Ernest Langlois

Ernest Langlois (1857-1924) was a French medievalist at the University of Lille.

He is best known for his 1910 work "Les manuscripts du Roman de la Rose, description et classement", on the manuscripts of the "Roman de la Rose" [Online text [http://www.archive.org/details/manuscriptsduro00languoft] ] and subsequent five-volume edition "Le Roman de la Rose par Guillaume de Loris et Jean de Meun". This latter work was for the Société des anciens textes français, and was a reconstruction into the supposed dialect of Orléans of the time; the work is regarded as uneven, with judicious choice of readings but arbitrary corrections of orthography [Daniel Poiron, p. 33 of 1974 Garnier-Flammarion edition of the "Roman".] .
