Catalanisches Streitgedicht zwischen En Buc und seinem Pferd.

(Zeitschrift für Romanische Philologie, 1877)

Das launige Gedicht steht auf Blatt 219a—222c der catalanischen

Handschrift 377 der Bibliothek zu Carpentras, derselben, aus welcher

A. Mussafia vor kurzem die sieben weisen Meister herausgegeben (Die

catalanische metrische Version der sieben weisen Meister, Wien 1876).

Vorausgeschickt ist dem Texte eine ausführliche sprachliche

Untersuchung, auf die ich mit M. und der Paragraphenzahl verweise.

Alles daselbst über den Testzustand Bemerkte gilt auch von unserm

Gedichte; die Ueberlieferung ist sehr verwahrlost, und fast die Hälfte

der Zeilen verstösst gegen das Silbenschema. Eine sichere Verbesserung

bot sich selten dar. Ich verwies dergleichen Vorschläge in die

Anmerkungen.[1] Das prothetische e des s impurum stellte ich, der

Hdschr. folgend, nicht her; dasselbe gilt selbstverständlich als

Silbe.

Es sei noch bemerkt, dass der ganze Codex in einer flüchtigen Cursivschrift abgefasst ist, deren Entzifferung in manchen Fällen mit voller Sicherheit nicht möglich ist; besonders leicht zu verwechseln sind wegen der oft völlig zutreffenden Aehnlichkeit der Züge einerseits q, g, y, @, andrerseits c, l, r, s und manchmal c. Starke Kürzungen finden sich sehr häufig.

Wegen des Inhalts sind zwei provenzalische Gedichte Bertran Carbonels (P. Meyer, Dern. Troubadours, S. 61—65) zu vergleichen, denen sich das altfranz. Plait Renart de Dammartin contre Vairon son roncin (Jubinal Nouv. Rec. II, 23—27) anreiht. Vergl. noch P. Meyers Note 1. c. S. 76. 2). Wegen der Beichte vergl. Renarts Beichte (II, 41 ff.) und wegen des Testaments das Testamentum asini.

219a Lectio epistole del trabayll

Oue en Buch moch ab son cauall.

En Buc car es hom de fe,

Repta son cauall de no-fe.

5 Dix li: "Cauall, per gran amor

(Per so con lo sap robador)

Te prech que nom aports

A uergoyna per los teus torts.

Tots mos scutlers m'an fets clams

10 Que a tu no duren liams

E que tota la nuyt uas solt

Tant tro quels as meniat e tolt

L'ordi que tenen los caualls,

E not basten munts ne ualls.

15 No as uergoyna, ben struch?

Con no prens aximpli d'en Buch?

Aximpli deus pendre de mi;

Be saps que anch nom abeyli

Pendre, tolrre ne amblar."

20 "Gran freturaus fa bon caylar",

Dix lo cauayll, "si deus m'aiut!

Noych sots per tal conegut,

Que seylls, quius conexen, dieu tots

Que mal hom e de mal plech sots,

25 E que mil bocs auets amblats,

Meyns de aquells c'auets meniats.

219d De pendra galines sabeu,

Per deu, non sab tant na Guineu!

D'emblar cabrits per les muntaynes

30 Mils que nul lop sabets les maynes.

D'entrar de nits en colomer

Mils que nul mart o sabets fer.

De tolre blat al laurador,

No uisques anch d'altra lauor.

35 De mala fama, dien, sots fort."

"Cauayll", dix en Buch, "els n'an gran tort,

Que yo per cert aquex no so;

Que lo meu payre aquex fo.

E per so con hac nom axi

40 Auets uos o pensat de mi.

Mas d'exo yo nom desment

Que lo meu payra longament

Ffo raubador e de mal plech."

Lo cauall ris tant ques assech;

45 Car nos pot en sos peus tenir,

Con aço li hac oyt dir.

Apres con li fo passat lo ris,

Encara en rient li dix:

"Si uostra payre fo aytal,

50 Per deu, lo fiyll nol sembla mal,

Tal lo payre, tal lo fill.

