DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY.
TEXTS AS VARIED AND UNCERTAIN
AS MANY ANCIENT CLASSICS.
More Than GOO MSS. of the Work Are
Known uud Registered l)r. Moore's
Comparatively Successful Investigation.
11l Wltte'a Footsteps.
Most readers of Dante little imagine
upon What uncertain ground his text, as
they have it, stands. Considering the
immense value which was immediately
put on %?. poem in. Italy, it is strange
that the poet's own copy, or copies,
should have disappeared, especially as
manuscripts still survive, exhibiting a
text already tampered with, which seem
to have been written within a score of
years after the poet's death. But all our
texts are second baud It is reckoned
that there are nearly three hundred
printed editions of the "Consmedia:"
and these printed books Imve us their
foundation, more or less directly, some
COO MSS., known and registered, besides
a number more still lying bid in un
examined libraries. Of course, the
"Connnedia" in its substance reappears J
in them all; but as soon as we begin to
compare our copies, and to observe
differences, we find an amount of varia
tion, mostly minute, but not seldom im
portant, which makes us feel the gap
which there is between the editions
which we use, printed according to the
rules of modern Italian orthography,
and in part grammar, and the poeiu as
it came from the lips or the pen of its
author.
When, for instance, we go from our
YVitte or Giuliani, with their smooth,
familiar text, to the fac-sitnile of the
Monte Cassino manuscript, or Lord Ver
non's reprint of the four tirst printed
editions of the Fifteenth century, or
even of the Aldine text with its repro
ductions in the Sixteenth, we seem intro
duced to a new language— at least, to a
new mode of representing it—nearer,
probably, than anything of modern
Italian to the of the pot t What
ordinary reader would guess that pero
kivegio stands for pero eh' io veggio?
(Moore, li) But this is the least part
of the variation. Wiiat words did
Dante write? is the tpiestion which arises,
as book after book, and manuscript after
manuscript, gives a phrase, a construe- j
tion. a name, a metaphor differently, i
making some difference, sometimes an
important difference, to the sense or the
beauty of the words. That is to say, J
tiiat the text of the "Connnedia," like
the text of all ancient books, is, when
minutely and carefully examined, found
to be less uniformly settled than we un
consciously assume when we take up
the book as we have it in our current
editions, it is, of course, what any one
accustomed to the critical study of class
ical authors would expect. The dilfer- j
ence is, that for' the dozen or score of
manuscripts which form a creditable
critical outfit for the editor of a classical
author, we have for the "Comiuedia" a
list of authorities which are counted by
hundreds. j
The result lias been that, though there
lias been much talk in Italy about codici
of the "Commedia," chiefly in setting
fortii the merits of some favorite copy,
nothing was done, even toward prepar
ing the way for the settlement of the
text. 111) the subject was taken up by
VVitte. The Crusea academicians, in their
edition (1.795), appealed to manuscripts
for the readings which they approved
or condemned; but, besides that they
avowedly "improved" readings, they,
like most people at the time, only
counted their manuscripts and did not
weigh them, and were not alive to what
might have seemed all obvious truth,
except that the critical world was so
long finding it out that there are manu
scripts ami manuscripts, good copies and
bad. Witte broke ground in attempting
a more reasonable and scholarlikt treat
ment of the thing to be done. He en
larged the area of comparison; lie formed
a seholarlike judgment on the value of
his authorities, and he gave an example
of a critical text. He ought to have the
full and ungrudging praise due to a
clear view of what was needed, and
great care and industry in carrying it
out within what was possible to hiiu.
The work which Witte began lias been
taken up by Dr. Moore in a thorough
and solid way, which is, in the highest
degree, creditable to English scholarship.
His volum'eof "contributions to the text
ual criticism" of the "Commedia" is a
step in advance of anything yet said on
the subject, not only ju England, but in
Germany. The immense mass of mate
rials which confronts the critical editor
of tiie "Commedia," comprising copies
which go back to a time not far distant
from the writer's death, makes the sift
ing anil classification of these copies a
necessity, if lie would not be overwhelmed
by an almost hopeless task.
Dr. Moore lias made a beginning in
this difficult work, though, with the cau
tion and modesty of a scholar, lie pro
poses it only as a beginning. Can this
multitude of copies bo sorted and ar
ranged on any principle? He selects a.
number of passages where the readings
vary—"test passages," us he calls them;
and lie examines and cotnpares the read
ings given by as many manuscripts as he
can get hold of. The number is large;
he cin .. mainly from bisown inspection,
over ~00. All kinds of unaccountable
anomalies present themselves; some of
the most carious variations, and even
blunders, occurring in some of the oldest
authorities, and suggesting the possibili
ty ties of changes and corrections by the
po<-t himself in copies made in his life
time. It is curious that, though in many
copies the dialect of the scribe —Vene-
tian, Lombard, Tuscan—is so evident, it
does not seem tosupply amark for group
ing. Still, in spite of all this obscurity.
Dr. Moore thinks that he finds traces of
one distinct group or family, which lie
Calls the "Vatisan" family, from a fa
mous manuscript which issts type. Witte
had al io thought that he could trace a
V Sicnncse i.uuily of copies, though his in
dications are fainter. Tlil% is the point
to which the investigation lias reached.

A Defense of Dudley..
Chicago News.
Col. \V. W. Dudley, the hero of the
" blocks of five" episode, who, by a ju
dicious use of money, saved the country
last November from going to rack and
ruin, is being attacked by a dangerous
person who accuses the eminent states
man of bribery. This is simply dis
graceful. Tilings have come to a pretty
pass when trouble is made for a man
simply because he hires some gentleman to
go up to the polls and vote the right
ticket. The good people are with Col.
Dudley when lie declines that the man
who reopened this case would sow the
wind and reap the whirlwind. It were
the basest ingratitude if the Hoosiers did
not rally to the support of the philanthro
pist and statesman who came down like a
white-winged dove on an errand of mercy
and scattered crisp two-dollar hilts
among citizens who were perishing for
whisk v.
The harsh, drastic purgatives, once
deemed so indispensable, have given
place to milder and more skillfully pre
pared laxatives: hence the great and
growing demand for Ayer's Pills. Phy
sicians everywhere recommend thorn for
costiveneas, indigestion, and liver com
plaints.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, has a hill in
hand which lie will shortly introduce,
asking for an oppropriation of only four
hundred and twenty-six millions for coast
defenses. That will skin out the surplus
and no mistake. There's nothing mean
about Dolph.
