I'll look at the bookstore to see if anyone else has put out a revised edition based on the new transcription, though they have other conventions and they modernize at least the punctuation, and often make the spelling uniform throughout, which that edition didn't do.
I'd like to find the fourth book myself, I didn't get to buy it before that edition went out of print (it surfaced during a Rabelais anniversary year).
The only thing bugging me with the edition was that the notes concerned strictly the transcription itself, so I pretty much had to keep the Pléiade nearby when I read it.
I'll look for the editor and publisher. I've got very limited access to a lot of books ATM during renovations.

Any recommendations for reading Old French?

I figured it was a cool sounding purchase either way.

Apparently the word "lay" meaning "story" comes from Irish "laid", meaning "song". *NM*