No fegits en .i. gran de mil,

Segons que eu ay uist de uos,

220a. En .i. cest uos tenits ab dos."

55 "Cauayll, fiyll de uil rossi!

Axo diras tu de mi?"

Dix lo cauall: "Nom desonrets,

Si doncs desonrar nous uolets."

"E quem pots tu dir, cauaylas?"

60 "Diray uos per cert Bucas."

"Eu te diray cauall trotador!"

"E eu a uos en Buch robador!"

"E eu te diray cauayll ueyll!"

"E eu a uos en Buch maseyll!"

65 "Eu te diray cauayll afoylat!"

"Eu a uos en Buch bandeiat!"

"Eu te diray caualas dur!"

"E eu a uos en Buch tafur!"

"Ara cayla, cauayll ueylot!"

70 "Mas cayla tu, Buc alcauot!"

"Cauayll, romanga lo desonrar;

Que ab mi no pots res guaynar,

Mas bastonades, si les vols,

Valran te mes que lart ab cols."

75 "En Buc, greu uos es, sapiats,

Con hom uos diu les ueritats."

"Ara cayla, cauaylas glot!"

"En Buch, de uos o apris tot.

Cant en uos uinch, si deus me sal,

80 No sabia fer nagun mal;

Mas tant uos en uey far souen,

Que nos mereueyla, sin apren.

220b E mereueyll me con nous nuiats,

Que nit e dia no uagats,

85 Per quen sots en mala rao."

"Dim, cauayll, si deus te perdo,

Les gents que dien de mi?"

"En Buch, tuyt dien enaxi

Que tant auets tolt e amblat

90 Que be degrets esser peniat,

Que dels ayns ha .XX. o plus;

Mas aytant con pux uos scus —-

Mas tant saben tuyt uostra afar

Que poch me ual mon scusar."

95 "Veiats doncs que porem far

Ne quin conseyll me poras dar,

Tant con eu no be mester.

Be saps que al re no se fer:

De fam forem morts tu e eu,

100 D'eço no pots morir per deu,

Sil robar el emblar no fos."

"En Buc, fets .i. compte uos,

Axi con uos fa por la fam,

Fassaus por lo ligam."

105 "Cauayll, be m'as aconseylat

E as me dita ueritat.

Conexs que saluar me posques?"

Dix lo cauall: "Hoc, si ades

Vos confessats ab leyal cor

110 Tot axi con hom ques mor,

Layns en paradis irets

220a E ual uos mes que sius perdets."

Dix en Buch: "Pagat ne so."

"Doncs fets uostra confessio."

115 "Vet doncs, cauall, que a tum confes,

E io met me dels mals afers

Que he fets, don me pogra esser star."

"Encara auets als a far,

Si beus uolets confessar,

120 Que res non falga, mot a mot."

"Hoc, dix ell, molt uolenter.

Eu ay raubat molt mercader,

No que tingues tort a mi,

Mas con passat pel cami

125 Molt altra per aquel semblant,

Quels anaua lo lur leuant.

Nous pensets que no leuas

Capa cauda que trobas,

Que si ay, ia deus o sap,

130 A mant hom leuada del cap.

Anch no porte fe bonament

A compayno ne a parent,

Pus res pogues auer del seu.

A un clerge de Sabadeyll

135 Embli .i. cot e .i. mantell

Mentre que deya les matines;

A un altra les galines,

A mon compara sabater

220d Embli, si en res o tenits,

140 Sabates qu'eu trasqui de nits

.xl. pareylls de la taut.

E tot quant mes yo he aut

Hoc emblat o m'o he pres,

Siu tenits en pecat, noy se res."

145 "En Buch, de ço que auets tolt

Pecat uos en roman desolt."

"Cauayll, saps que pogra auer fer deu?

Agues me dat de so del seu,

E no agra res tolt a nagu;

150 Que anch .i. balandran de bru

Nos pot uenar que anch me des,

Per mal arreat quem sabes.

A sent Miguel con ue l'iuern

Pogrem uenir piyor infern.

