The Roman de la Rose doesn't have the full text. Tom Send a noteboard - 23/02/2013 02:40:23 AM
It discusses it extensively, quotes from it liberally, discusses the world that created it, and has lots of wonderful illuminated pages and other things, but it doesn't have the full text. I had to order the Lettres Gothiques version (I have Marie de France in that, it was terribly flimsy but I reinforced the cover with clear strapping tape).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Apparently the word "lay" meaning "story" comes from Irish "laid", meaning "song". *NM* Tom - 20/02/2013 07:54:47 PM 274 Views
