It is none the less certain that after the lapse of a year she retained but an indistinct recollection of some of the important acts of her life. Finally, her constant hallucinations generally rendered her incapable of distinguishing between the true and the false. [Footnote 3: Jules Quicherat, _Proces de condamnation et de rehabilitation de Jeanne d'Arc_, Paris, 8vo, 1841, vol.i.
(Called hereafter _Trial_ .-- W.S.)] [Footnote 4: _Trial_, vol.i, p.
93, _passim_.] [Footnote 5: _Ibid._, vol.iii, pp.
89, 142, 161, 176, 178, 201.] The record of the trial is followed by an examination of Jeanne's sayings in _articulo mortis_.[6] This examination is not signed by the clerks of the court.
Hence from a legal point of view the record is out of order; nevertheless, regarded as a historical document, its authenticity cannot be doubted.
