades” (6) [top]

 

 

1.         The last four pages of PP 6.1 are blank. Also, this is the first CSE level to comprise both document types.

 

 

“Aeolus” (7) [top]

 

 

1.         The seventh and eighth pages of Pl 15.ii are set incorrectly. The Archive reproduces the two in the correct order (JJA 18.075–76).

2.         The final page of Pl 13.iii is blank.

3.         PP 9.3+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating a number of revisions and additions on Gatherings 9, 11 and 13. The physical document is bundled in with PP 13.4 in the Archive and so clicking on “Marked Copy” links to PP 13.4+ in the page proof-finder. Joyce’s letter reads:

 

            Changements à faire si les pages indiquées

ne sont pas déjà tirées.

            p. 196, l 2 au lieu de “stated” imprimez “capped”

            p 162, l 10 après la parole “foodlift” ajoutez avant

le point “across his stained square of

newspaper.”

            p. 13^<1>2^, l 26 au lieu de “Gray” mettez “Grey” (JJA 23.363)

The letter is dated “11.X.21” (by the printer, one assumes) and its third instruction refers to PP 9.3 (the first and second changement are for PP 13.4—“Scylla and Charybdis”— and PP 11.4—“Lestrygonians”—respectively).

Several weeks earlier, in late August, Joyce had made an addition on Pl 14.ii for the printer: “Gregor Gray made the design for it” (JJA 18.50). The October letter corrects “Gray” to “Grey,” the surname of an artist listed in Thom’s 1904—Don Gifford with Robert J. Seidman “Ulysses” Annotated: Notes for James Joyce’s “Ulysses.” 2nd ed., rev. and enl. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988), p. 142—a change described as an authorial correction or revision at ‘a6’ of ‘a2’ in Gabler notation. PP 9.3 had already been marked Bon à tirer, returned and reset by 7 October. Rather than pull the gathering again and send it out to Joyce, the correction was made on this same document by a printer (JJA 23.092). Joyce obviously did not have PP 9.3 to hand when he wrote the note—the whole grounds of his writing to Darantiere—but he spotted the flaw while looking at PP 9.1. “Gray” appears on page 131, line 26 of the first setting of Gathering 9 (JJA 23.059). Perhaps it was then that he recalled the second setting because the change in page number from 131 to 132 matches with the appearance of “Gray” on PP 9.2 (though there it is on line 2 of page 132: JJA 23.076). One would imagine PP 9.2 was readily available when Joyce was writing the note—either the marked copy, assuming the ‘used up’ marked proofs were being returned to him, or a duplicate. Perhaps this second setting was simply overlooked.

 

 

“Lestrygonians” (8) [top]

 

 

 

1.         The fifth page of the placard has “19bis” written on the top of it (JJA 18.145). No such document was pulled.

2.         The pagination differs to that given in the Archive due to the restatement of several pages as PP 10.3+, PP 10.4 and PP 10.5.

3.         PP 10.3+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating an addition on Gathering 10. PP 10.3 was marked Bon à tirer, signed by Joyce and countersigned by Beach. Before the material was set Joyce sent a letter to the printers—sometime between 3–10 October (probably between 7–10 October). The letter reads:

 

La page 34 bis manqué

Inserez selon dépêche

            p. 146

            l. 16

apres “seagoose.” et avant “Wonder”

Swans from Anna Liffey ^<come> swim^ down here

sometimes to preen themselves. No accounting

for tastes. (JJA 23.141)

The letter arrived in time and Darantiere wrote “Attention! Montrer cette correction à Mr [d’Avout] avant de rouler” on the relevant page of PP 10.3 (JJA 23.140). The single page, with its PP 10.3 additions, was set and pulled and “SA”—Bernard d’Avout, perhaps?—copied Joyce’s addition onto it (JJA 23.142).

4.         PP 10.4 is a single page of proof and constitutes a resetting of the text of PP 10.3. The document is not recorded in the JJA. It is recorded by Gabler as “Lestrygonians” level 6 (see Ulysses: A Critical and Synoptic Edition 320.22–24 for the swan addition made to it). The single page was again pulled, incorporating the addition in “SA’s” hand and dated. This is PP 10.5 (pace the Archive) and Gabler level 7. Cf. Gathering 19.5 for “Cyclops” (JJA 25.97–116) and Gathering 30.2.b for “Circe” (JJA 26.171–186).

