For the Ibonia entry on the Madagascar page, Lee Haring notes that Lars Dahle received the manuscript from its owner, who supplemented it in conversation. A written copy and oral explanation came together on the way to the 1877 edition. The episode makes visible the contributions that can lie behind the text of an epic in print.
