Notes:

Pref. and introd. in English.

"The Spanish prose version of the life of St. Mary the Egyptian contained in the Escorial manuscript h-I-13 has been edited once before, by Hermann Kunst in Geschichte der Legenden der h. Katharina von Alexandrien und der h. Maria Aegyptica (Halle 1890), pp. 315-346." -p. v.

"The French prose version of the life of Mary the Egyptian from which the Estoria derives exists in five manuscripts which vary only very slightly from each other ... Baker has shown that for the most part this prose work is a free adaptation of the anonymous verse Vie de Sainte Marie l'Égyptienne. However, the reworker has also drawn on an earlier Latin version of the story ..." -p. xiv.