155 Cauayll, si nom donas conseyll,

Poca cura s'en dere deu."

"En Buc, axi con altre gent

Visquessets be o simplament

En pau de uostra iust trabayll."

160 "Arat prech quem digues, cauall,

Prech te que sies uertader,

Saps me tu altra mester

Que sabes fer mils que aquest?

Veig qu'en molt bon cars men seruesch.

165 Yo no so bo a mariner

Ne dins la mar no se res fer.

Mestre d'axa yo no so

Ne se fer barril ne flasco.

Missa yo no se dir,

170 Car anc no apres de legir.

No so sartra ne paliter

Ne tixador ne sabater.

No so jutge ne aduocat

Ne pledes ne hom letrat,

175 Encara qui es pits de mort,

No sabria dir si no tort.

Mercader no so ne se comptar,

Toj hom me pora enganar.

Encara so que meyns ual

180 Que nom atrobarets cabal.

Axim coue doncs a far,

Fendre e tolrre e amblar.

E tu nen apregons pus,

Que yo men passare dessus,

185 E deus crey que perdonar m'a."

"Doncs, dix lo cauall, bo sera!

Auets dits nostres pecats?"

"Cauall, tart serien comptats.

Cauall, un compte fe aytal

190 Que yo he fet poch be e molt mal.

Tos temps atrobi gran plaser

221 b. Que so d'altri posques auer.

Donem penetensa, sit plats,

E nom demans altres pecats."

195 "Volenter, dix lo cauall,

E nons metam en gran trabayll.

Veig que axit ne so assol,

Deus uos aura merce, sis uol.

Donats deçy queus ha deus dat

2OO A pobres gents per caritat."

"Aytal guayn puxes tu far,

Cauayll, com me saps conseylar.

De la ciuada que tu as

Veiam tu quen rendaras."

205 "En Buc, si saluar uos uolets,

Affer uos coue que donets."

"Aytant ayes tu sanitat,

Cauayll, com sera ueritat

Que yo do ne del mal meu

210 Per grat ne per amor de deu.

Ia sol no tem tal mes parlar,

Que mes me am perdre que saluar."

"En Buch, de so queus ha dat deus,

Non darets als pobres seus?"

215 "Cauayll, ans m'o he yo pres."

"Hoc, mas si deus nos uolges,

En Buch, nou aguessets uos pres."

"Doncs, cauall, si deus m'o ha dat,

221c Per que dius quen he pecat?

22O Cascun deu uiure de son art,

Aquest fo lo primer mester

Que haut he e sera lo derrer.

Mes amaria auer amblats

.XXX. carlins que dos donats.

225 Mes ne amaria auer tolts .C.

Que dos donats a pobre gent."

"Doncs pus no i uolets res dar,

En Buc, coueus a deiunar."

"Que dius, caual, dius que deiu?

230 E uist me anch deiunar tu?

Dignes que acaba a deu

L'endurar nel dejunar meu?

No deiuni anc per mon grat;

Verament ia he deiunat,

235 Con no auia que meniar,

Que nom gosaua demostrar,

Qu'estaua tot iorn amagat

Per tal com era beudeiat;

Mas puys com vania la nuyt,

240 Not pens que tingues peu en lit."

"Doncs, en Buc, no faret nul be?"

"Si fare com meyns pore.

Penitenciam dona leu,

Si vols que la tinga eu."

221d 245 "Pus que almoyne no volets far,

En Buc, ne volets deiunar,

Digats doncs oracions

E pregats deu a ionolons."

"Axot dich, cauall, que fare;

250 Mas quals oracions dire?"

"No sabets los psalms de Dauiu?"

"E cols sabre, si anch nois uiu?"

"No sabets los psalms penitencials?"

"Sils se, tin me per aul e per fals."

255 "No sabets lo pater nostra?"

"Sil se, tot quant he sia uostra."

"No sabets l'Ave Maria?"

"Si la se, caual, mort m'aucia."

"No sabets lo Credo en deu?"

260 "Sil se, peniat sies tui."

