Corrections to Mettmann II

This page lists and categorizes corrections to Mettmann's second edition (1986–1989, Castalia) of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, for the benefit of those who have access to a copy of that text. If you are lucky enough to have the first edition (1959–1972, Coimbra) you will be pleased to know that very few of these errors appeared there—they mostly represent miscopyings from that original made by the publisher during preparation of the new version.

In the main tables below, the second column shows what should have been written, using Mettmann's own spelling. The third column shows the correction highlighted in the context of the whole line, but with my modified spelling and your spelling preferences applied. The fourth column shows whether the first edition was correct, with a tick ✔ if it was, or a cross if the same error was present. Line numbers in the first column are my own, not Mettmann's, but these are cross-linked to the main text, which will give enough context to help the reader find the corresponding lines in Mettmann's editions if necessary. Any footnotes for the line in question can be viewed by hovering the mouse over the dagger mark, although in many cases these comment on some other feature of the line, not the highlighted correction.

I make no claims to have found all of the errors in Mettmann II. The ones listed here are those which drew attention to themselves by tripping up my syllabification software in the early stages of the project, and those which happened to catch my eye during the first full proofreading pass, plus a small handful of cases which I've become aware of through reading the academic literature on the CSM, or talking to other researchers. There may well be other errors still lurking undetected. Neither do I know how many original errors in Mettmann I might have been corrected in Mettmann II, having started with the second edition texts and not proofread against the first, but I suspect that any such examples are few and far between. It's worth stressing that the great majority (over 80%) of the errors below probably cannot be attributed directly to Mettmann himself, since they do not appear in the first edition. In previous versions of this page I laid the responsibility at Mettmann's door, based on the unexamined assumption that the second edition should have been no less accurate than the first, which in retrospect was unfair. I can only express my sheer admiration for Mettmann for managing to edit over 20,000 lines of text to a superb level of quality in the days when technological assistance was far more limited.

9:8 huahũa houv' i ũa dona | de mui santa vida,

As it happens, the musical result is not too bad in a cantiga already full of long ligatures and stretched-out syllables, and the artificial syllable -qui- does at least fall on a single punctum .o. Contrast CSM 362 where reliquias occurs four times, always with the expected 3 syllables.

6:19 insert bar éra u cantar e que diz: | “Gáüde Virgo María”; CSM 6:19Gaude requires three syllables here, but two in line 55. Mettmann (I and II) omits the hemistich bar in this line, which might have been prompted by the odd stress required on que. However, he also omits the bars in lines 20, 32 and 36, which cannot be explained on the basis of stress.
6:20 insert bar e pois diz mal do judéu, que | sobr' aquesto contende.
6:32 insert bar todos, senô u judéu que | e quis gra mal des ende.

221:8 insert bar éra moço pequenio | o mui bo Rei Do Fernando,
224:34 insert bar de levar i a menia, | fizéro atal postura. CSM 224:34Mettmann I and II de levar la menynna. Given that the first hemistich of this line ends with an unstressed syllable in both manuscripts, it still needs another syllable to fix the metre. I have inserted the word i on the model of CSM 176:26 e levou i a omagen, and changed la to a accordingly. The original word la appears in both manuscripts but wouldn't normally be expected in this position (levar a or levá-la would be more regular), so it could be a Castilian-influenced copying error for i a or ia anyway.

Mettmann I fizeron; Mettmann II e fizeron; [F] fezeron; [E] fizeron. The e inserted by Mettmann in his second edition makes some sense, stylistically, but I don't believe it to be essential. If you prefer to keep it, then reading the second hemistich here as e fizeron tal postura would be an acceptable compromise.
249:17 insert bar eno mais alto da óbra, | como bo maestre faz.

372:18 insert bar pela mão e disse-': | “éu te veo sãar.
419:78 insert bar Apóstolos e e Jo- | safas lo enterrou. CSM 419:78Mettmann leaves out the hemistich bar in this line in both his first and second editions, presumably due to the fact that the line doesn't divide comfortably, with the caesura falling in the middle of the word Josafas and unnatural stress being required on en for regular scansion.

121:32 ca || ca que est' hóme nós matemos, | ca x' éste dos sérvos séus.” CSM 121:32Mettmann (I and II) has the hemistich bar between ca and x' este here, which doesn't match the line break in [E] or [T], or the scansion, or the sense.

