(Excerpt from Guillaume De Dole: An Unpublished Old French...)
Excerpt from Guillaume De Dole: An Unpublished Old French Romance In an introduction of thirty verses the author dedicates his poem to Miles de Nantheuil (of whom later) and asserts his claim to being the first to intercalate chansons in such a work, an invention in which he boasts of having so happily succeeded in making the songs suit the circumstances they are intended to embellish, that they could readily be thought to be of his own composition. In the present analysis no attempt will be made to indicate these frequently recurring intercalations, which lend so graceful a charm and so pleasing a variety to the simple nar rative which follows.

Excerpt: ... REVIEW La Questione del "Fiore": articolo di Guido Mazzoni. Un ben ragionato articolo di Guido Mazzoni nel Giornale d' Italia del 1 gennaio, agile staffetta per un volume prossimo ad uscire di cui acuisce il desiderio, ha portato alla ribalta la questione, finora rimasta dietro le scene, di quel singolare prodotto che e il nostro Fiore: un'elaborazione del Roman de la Rose, colla quale i quattromila novenari di Guillaume de Lorris e i piti che diciottomila di Jean de Meung sono stati convertiti in tremila dugentoquarantotto endecasillabi, sotto forma di una serie di dugentotrentadue sonetti. Parlo di "questione," perche 1'interesse del Fiore culmina nel problema del suo autore: problema che ha appassionato i dantisti, e che ora, nell'anno memorando in cui siamo entrati, suscita vivo interesse in tutto quanto il pubblico non incolto. Si tratta nientemeno che di vedere se un'opera rimasta ignota fino a! 1881 possa appartenere a Dante. Per dimensioni, fra le poetiche, essa verrebbe a collocarsi subito dopo la Commedia. A giudicare dall' esperienza mia particolare, i lettori dello scritto del Mazzoni hanno per la maggior parte scrollato scetticamente le spalle; e si sono certo meravigliati sentendo che la tesi affermativa, suffragata gia vent'anni addietro con argomentazione ampia dal Mazzoni medesimo nella giubilare Raccolta di Studi critici dedicata ad Alessandro d'Ancona, avesse subito trovato assenziente Francesco d'Ovidio. Questi anzi rincaro e rincalz6. E se nell'animo del primo assertore erano rimaste incertezze, o perlomeno se al Mazzoni era parso doveroso di temperare in faccia agli altri la propria convinzione, il d'Ovidio si tenne oramai sicuro. Le spalle erano bensi state scrollate dal D'Ancona, che per il primo aveva fiutato di lontano il Fiore n...

He was born on March 13, 1854 at Woodstock, Ill. He was the son of a distinguished Presbyterian divine, the Rev. Richard Kimball Todd, and Martha (Clover) Todd, both of New England descent.
His early education was directed by his father. In 1876 he was graduated from the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University), where for the next four years he taught French.
In 1880 he went abroad to continue his studies, first at Paris, then at Berlin, where he followed the courses of Adolph Tobler, at that time the chief German authority on Old French syntax. Going thence to Rome, he worked for one semester under Ernesto Monaci, a leading philologist of Italy, after which he passed to the Central University of Madrid in order to attend, during one semester, the courses of the literary critic Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo.
Returning to Paris in 1882, he spent a year studying Romance philology and literature, as well as Sanskrit, under Gaston Paris, Paul Meyer, Arsène Darmesteter, and Abel Bergaigne.
At Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore he was awarded the degree of Ph. D. in 1885.
He was commissioned by the Société des Anciens Textes Français--the first American to receive that honor--to edit for its series an Old French text, Le Dit de la Panthère d'Amours (Paris, 1883), by Nicole de Margival.
From 1883 to 1891 he was instructor in Romance languages at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. During this time he collaborated with A. Marshall Elliott in founding and editing Modern Language Notes, of which the first number appeared in January 1886, and in organizing the Modern Language Association of America (1883).
He later served as treasurer of the Association (1886 - 91), member of the editorial committee (1894 - 95), member of the executive council (1893, 1908 - 11), and president (1906).
He was called to Leland Stanford University as professor of Romance languages and head of the department. Two years later (1893) he became professor of Romance philology at Columbia University, a chair that he held until his death. He was one of the chief organizers of the celebration held in March 1894 to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Friedrich Christian Diez, the founder of Romance philology; in collaboration with Adolphe Cohn, he founded and edited until his death the Columbia University Studies in Romance Philology and Literature; and in 1909, with three colleagues, he founded at Columbia the Romanic Review, a quarterly journal devoted to research in Romance philology and literature, the first of its kind to be established in the United States.
With Raymond Weeks, he continued joint editorship of the Review until his death.
In 1919 he was sent to France by the United States government as a member of the mission de rapprochement.
His chief publications include the following editions of Old French manuscripts: "Guillaume de Dole" (Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, vol. II, 1886); "La Naissance du Chevalier au Cygne" (Ibid. , vol. IV, 1889), a French poem of the twelfth century; "La Vie de Sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie" (Ibid. , vol. XV, 1900); "The Old French Versified Apocalypse of the Kerr Manuscript" (Ibid. , vol. XVIII, 1903); "An Unpublished Fourteenth-Century Invocation to Mary Magdalen" (Studies in Honor of A. Marshall Elliott, vol. I, n. d. ); and, in collaboration with F. C. Ostrander, Li Romans dou Lis (1915).
He died in New York City. After his death his colleagues, friends, and pupils issued the Todd Memorial Volumes: Philological Studies (2 vols. , 1930), edited by John D. Fitz-Gerald and Pauline Taylor.

He was a life member of the Institut Français aux États-Unis; president of the committee on courses and lectures of the Institut; president of the French Union, university branch of the Institut, from 1917; and vice-president of the council of administration of the Musée d'Art Français.