5.         This single page setting does not contain an Imprimerie but, as a reset of PP 10.4, must be PP 10.5. The Archive, perhaps following Texas’ material arrangement, places it with PP 10.3. Cf. Gabler’s treatment of PP 19.6 and PP 35.3.

6.         PP 11.4+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating a number of revisions and additions on Gatherings 9, 11 and 13. The physical document is bundled in with PP 13.4 in the Archive and so clicking on “Marked Copy” links to PP 13.4+ in the page proof-finder. Joyce’s letter reads:

 

            Changements à faire si les pages indiquées

ne sont pas déjà tirées.

            p. 196, l 2 au lieu de “stated” imprimez “capped”

            p 162, l 10 après la parole “foodlift” ajoutez avant

le point “across his stained square of

newspaper.”

            p. 13^<1>2^, l 26 au lieu de “Gray” mettez “Grey” (JJA 23.363)

The letter is dated “11.X.21” (by the printer, one assumes) and its second instruction refers to PP 11.4 (the first and third changement are for PP 13.4—“Scylla and Charybdis”— and PP 9.3—“Aeolus”—respectively).

Joyce and Beach had signed off on PP 11.4 between 7–11 October. A further setting was made, PP 11.5, to which Hirchwald added in Joyce’s addition by hand (JJA 23.226). The Imprimerie date is 12 October and the pull was sent to Joyce and Beach for a second Bon à tirer. The final printer’s date on the document is 14 October.

 

 

 

“Scylla and Charybdis” (9) [top]

 

 

 

 

1.         The last two pages of Pl 23.i are blank. The printers may have run out of typescript to set at this stage. Darantiere informed Beach on 12 August 1921 that the typesetters were nearing the end of the portion of typescript then in their possession. Buffalo XIV.22: Darantiere to Beach; 12 August 1921. T. l. s.: 1l.

2.         The last two pages of Pl 23.ii are blank.

3.         Groden Index, p. 163 corrects the order of the settings of PP 12 in volume 23. For PP 12.1, JJA 23.259–274, the Archive reproduces the unmarked Buffalo V.C.2, claiming, “Joyce’s corrected copy is not extant” (though see next note). Another duplicate is unreproduced.

4.         Since Groden Index the marked copy of PP 12.1 has surfaced. It originally disappeared after Sylvia Beach gave it to Irwin Swerdlow in 1945. She inscribed the document: “Proofs of ‘Ulysses,’ 1921, with corrections in Joyce’s handwriting | for Erwin [sic] Swerdlow from Sylvia Beach—Paris 1945.” Swerdlow, drafted into the United States Army, participated in the liberation of Paris in 1944. After earning a Ph.D. from Harvard he taught English at Dillard and Dartmouth colleges. PP 12.1 is item 43 in Glenn Horowitz, James Joyce: Books & Manuscripts (New York: Glenn Horowitz Bookseller, 1996), pp. 38–39, 100. The current location of the proof is not known.

5.         Groden Index, p. 163 corrects the order of the settings of PP 12 in volume 23. PP 12.2, JJA 23.243–258, has two unreproduced duplicates: Buffalo V.C.1—12b; V.C.2.

6.         Groden Index, p. 163 corrects the order of the settings of PP 12 in volume 23. PP 12.3 is JJA 23.275–290.

7.         Groden Index, p. 163 corrects the order of the settings of PP 12 in volume 23. PP 12.4 is JJA 23.291–302, 305–308.

