Notes

  • -  Vaquieux wrote his narrative of de Gourgues' Florida expedition during the late 16th century. It became rather widely distributed in manuscript and was used by various authors in writing their narratives of the French experience in Florida. Six other manuscript versions are known to exist, all of which are now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. There they are listed as: 1) Manuscrit français 2,145; 2) Manuscrit français 3,884, leaves 318–344; 3) Manuscrit français 6,124; 4) Manuscrit français 19,899 (formerly Manuscrit Ancien Saint-Germain français 1,886); 5) Manuscrit français 20,794, leaves 728–738; 6) Manuscrit nouvelles acquisitions françaises 14,755. The oldest is Manuscrit français 20,794, which dates from the late 16th century. The last one, Nouvelles acquisitions 14,755, is a 19th-century copy of one of the others and can be left out of the discussion. Manuscrits français 2,145, 6,124, and 19,899 all appear to be copies made in the late 16th or early 17th century by the well-known and popular scribe, Robert Leprévost. Manuscrit français 3,884 is a copy from later in the 17th century and contains some notable variants from the earlier readings. Various printed editions of the Reprise have been made, utilizing one or the other of the manuscripts from the Bibliothèque Nationale or the present manuscript, but no fully comparative scholarly edition has been made.
