Chapter V: The Latin Martha Texts
Summary
Previous. research has suggested that the Sanctuarium (5a
and not MS E. was the original for the F and C5 French
Martha translations. Section I of this chapter shows that
this research is incomplete and misleading, and section II
demýanstrates that in fact E is considerably closer than Sa
to both French translations.
In section III, cases of agreement between F,. and C5,
where both differ from Latin E. are used to show that in
places E must be different from the lost Latin originals
used by the two French translators.,
Divergencies between the two French translations,
examined in section IV, indicate that the translators used
Latin originals that were different from each other, and
that the source used by the C5 translator, while being close
to E, also has some features in common with Sa.
The schema in section V illustrates the putative
relationships between the two Latin and two French texts
discussed in this chapter.