"No sabets Saluum me fac?"

"Sil se, quem tolgues lo cap."

"No sabets nuyla oracio?"

"No, cauall, si deus me perdo."

265 "E con avets viscut axi?"

"De pa e de carn et de ui."

"Hoc, mas ious dic de pregar deu."

"Cauall, tos temps men passi leu."

"E apreses hanc tant ne quant?"

222a 270 "Cauayll, be auets seny d'infant,

L'art que mon para m'a dat

Apres lo be, no m'es oblidat.

D'altre art ne d'altre saber

No agui anch cura de aver."

275 "Doncs pus no uolets res donar

Ne nous par bo lo deiunar

E pus deu pregar no uolets,

Qualque penitencia farets."

"Veiats quem he acordat

280 Per tal que non aia pecat.

Con amblare ne tolrre,

Dos o tres deners dare,

Sol que sia tal lo cabal,

Que a mi nou uayla mal;

285 Si embla molto o uadell,

Dar n'e lo uentre mas no la pell;

Si embla galina o capo,

La ploma els budells ne do;

E de tot peix dare l'escata,

290 E nou serquets altra barata;

Penitencia nom pots dar

Altra, dessot pots conortar."

Dix lo cauall: "Beu he entes,

222b. D'uy mes entre deu e uos es;

295 Nom par que siats cristia."

E dix en Buch: "A mi quem fa?

Vulles christia o jueu.

Pur en ben dez Buc suy eu,

En ayço no fas forsa gran.

300 Deus me do pa e ui e carn

E que trop roba que amblar."

Dix lo cauayll: "Si deus me saul,

En Buc, no m'o tingats en mal

So queus conseyll leyalment:

305 Vos fets uostra testament

E departits los uostres bens

Entrels amichs e los parents."

"Hoc", dix en Buch, "molt uolenter,

E leix mon fiyll per hereter,

310 E tots los meus capteniments

Sien seus per eretameuts,

E lex li tos los meus pecats

E que li sien deliurats

E mala fama e mal nom,

315 E que fassa tort a tot hom."

Dix lo cauayll: "Trop uos cuytats!

Lo uostra cors on lo lexats?"

"De mon cors, con sera mort,

No uull que hom sen trabayll fort.

222c 320 Eu leix lo cors e la peyll

E l'anima a Mon-Gibell;

Car aqui he pres hostal,

Que tos temps fuy uesat de mal;

No sabria star en bon loch,

325 Que tos temps hi stigui poch,

Vesat so de fret e de calt.

La on uull star on mes m'esalt,

No uull star en paradis,

Car nom asalta son pahis;

330 Car trop n'auria gran afayn,

Per que noy conech nul gazayn.

Mon testament a sa ualor,

Que non fare altra miylor."

En Buch son testament fet ha,

335 Morir se pot, sis uol, dema,

Axi con seyll qui be e gint

Ha ordonat son testament

K sos pecats be smenats

E tots sos torts fort be pagats.

340 Per que uos qui aço scoltats

la mes no uetlets ne durmats

Ne no posets ne uaguets

Le gint est libre tan poiets.

Deo gracias.

1. Manches musste ich unentschieden lassen, da mir die hiesige k. Univ. Bibliothek, die weder ein catalanisches Wörterbuch noch eine catal. Grammatik besitzt, gar nichts bieten konnte.

2. epistole] e[=p]le, lateinisch.

3. -1.

7. -2 (vielleicht que onta oder anta. wobei freilich in der nächsten Zeile E statt A stehen müsste).

14.-1 (ne te).

15. Deutlicher wäre mir malestruch.

19.-1 (ne t.).— Die Infinitive sind Subj. zu abeyli—emblar und amblar wechseln ab.

20. fretura 'Noth'.

22. Noych? Vielleicht Nul loch. Oder N'oych statt o-ï. Perfet, (prov. oïc) von oir ?

23. +1 [Que] oder dien einsilbig? Vgl. 35, aber 88.

24. plech, prov. pleg, von plicare, nicht placitum (cat. pleyt).

