TRANSCRIPTION CONVENTIONS

In spite of Jean-Louis Lebrave's convincing arguments for diplomatic transcriptions (L'dition gntique 214), the purposes of this genetic study justify a reduction to a textual model in the form of a linear transcription, with a minimum of diacritical signs, indicating overwritings (immediately following the word or letter over which the substitution was written), ^additions^, [uncertain readings], or [illegible words)].

The James Joyce Archive's draft catalog system is used to refer to a specific draft stage in Finnegans Wake: for example, I.52.*0 = book I, chapter 5, section 2, first draft; the asterisk indicates an autograph document. The transcription of Joyce's notebook entries is based on the conventions of the edition of The Finnegans Wake Notebooks at Buffalo, ed. Vincent Deane, Daniel Ferrer, and Geert Lernout (Turnhout: Brepols, 2001). A sample may help clarify these conventions: randbut / randor (VI.B.46:48). Each entry (andbut/andor) is followed by the number ofthe notebook (VI.B.46) and the page number (48). The slash (/) indicates that words on successive lines are part of one and the same unit. Joyce used to delete an entry with a color crayon when he decided to incorporate it in the text of Work in Progress. The color of these cancellations is indicated by a superscript letter (b = blue, bk = black, br = brown, g = green, o = orange, p = purple, r = red, y = yellow) preceding the canceled unit.
