Very soon after its first publication, the Legenda began to be copied throughout Western Christendom at a great rate, very often by professional scribes working for stationers who would expect them to write at speed while reproducing this encyclopaedia of the saints' deeds and marvels. Thus, from the beginnings of its manuscript tradition, corruptions and errors were introduced; and we still lack the means to correct them. For want of anything better, scholars must still refer to the edition of the Latin by Johann G. T. Graesse; but this cannot be used with any confidence. As Jacobus J. A. Zuidweg has observed in a summary of his findings, ‘Force nous était donc de nous servir de l’édition … quelque défectueuse qu'elle fût. Le texte de cette édition, qui f...

Gilson had published his monograph, at Strasbourg, under the title, Études de philosophie médiévale, on 30 September 1921. Strasbourg lies in the historic territory of Alsace that, among the terms of the treaty of Versailles, La Troisième République de France had retrieved from German governance on 10 January 1920.
