From the Title Page: The Book of Merlyn (over) The Unpublished Conclusion to (over) The Once and Future King (over) Prologue by Sylvia Townsend Warner (over) Illustrations by Trevor Stubley. The three essays are undated and are thereby dated to the first University of Texas press edition. The 1979 Fontana edition has them also. The last paragraph of the 'Publisher's statement': "Where Latin or Greek is not translated in the original manuscript, a translation has been kindly provided by Peter Green." As there are no notes, it is presumed that the translations are included in the body of the manuscript without differencing to separate them. A somewhat strange editorial methodology (IMO).