28. guineu 'Fuchs'.

29. per les] *pls..

30. mayna 'Kniff'.

31. colomer = columbarium.

36. + I [en] oder [gran].

39. con = que (oft).

41. dexo, immer zusammengeschrieben, wohl statt de xo oder so, s. M. 80. 1). || — i (no me).

47. +1 (coll).

51. -1 (Quar).

52. fegits (?) sollte seiner Endung nach 2. Pl. Praes. sein; denn Perf. wäre es oder is.—mil 'Hirse'.

54. cest 'Korb, Kiste', span. cesto.

55. 56. -1. || 60. -1 (en Bucas). || 6l. +1 (Eut). || 62. +l [E] oder [en]. || 65. +1 (Eut).

70. alcauot, auch prov. 'leno'.

71. +1 (romangal).

74. col, prov. caul.

79. beachte en.

82. 83. +1. mereueylar muss viersilbig sein. In 82 entweder nom mereueyl oder Nous mereueylats, (nos der Hdschr. kann nur no es sein). In 83 [E].—Mussafia freilich nimmt 1980 die Form ohne e an.

84. uagar 'aufhören', vgl. 342.

85. rao, ncat. raho = prov. razo.

87. -1. (ells nach dien).

91. -1 (vielleicht .xxx.).

95. -1 (nos).

97. no kann nicht n'o (habeo) sein, da dies nur he oder hay sein kann. Vielleicht ne he.

102. -1 (fehlt ein Vorwort, vielleicht a).

103. por 'Furcht'. || 104. —2 (vielleicht Axi aus der vorigen Zeile zu wiederholen). Gröber: Fassa uos paor.

110. -1 (qui se).

113. -1 (E oder yo).

115. +1 (qu'a). Ist uet = vec tu, wie veus = uec uos?

117. +2 (don mal me pogra estar).

119. -1 (vielleicht be u. c. tot, wenn die beiden o reimen können).

121. -1 (e molt). || 122. lies mercaders (?).

123. (tinguessen). || 124. -1 (?) || 125? || 127. -1 (No uos).

128. capa cauda, vgl. Wace, Rou 1988.

129. -1. (yo).

136. deya s. M. 57.

137. -1 (E a).

141. +1. Entweder del taut oder .xxx. p. del ataut. Beide Formen kommen vor, s. Diez I ataud, Rocheg. atauc und tauc, sowie Raynouard.

143. -1. Hoc ist auffällig; denn nur als Bejahung hat es die volle Form, sonst o; habui kann es nicht sein, dies lautet hac. Entweder O he oder Yo he (hac) oder agui u. s. f.

144. +1 (?).

147. Wenn man fer in fet ändert, wäre die Zeile dem Sinn nach richtig, aber um zwei Silben zu lang. Cauayll kann man schwer entbehren. Wegen pogra auer fet = agra pogut fer s. Diez Gramm, III³, 292 Anmerk.

149. +1 [E].

150. balandran = span.

151. uenar kann nur 'rühmen' heissen, also uentar statt uantar. Cat. ist zwar nd = n, kaum nt.

154. pogrem = pogra me. || piyor] [=piyor], s. M. 30 über puyar.

158. o] -v.

162. 1, vielleicht un,

164. cars] vielleicht cas.

167. -1, vielleicht Ne.

169. -2, vielleicht Santa.

171. sartra, prov. sartre, ncat. sastre, || paliter (?), vielleicht 'Maurer' von paleta 'Maurerkelle'.

174. pledes] nur so kann pled[=s] aufgelöst werden. Der 'Processführer' heisst (von plet) pledejaire oder pledejador, selbst pledejant, pledegista. Allein prov. auch plaides, das hier gemeint sein wird, daher so davor einzuschieben.

177. +1, vielleicht Mercer.

179. -1. meyns] me[=]ys, acat. (menys), nicht etwa in ncat. menos zu ändern. Es fehlt vielmehr die Negation: `Zudem, was <x>noch mehr</x> in Anschlag zu bringen ist, würdet ihr nie das dazu erforderliche Kapital auftreiben.

