Excerpt from Versions Patoises de la Parabole de l'Enfant Prodigue
C'est cette collection devenue très rare, que ubus avons cru devoir rééditer. Elle ne saurait trouver indifférents les hommes qui étudient l'origine de notre langue. N'oublions pas que le français, avant d'acquérir sa précieuse unité, a été multiple et a possédé ces formes provinciales, dont il a heureusement conservé des traces profondes; elles consti tuent eu partie son originalité, sa force, sa clarté, et, en un mot, son génie.