8.         PP 12.4+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating an addition on Gathering 12. PP 12.4 was marked Bon à tirer, signed by Joyce and countersigned by Beach, and sent back to Darantiere (dated 12 October). A day or two after sending the proof Joyce sent a letter:

 

            Ajoutez si encore possible

p 188, l 11 après “commentator,” et avant “His”

de la ligne suivante imprimez “Mr

George Bernard Shaw. Nor should we

forget Mr Frank Harris.”

pour évites des enems les nomes sont

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

FRANK HARRIS (JJA 23.303)

The letter is dated 14.X.21 (by the printer, one assumes). It evidently arrived in time because Hirchwald copied the correction onto the Bon à tirer-ed proof PP 12.4 (JJA 23.302). Since the page and line number Joyce gives in his note are correct one assumes he was looking at an unmarked duplicate of PP 12.4. Rather than mark up a second pull of the same setting (as he did on several other occasions) he sent in the note containing his single addition. The text of that addition, however, is problematic. He instructs the printer to insert the name “Frank Harris” along with that of Shaw—yet “Mr Frank Harris” has been in the text of “Scylla and Charybdis” since at least the first setting in proof, Pl 21.i (JJA 18.177). The page and line numbers make clear that Joyce was using a PP 12.4 duplicate (the three earlier settings of Gathering 12 have Harris on either p. 187 or l. 10 of p. 188)—it seems, however, that either he misread the document or he is taking particular pains that the names are spelt correctly.

9.         PP 13.4+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating a number of revisions and additions on Gatherings 9, 11 and 13. PP 13.4 was marked Bon à tirer, signed by Joyce and countersigned by Beach. While the material was in transit (PP 13.4 is dated 12 October) Joyce sent a letter to the printers a day or two before 11 October. Letter reads:

 

            Changements à faire si les pages indiquées

ne sont pas déjà tirées.

            p. 196, l 2 au lieu de “stated” imprimez “capped”

            p 162, l 10 après la parole “foodlift” ajoutez avant

le point “across his stained square of

newspaper.”

            p. 13^<1>2^, l 26 au lieu de “Gray” mettez “Grey” (JJA 23.363)

The letter is dated “11.X.21” (by the printer, one assumes) and its first instruction refers to PP 13.4 (the second and third changement are for PP 11.4—“Lestrygonians”— and PP 9.3—“Aeolus”—respectively).

The marked-up PP 13.4 was received by the printers by 12 October. The change of “stated” to “capped” in “Buck Mulligan stated” was made on this proof by one of the printers.

10.       The paginations differ to those given in the Archive due to the restatement of pages as PP 12.4+ and PP 13.4+.

 

 

“Wandering Rocks” (10) [top]

 

 

 

1.         CSE levels 3 and 4 comprise both document types.

 

 

“Sirens” (11) [top]

 

 

 

1.         Gathering 17.1 is divided between Buffalo and the Rosenbach Foundation. Pp. 257–260 and 269–272 are at Buffalo. Pp. 261–268 are at the Rosenbach Foundation. The Archive reproduces the unmarked pages of a duplicate in place of the Rosenbach portion (JJA 24.189–196). Page 266 of the marked proof (now the text of U 11.0791–0829) contains, as well as Joyce’s additions, a dedication written by Beach “a page proof [?] for Sylvia with love from her aunt Sylvia” and an appended screed with Joyce’s signature. The page is reproduced in Michael Barsanti, “Ulysses” in Hand: The Rosenbach Manuscript (Philadelphia: Rosenbach Museum & Library, 2000), p. 41.

            The first setting of “Cyclops” Placard 37 contains the draft text of some material for this setting of Gathering 17. In the upper border of the third page of the placard, Joyce’s draft of two elements appears (JJA 19.205). The second of these has not been identified, but the first is Joyce’s sketch for “Siopold” (now U 11.0751).

 

Lionel

                        Leopold

                        Simon                           <Richsiopold>  Siopold

                        Richie

The second exclamation was added to “Sirens” on PP 17.1—at the same time Joyce was working on the placards of “Cyclops” (i.e. early October 1921). The relevant page of the “Sirens” proof is not reproduced in the Archive as it forms part of the Rosenbach Foundation’s holdings. See JJA 24.192–193 for the surrogate reproduction.

 

 

“Cyclops” (12) [top]

 

 

 

 

1.            Pl 37.i includes drafts of two addition for “Sirens” (JJA 19.205). The second of these, “Siopold” (now U 11.0751), was added onto PP 17.1. See the note to “Sirens” Gathering 17 above.