181. -1. Axi me.

183. -1. || apregonar = span., prov. pregonar (Rochegude, fehlt Rayn.). || non] vielleicht nou statt no o.

187. -1, vielleicht ia oder tots.

190. +1, yo weg.

192. altri = altruy.

193. Donem statt dona me s. M.4.

195. -1. Molt.

198. uoler reflexiv, vgl. 216. 335.

199. deçy] so. Lies de ço oder d'eço.

201. -1. Lies guazayn statt der contrahirten Form.

203. ciuada, prov. 'Hafer'.

204. [=qn] rendaras, sehr auffällig. Das Futur von rendir, das im Cat. in ganz beschränkter Bedeutung gebraucht wird, die hier nicht passt, könnte]* nur rendiras, höchstens renderas lauten; ein a ist unmöglich. Vielleicht si ne ren daras.

206. Affer] = A fer s. M. Glossar fer.

209. -1. Vielleicht res del mal tolt meu (?).

212. +1 (m'am).

214. -1. || seus] se@ (?), vielleicht lo seu (das seinige, nämlich 'Gottes') oder res a. p. s. 'seinen Armen'.

215. 216. -1. 217. nou] no u. || aguessets] a[(g]ets.

219. -1. (tu oder yo).

222. + 2. (Que hac oder Qu'agui, besser Qu'aut . . . seral d.).

239. nuyt, eigentlich cat. nit.

241. faret s. M. 91.

242. -1 (yo).

244. -1 (tu).

247. -1. || 248. deu] d[=@] d. h. deus.

253. zu lang.

254. aul = auol. || +1 (zweites per weg).

255. -1. || nostra] [=nr] d. h. noster.

257. -1. || Maria] m^a.

260. Als Reimwort muss stehen eu (vielleicht tu e eu). Das t von tui geht mit dem untern Ende weit nach rechts, unter u hin; das i hat keinen i-Strich und ist höher als u.

261. -1. || Saluum] salu[=ie].

262. -1 (uuyl).

265. auets] auest.

271. -1 (vielleicht donat, layssat).

272. +1 (lo weg).

275. uolets] uoltes. || 277. deu] d[=@].

278. penitencia ist 243. 291 fünfsilbig; man könnte qual lesen und eine Frage aus dem Satze machen.

279. -1 (que m'i).

281. (De tot c'. .).

282. -1 (ne).

283. deners] d[=rs].

284. -1 (no o).

285. Der Schreiber überschrieb a Von ambla mit e.

286. +1 [mas].

292. dessot = de so te.

298. (?) Cod.: Pur en b[=n] d[=z] buc suy eu.

300 f. Es fehlt ein Reimvers, und zwar wahrscheinlich zu gran, da carn mit amblar eher reimen kann.

302. saul (Reim al) s. M. 24. Vgl. 79:80.

304. -1 (que uos).

305. -1 (lo oder farets). 18. -1 (ell).

320. -1 (Que).

321. Mongibel auf Sicilien (Aetna), in altfranz. Romanen ein Feenort. Hier 'Hölle' (?).

322. -1 (yo oder mon).

325. lies estigui (I. Perfet, von estar).

327. +1 (erstes on zu tilgen). || esalt, 3. Conj. Praes. von esaltar, asaltar (329) = prov. asautar, azautar, s. Diez Wtb. II. c. Hier hätten wir und zwar im Reim die Formen mit l, deren Existenz Diez bestreitet. Allein da das Prov. nie l hat und unser Text so spät ist, ist wohl l in calt als vocalisirt zu betrachten, so dass caut mit esaut reimt.

330-331 afa[=y]: gasa[=y], auch ny (=ñ) geschrieben.

331. Per] P.

332. 334. 337. testament] t[=est].

336. gint (l. gent) s. M. 7.

338. esmenar = prov. esmendar. || 340. que] Gröber: deu.

341. uetlets von uetllar, prov. velhar.

342. -1 (ne no).

343. (?) t[=a] po [=jts]. (Legent est l. can porets).

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza #516, Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
