Partial Holograph Scribal Transcription of the Photostat of the Rosenbach (Faircopy) Manuscript (V.B.13. a ) of the "Circe" (15) Episode (1921)
The manuscript consists of 14 sheets of light yellow unruled paper, writing appears on the rectos only and the versos are blank, in the hand of Cyprian Beach in black ink, who also transcribed MS V.B.13.d.2–11. There are no revisions, but the amanuensis corrected some of the transcriptional errors on some sheets.
The sheets measure approximately 27.0 x 20.7 cm.
The sheets are not paginated but the corresponding page numbers of the text on Buffalo MS V.B.13.a (that is, of the Rosenbach manuscript) appear in the left margins of pp. [1], [2], [4], [6], [7], [9] and [11], [12] and [13].
The manuscript is a partial holograph transcription of Buffalo MS V.B.13.a by an amanuensis, from which the typescripts of this section of "Circe" were prepared (Buffalo MSS V.B.13.e–h). The text on the pages is as follows:

The transcription was prepared in late April or May 1921 in Paris by Cyprian Beach.
There are rust traces from 2 paper clips on pp. [1] and [14v] in the upper margin.
This manuscript has not been reproduced.
Probably realizing that the number of pages sent by Quinn exceeded the lacuna in the text, MS V.B.13.a, p. [10] does not appear to have been transcribed.
