^manuscripts ofGesta Francorum variously haveDeus le volt,Deus lo vult, as well as the "corrected" formsDeus hoc vult andDeus vult. Winter (1890) cites Barth: "Barbaro-latina vulgi exclamatio vel et tessera est. Videri autem hinc potest, tum idiotismum Francicum propiorem adhuc fuisse latine matrici".Winter (1890) comments that the presence of theRomance article (lo,le) was very likely part of the original motto as shouted in Amalfi, as both the author ofGesta Francorum and that ofHistoria Belli Sacri report it.
