This Ace Book contains the complete text of the original hardcover edition. An Ace Book published by arrangement with University of Texas Press. copyright 1977 by Shaftesbury Publishing Company. Printing History. University of Texas Press edition published 1977. Berkley Edition / September 1978. Fifteenth Edition / November 1986. Ace Edition / September 1987. Second printing by line number. No exact date given. From the Title Page: The Book of Merlyn (over) The Unpublished Conclusion to (over) The Once and Future King (over) Prologue by Sylvia Townsend Warner (over) Illustrations by Trevor Stubley.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).
