The Hereward the Wake supplement. Numbered by chapters. This was originally published in parts, with issues of FNQ from April 1895. There are 36 chapters in all but my principal source has a gap of three issues (33, 34 & 35) so breaks off ⅞ of the way through Chapter XXX. The end of the story was therefore, not immediately available, when I decided to concentrate on bringing what was fully available, toward completion, before seeking another source for the rest. At present, those available chapters have all been transcribed but some need more thorough proof-reading and the completion of a commentary. Should you be impatient to know the details of the end of the story, there is a translation, without the Latin, by Bevis. This should be more generally-available than the FNQ. But I have now uploaded stop-gap versions of the chapters XXXI to XXXVI, based on material from the new source. RJP
