“…The most attractive identification of these anonymous figures is perhaps the following: one of the two men may represent the French author/copyist of the debate to whom the Pucelle has taken her verbal account of her dream-vision, while the central figure is the English translator-author, and the figure to the right is the Pucelle. This woodcut uses a technique employed by Antoine Vérard in his Therence en francoys (1500-03), and Jardin de plaisance (1501), which is discussed by Martha Driver, Adrian Armstrong, and Jane H. Photograph reproduced by the permission of the Bibliothèque nationale de France 41 I am extremely grateful to Julia Boffey who generously shared her work on the English version of the Songe with me prior to its publication (see Boffey 2013). She also most kindly directed me to this woodcut which she had located.…”

Based on original archival and codicological research, this paper investigates the transformations and negotiations between manuscript and printed versions of fifteenth-century poetry through the specific example of one surprisingly complex debate poem, Le Songe de la Pucelle (The Dream of the Virgin). Our debate relates the choice that a female narrator must make between the respective appeals of two personifications, Love and Shame, who appear to her in a dreamvision. The manuscript tradition invariably collects the poem with other fifteenthcentury debates and moral texts, while the early printed copies tended to have experienced a prior separate circulation and often remain as monotextual pamphlets. Manuscript and printed copies of the same poem seem, then, to target different audiences. My paper investigates this curious divergence in the transmission pattern of the manuscript and printed versions of the Songe and seeks possible answers in the very different sets of images accompanying the text in manuscript and printed versions.