2.         The fifth page of the placard has “Pla. 36 bis” written on the top of it (JJA 19.179).

3.         It is not known if there was a marked set of this setting of Gathering 19 because no revisions or additions were made at this level.

4.         Groden Index, p. 164 corrects the order of the settings of PP 20 in volume 25. No corrections or revisions were made at this level.

5.         On 10 November Hirchwald sent a two-page holograph letter to Joyce. He wrote requesting confirmation on a number of points in PP 19.5 (his first page) and PP 20.2 (his second page). The first page of the letter—PP 19.5+—reads (with Joyce’s responses in bold):

 

289, l. 4. jivic rays?                                  Yes

            289, half-page: devanic circles?                   Yes

            290, l5 slidder off?                                 Yes

            291.—paragr in italics: Is the

            little i intentional? Is the punctu-

            ation as it should be?                              Yes

            293, l. 8 golloped (Yes) it down or galloped?

            294, bottom ^<page> line^ – no î at hand.

            294, l. 17: broadsheet is one word?          Yes

            297, l. 21. Maxwell ffrenchmullan

                                                double or single f? double: ff (minuscules)

            304, 2nd paragr.

                        Should the punctuation be left

as it stands? Would it not be better

to put a comma between the names

and the titles (William Delany, S. J.) and

a semi-colon after each name?

(the rev. W??, D. D.;)                         Yes, change accordingly

            Do you want capital letters or little ones

to rev., very rev. etc.?                              minuscules

The suggested change which Joyce okayed (the punctuation of the priests’ names and titles) resulted in the setting of PP 19.6 (a single page).

The second page of the holograph letter—PP 20.2+—requests confirmation on a number of points in PP 20.2. The points of clarification (with Joyce’s responses in bold) are:

 

308. Is not the paragr. beginning with

“Six and eightpence” a reply in the dialogue?

310, l. 7, from the bottom: corned beef

off of that one?                          No. Laissez come ça

311, l. 4 tholsel?                          va bien

311. l. 9: Lamh Dearg Abu?        Yes

315. l. 10 meila murder?              va bien

And also ?dly go over my

own corrections.

Answer by return please.

                        10.X[sic].21

Joyce’s own additions to PP 20.2—separate to the checks on Hirchwald’s letter—resulted in PP 20.3 being set.

6.         PP 19.5++ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating an addition on Gathering 19. PP 19.5 was marked Bon à tirer, signed by Joyce and countersigned by Beach. Sometime shortly after, Joyce sent a letter to the printers. The letter reads:

 

Dear Hirschwald [sic]: If you have not

already passed pp. 294 & 295 will you

please insert in the list of names

after “Goosepond Prhtr Kratinabritchisitch”

and before “Herr Hurhausdirektorpresident[”] etc.

the name; “Borus Hupinkoff,”

                        sincerely yours

                        James Joyce

P.S: the letter “f” appears

to be imperfect often

in the type (JJA 25.102)

Unlike the “Lestrygonians” case (PP 10.3+) the letter did not arrive in time. The material had already been set. The card was initialed “R,” marked trop tard and dated 15.XI.21. Hupinkoff did not appear in the 1922 Paris edition.

7.         Groden Index, p. 164 corrects the order of the settings of PP 20 in volume 25.

8.         The paginations differ to those given in the Archive due to the restatement of pages as PP 19.5+/20.2+ and PP 19.5++.

9.         This single page setting does not contain an Imprimerie but it must be PP 19.6. See note 5 above for explanation. The Archive, perhaps following Texas’ material arrangement, places it with PP 19.5. Gabler identifies it as PP 19.6 in his proof table.

10.       Groden Index, p. 164 corrects the order of the settings of PP 20 in volume 25. No corrections or revisions were made at this level.

 

 

“Nausicaa” (13) [top]

 

 

 

1.         PP 21.1+ is a holograph document from Joyce to Darantiere indicating two corrections on Gathering 21. The document is not extant but reference to it appears in a letter from Darantiere to Beach. Both Joyce’s corrections and Darantiere’s letter were written on 14 November. According to the latter, Joyce had sent two corrections for the gathering on a piece of paper appended to the proofs he returned that morning. Buffalo XIV.44: Darantiere to Beach; 14 November 1921. T. & A. l. s.