208:6 delete ca macar seja o séu Córpo | e qualquér logar metudo. CSM 208:6Mettmann (I and II) has the word ca at the beginning of this line, matching [E], but notes (in II) that "the sentence is incomplete". However, the word is conspicuously lacking a note in the music in [E], and without it the sentence is indeed grammatically complete (the final clause no longer being subordinate), and has the correct number of syllables. I have therefore chosen to delete it. Note that Elmes keeps ca and elides seja o to sej' o instead, so the singer will need to realign the words slightly to make my version fit. Finally, note that in [F] this line is missing, as the surviving text starts at the last line of the third stanza, so this manuscript cannot lend any support Mettmann's inclusion of the word ca.

Elmes has sisso from [E] (and Mettmann I); Mettmann II's corrected form siso is found in [To].

Esto dito at the start in Mettmann II is an error not present in Mettmann I, but the form diaboo is faithful, and requires synaeresis to fit the metre. The shorter form dïabo is much more common in the CSM, and in fact the four-syllable variant dïáboo only occurs once in the singular (here) and six times in the plural dïáboos, with five of the latter being in the non-metrical epigraphs.

Mettmann also has contar quero, but his additional reversal of vos eu to eu vos is quite unjustified.

As his summary of the metrical and rhyming scheme correctly indicates, this line is in fact meant to rhyme with the penultimate line of every other stanza, the rhyme being [i.a] (romaría, perfía etc.) The text in [E] and [T], which is correct in Mettmann I and which I have restored here, does exactly that. In Mettmann II, however, the words have been juggled incorrectly such that the line reads e ya por veela (where ya = ía), presumably intending that this should rhyme with séla and donzéla in this same stanza, but unfortunately overlooking the non-rhyme between open [ɛ] in the latter words and close [e] in veê-la.

Whatever the word order, synaeresis is required here in veê-la, but this is unremarkable as it occurs rather often in forms of the verb veer.

This form corresponds to offreções in [F], with my normal spelling changes applied (ff → f). Compare CSM 145:46 and CSM 85:60.

II is obviously a mistake, but it is impossible to know whether it represents a simple transposition of two letters or a bodged attempt to insert the extra letter i found in [E]. The form romeiria is very unnatural, however, and not found elsewhere, and in fact the first i has a dot above it in the manuscript (too short for a tilde, too thick for a plica) which might have been intended to mark it for correction. The form romeria itself only occurs once elsewhere in Mettmann's edition (my line 213:28); the common spelling is romaria, with fifty occurrences.

See also CSM 361:30 (fezerõ-na), which I have fixed in the same way.

Fix bad word division (11)

This last set of changes doesn't really sit well with the others on this page, since they concern deliberate editorial choices on Mettmann's part, rather than typographical errors or oversights. However, they are not really numerous enough to merit a page of their own, and don't belong with the Modifications for metrical regularity, so I have left them here for now.

See my own footnotes where available for more details, along with [SP2006] (p. 118) for justification of the fixes in which final elision is converted to initial elision.

Line Correction vis-à-vis Mettmann II Text in this edition Mett. I
1:65 insert apostrophe que por el' esforçada CSM 1:65Mettmann has por el esforçada in this line, but the sense requires ela referring to the Virgin. Both [JMMS] and the draft PDF version at the Oxford CSM database (as of June 2013) therefore transcribe el' with elision, and [JFV] clearly assumes this reading in his translation.
7:9 hũa badessahũ' abadessa que por ũ' abadessa CSM 7:9Mettmann's transcription hũa badessa in this line is exceptional and seems to be an editorial mistake. Elsewhere he consistently elides the indefinite article rather than the following noun beginning in a- (see ũ' in the Concordance), so I have done the same here.

186:6 valesse lavaless' ela se e no valess' ela que poder há. CSM 186:6Both [E] and [T] have valesse la here, but this seems to be a Castilian influenced scribal copying error.

There may be just the subtlest hint of a space after the first e in [To] but I do not believe this was the scribe's intent, given the Castilianism required to make any sense of it. [ToMES] nevertheless transcribes ãte les without comment, and [JMMS] fixes the Castilianism without changing the sense, writing ante lhes. To my mind, though, the presence of a parallel ant' eles just two lines up is clear evidence that this is the correct reading here too.
