The editor introduces a classification scheme for the various transmitted texts of Marco Polo’s book, stating that they can be grouped into four principal types, starting with the Geographic (old French) one.
‘molto me poso merviler De ves enfant quant le fi batecer De un signo qe le vi sor la spal’a droiturer Qe non ait nul se no filz d’inperer.’”—(p. 41) [6] As examples of such Orientalisms: *Bonus*, “ebony,” and *calamanz*, “pencases,” seem to represent the Persian *abnús* and *ḳalamdàn*; the dead are mourned by *les mères et les* Araines, the *Harems*; in speaking of the land of the Ismaelites or Assassin…

The passage shifts from editorial evaluation to describing André’s manuscript apparatus and the author’s own plan, then begins a manuscript sigla list and supplies the start of Ovid’s Ex Ponto IV with annotations.
[Footnote 17: He collated four other manuscripts, *M*, _Bernensis bibl. munic. 478*, *Diuionensis bibl. munic. 497*, and *British Library Burney 220_, but gives their readings only occasionally.] For knowledge of many of his secondary manuscripts, André seems to have depended on the edition of Lenz. Since much of Lenz's information was drawn from Heinsius and other earlier editors, this means that André is often giv…
The translator explains that Pindar’s allusions require uncommon knowledge, that exact links between ode parts are often lost, and that he largely follows Böckh and Dissen while giving recommended starting points and a probable chronological order.
allusive is this poet that to understand his allusions will very often require knowledge which would not have been derived from a study of the more commonly read Hellenic writers. Nor have I attempted to trace in detail the connection of the parts in each ode which binds them into one harmonious whole with many meanings--a connection so consummately contrived where we can trace it that we may suppose it no less exqu…
The preface continues by claiming the volume includes the most important parts of the Younger Edda in English, advising readers to skip forewords/afterwords, and describing editorial notes and sources.

The present volume contains all of the Younger Edda that can possibly be of any importance to English readers. In fact, it gives more than has ever before been presented in any translation into English, German or any of the modern Scandinavian tongues.…