            Two corrections appear in the hand of a printer on the first page of the “Nausicaa” portion of PP 21.1 (JJA 25.181). The erroneously set “pushc arnd” and “matc hand” are corrected to “pushcar and” and “match and.” As corrections of typesetting errors neither of these changes has a CSE level.

 

 

“Oxen of the Sun” (14) [top]

 

 

 

1.         The fifth page of the placard has “46bis” written on the top of it (JJA 19.377). No second setting of the placard (with or without a bis) was pulled.

 

 

“Circe” (15) [top]

 

 

 

1.         Placards Y and Z—the Messianic scene of “Circe”—were set and pulled out of sequence. Joyce had composed the scene long after “Circe” was completed and typed up, but before he had submitted the episode to Darantiere’s printers. Each of the two extant typescript exemplars of “Circe” contains a coloured line to denote the point of insertion of the Messianic scene typescript but, for whatever reason, the printers set this latter portion of the text first.

2.         The final page of the first setting of Gathering 27 is blank.

            CSE levels 4, 5 and 7 comprise both document types.

3.         Placard 52 has only four pages. There are no blanks, however, as only a half sheet was pulled. On the final page, after the words “their reign is over for ever” (now U 15.1397), the printed instruction “(ICI, pl. Y, Y bis et Z)” appears (JJA 20.056).

4.         The second marked copy of PP 30.2 arrived too late for its corrections to be included.

5.         The pagination differs to that given in the Archive due to the restatement of one page as PP 31.2+.

6.         PP 31.2+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating a revision on Gathering 31. PP 31.2 was marked Bon à tirer, signed by Joyce and countersigned by Beach. The returned proof is dated 23 December 1921 by Hirchwald. Joyce’s letter reads:

 

Changements à faire

page 485, ligne 18

au lieu de “Elephantulus”

imprimez “Elephantuliasis”

            Best wishes for Xmas and

            New Year

                        James Joyce (JJA 26.210)

The revision was not handwritten onto PP 31.2, the latest pull of the gathering known to be extant, but it is present in the 1922 edition. Presumably a final setting was made which was never sent to Joyce.

7.         Material was accidentally set twice at the end of Placard 61. The compositor, who was working through Darantiere’s copy of the typescript, came to page 135 (JJA 15.286) and halfway down the page—having set “that carman is waiting” (now U 15.4424)—went back a page and set the text U 15.4405–13 from “(To the crowd.) No, I was with the private” to “Noble art of self-pretence” a second time. Perhaps there had been a break in the setting and when the compositor resumed his work he started at the wrong place. The typescript page which covers the duplicate material (JJA 15.285) has a mark around the word “Personally,” which becomes the first word of the next placard, again duplicating material already set (U 15.4414–24) on the previous placard. Joyce crosses out the duplicate material at the end of Placard 61 and beginning of Placard 62.

8.         Groden Index, p. 164 states that this setting of Gathering 36 is PP 36.2. This partial gathering contains pages for the end of “Circe” only. The gathering comprises a single sheet of four pages: 564 and 561 on one side, 562 and 563 on the other (U 15.4846–4967). Since the last page of PP 36.2 is also for “Circe” the gathering could not conceivably have continued into “Eumaeus.”

9.         Groden Index, p. 164 states that this setting of Gathering 36 is PP 36.3.

10.       The capital letters “A” and “B” appear on the first pages of the two marked versions of PP 36.3.

11.       The “Circe” portion of this copy is unmarked.

12.       This single page setting does not contain an Imprimerie but—based on the pagination of p. 561—it must be PP 36.4. The Archive, perhaps following Texas’ material arrangement, places it with PP 35.2. Gabler identifies it as PP 35.3 in his proof table and places it in “Circe” level 11. As a fourth setting of Gathering 36, however, it would at best be level 12 or—as in this edition—designated as ‘none.’

 

 

 

“Eumaeus” (16) [top]

 

 

 

1.         The four ‘b’ copies of the first setting of Placards III-3, III-4, III-5 and III-5bis contain nothing more than the correction of a number of literals; no new material is added.

