Between vv. 813 and 814, after the laisse in which it is described how
Roland sends Gualter de l’Hum to guard the mountain passes, V4 and the
version rimée have an additional laisse:
V4 754: En Roncival si est Carlo entré. = C 1187: Envers les porz —
V4 755: Lassar el fist el dux Oger li bé: = C 1188: L’angande----

V4 760: Bataila avra, or li secora Dé. = C 1194

N’a l’avoir pris ch’il oit regellé. cp. C 1196
Ad Asia in Franga po fo a mort gugé. om. version rimée
Or se comenga la geste et lo berné. „ „ „
Kms has a similar addition at this point, but the text is unfortunately
preserved only in Bb, a having omitted it:
Nu er Rollant ok Oliver ok 12 jafningjar at Runzival ok liS be'rra ok man
J>eim skamt til bardaga. (cp. V4 757-60)
add: Ok er eigi lengra frå at segja (B only)
en hvi næst for Karlamagnus konungr heim til Frakklands, cp. V4 754
(p. 50117'20).
B alone has a further addition:
Her hefr upp ok seger fra herfQr Jreirri er karl Magnus konungr for til spania-
landz a hendr Marsilio konungi. ok eignadiz hinn bezsta lut af landi hans. i
bat sinn er hann
setti epter at landa mæri. bar sem mætiz frakland ok spania land til landz-
giezlu Rollant systr son sinn cp. V4 757
ok xi adra hofdingia mz honum. ha sem adr ero nefnder. cp. V4 758
medr bessum xij hofdingium uoro xx husundir hermanna34, cp. V4 759
This addition, which Unger has not even included among his variant
readings, is partly a repetition of what has already been said in v. 802:
Entr’els eslisent .XX. milie chevalers,

his edition of Cod. Verelianus and Fru Elins Bok of S (S2 and S3), Lund 1957,
p. XIII.