2.         The two ‘b’ copies of the second setting of Placards III-1 and III-2 contain nothing more than the correction of a number of literals; no new material is added.

3.         On the fourth page of Placard III-2.ii.b Hirchwald has written “Joyce all other spellings of this expression have been a propos without italics?” (JJA 20.282).

4.         Groden Index, p. 164 states that this setting of Gathering 36 is PP 36.3. PP 36.2 does not occur in the “Eumaeus” CSE levels because the partial gathering contains pages for the end of “Circe” only. The gathering comprises a single sheet of four pages: 564 and 561 on one side, 562 and 563 on the other (U 15.4846–4967). Since the last page of PP 36.2 is also for “Circe” the gathering could not conceivably have continued into “Eumaeus.” Accordingly no material appears in the setting of the “Eumaeus” portion of 36.3 that cannot be traced to autograph additions in 36.1. This explains the leap in Gabler’s levels: PP 36.1 is his “Eumaeus” level 3 and PP 36.2 “Eumaeus” level 4.

5.         The capital letters “A” and “B” appear on the first pages of the two marked versions of PP 36.3.

6.         This partial gathering has been the subject of two misstatements. In the Archive it is placed with PP 37.2 (JJA 27.56). In the errata at the back of Groden Index, p. 164, we are told that “pp. 73–78: These pages constitute the fourth version of Gathering 36 (gathering pp. 571–576 only) and should be so identified on p. 1. They should follow p. 54 in the reproduction sequence.” In fact the pages are numbered 577–579. Thus they constitute a third version of Gathering 37. As such they represent one of the last settings (if not the last setting) of this material as the page- and line-breaks and line numbers follow those of the 1922 Paris edition exactly. The only textual difference is the presence of “à propos” which becomes “apropos” by the first edition (the former reading is restored by Gabler at U 16.0342–43). There is no autograph correction for this alteration—and Gabler cues it as a rejected first-edition reading in his historical collation list—but the proofs for “Eumaeus” instance the changeover of three “apropos” to “apropos” in Pl III-2.i (JJA 20.266) and PP 37.1 (JJA 27.587) and PP 39.1 (JJA 27.132). The printers apparently took it on themselves to ‘correct’ this instance of the phrase. Cf. the query written on Pl III-2.ii.b—see note 3 above.

            Hans Walter Gabler calls this partial gathering “36.4” in his table of proofs (Ulysses: A Critical and Synoptic Edition 1915). Regardless, it corresponds to “Eumaeus” level 5. A quick check of the synoptic text (or the Archive facsimile) reveals that no authoritative changes were made to the text at this level (Ulysses: A Critical and Synoptic Edition 1356.32–1362.20). “Eumaeus” level 5 is empty, as it were.

7.         This single page setting does not contain an Imprimerie. The Archive, perhaps following Texas’ material arrangement, places it with PP 38.2. Gabler identifies it as PP 38.3 in his proof table, as it constitutes a reset of material in the former (Joyce’s autograph addition “passim”—JJA 27.608, now U 16.1637—has been set). While the material covered by the page does indeed comprise a reset of the end of PP 38.2, the page number—612— means that materially this page must, in fact, be PP 39.2. Like PP 37.3 above, the page constitutes one of the last settings (if not the last setting) of this material as the page- and line-breaks and line numbers follow those of the 1922 Paris edition exactly.

            In any event, the page proof is “Eumaeus” level 5. A quick check of the synoptic text (or the Archive facsimile) reveals that no changes are made to the text at this level (Ulysses: A Critical and Synoptic Edition 1356.32–1362.20). “Eumaeus” level 5 is empty, as it were.

1.         PP 43.1.a+ is a holograph letter from Joyce to Darantiere indicating a revision on Gathering 43. The letter is not extant but reference to it appears on PP 43.1.a. The printer makes the substitution “atonement” for “peace offering” and in a marginal box writes “lettre de M. Joyce reçue le 30.1.22.” Presumably, after Joyce had sent PP 43.1.b on 30 January he made this final correction by letter. The correction was marked onto PP 43.1.a rather that b.
