These are the edition's working notes, published as they were written. They record, work by work, where Migne's plate is defective or the reading uncertain: the printed form, what the English does with it, and why. They are not a groomed apparatus. Where a note argues with itself, withdraws an earlier decision, or leaves a question open, that is the record of how the reading was actually reached, and it is left standing — a conjecture that is visible can be checked, and one that has been tidied away cannot.
The English never silently repairs the page. A construable but wrong reading is rendered literally and the conjecture is recorded here, never applied to the text. How the English is produced and checked →
Cols 0469A–0520B, 20 chunks, translated 2026-08-31 in four concurrent stints (0000–0004, 0005–0009, 0010–0014, 0015–0019). This is the merged cruces file — runbook step 4. The four stint files are preserved unmerged as cruces-0005.md / cruces-0010.md / cruces-0015.md for their full working detail; this file is the single reconciled record.
Work-wide conventions fixed at merge
Two drift sites were found and reconciled across the four stints; everything else agreed on first pass.
usque ad→ as far as, not "down to." Chunks 0000–0004 (the first stint) had fixed "down to"; chunks 0005–0019 (the other three, independently) used "as far as," citing the corpus precedent in siblings 8976/8965/8970/8981. Checked against 8976: 73 sites use "as far as," 1 uses "down to." "As far as" is the corpus convention; 17 sites in 0001.md/0002.md/0003.md were corrected to match (sed -i 's/\down to\/\as far as\/g'over those three files, verified againstverify-english.mjsafter).justitia/justitia Dei→ "justice," never "righteousness." All four stints agreed independently (cruces.md §Register, cruces-0005.md §V). No drift found in the body text on a corpus-wide grep.
Everything else checked clean at merge: fomes/propassio stayed italic Latin throughout (no stint anglicized them), praevaricatio-family stayed "transgression," Pattern 17 (thou/you) was applied consistently by grammatical number in all four stints, and no stint introduced an em-dash or a guillemet.
⚠ Plate-read state — READ THIS BEFORE THE PLATE GATE
data/plate-notes/coverage.json records this work as coverage partial: only PL 114 pp. 240 (cols 469/470) and 265 (cols 519/520) were read at the plate before chunking (2026-08-29, the plate spot check). Everything below is additional plate reading done DURING this translation session, by two of the four stints.
Cols 0481A–0494D (the 0005–0009 stint) were read at the plate on TWO independent witnesses — archive.org patrologiaecurs06saingoog (page = (column+11)/2, but this copy clips margins and carries ink damage in this range) and Gallica ark:/12148/bpt6k54939667 (f = (column+1)/2, clean). The read withdrew six candidate defects as scan artefacts and confirmed one ([cj:] at 0493B) and one Vulgate divergence set (3 [var:], listed below) — see cruces-0005.md §P for the full account.
All other columns in this work (0471A–0480D, 0494A–0518D, i.e. most of the chunks 0000–0004, 0010–0014, and 0015–0019 stints) stand on UNREAD plates. Under CLAUDE.md hard rule 8a, no [sic:] or [var:] may be fired in the text on an unread column. Every candidate from those three stints is logged below as ⬜ MARKER OWED, with the type carried untranslated and the sense supplied in plain words beside it (7a⁗) where the carried run governs the clause. Two ways to close each one: read the column, or withdraw it (per the 0005–0009 stint's own experience, expect roughly half to withdraw).
data/plate-reads.json entry: WRITTEN (this is the JSON plate-gate.mjs actually reads — coverage.json is a separate record for the plate-notes/asterisk-layer apparatus). Three read ranges recorded: 0469A–0470D (p. 240, the chunking-time spot check), 0481A–0494D (pp. 246–252, the two-witness read done in the 0005–0009 stint this session), 0519A–0520B (p. 265, the chunking-time spot check).
Columns still needing a plate read before this work can ship ours clean of owed markers: 0471–0480 (chunk-0000-0004 stint, 6 candidates + 1 fired [var:] at 0470A already licensed), 0495–0518 (chunks 0010–0014 and 0015–0019 stints, 10 candidates). See the tables below for exactly which columns and what's at stake at each.
§1 · Markers fired in the text (licensed — stand on read columns)
0470A — [var:], Acts 13:2 (chunk 0001)
Printed: Segregate mihi Barnabam et Paulum in opus ad quod assumpsi eos [n: (Act. XIII)]. Vulgate: segregate mihi Barnaban et Saulum. Material — the surrounding gloss is about precisely the change of name Saulus→Paulus (BED., AUG., AMB., HIER.), so a lemma reading Paulum removes the very form the argument turns on. [var: Vulg. Acts 13:2 Saulum, "Saul," where Migne prints Paulum.] Col 0470 is plate-read (p. 240) — licensed.
0487B–C — [var:], Rom 5:20 (chunk 0007)
Migne: Ubi abundavit delictum, superabundavit et gratia. Vulg: Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit gratia. [var: … without et]. Plate-verified on both witnesses (archive p. 249 / Gallica f244).
0485C — [var:], Wisdom 2:24 (chunk 0006)
Migne: Invidia diaboli mors intravit in hunc mundum. Vulg: invidia autem diaboli mors introivit in orbem terrarum. Three divergences at once, and the quotation has been conformed to the wording of Rom 5:12 (the verse being expounded), not to the Vulgate. [var: Vulg. Sap. 2:24 …, "into the whole earth"]. Plate-verified, p. 248.
0491B — [var:], Exod 20:17 (chunk 0009)
Migne: Non concupisces rem proximi tui vel uxorem. Vulg: Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem ejus. Migne's rem is precisely the generalizing word the gloss then argues from (Generalem, quia ex ea omne malum). [var: …]. Plate-verified on both witnesses (p. 251 / f246).
0493B — [cj: ab; read ad, "to"] (chunk 0009)
Printed impotens surgere ab bonum operandum, confirmed identical on both plate witnesses — this is Migne's own printing, not a scan artefact. ab is a real preposition and renders in place ("powerless to rise from the doing of good"), which is the exact reverse of the paragraph's sense (naturale est quodammodo bonum velle per rationem). Pattern 18's founding shape: Migne's word keeps its English, the conjecture ad stands beside it. ab + accusative is ungrammatical, which is the evidence.
0501C — [cj: volentem; read nolentem, "him that willeth not"] (chunk 0013)
The most substantive finding of the whole run. Migne prints volentem praevenit ut velit, volentem subsequitur ne frustra velit — the formula is Augustine's (De natura et gratia; Enchiridion 32): nolentem praeveniat ut velit, volentem subsequatur ne frustra velit — grace goes before the man who does NOT will, and follows the man who does will. With volentem printed twice the first clause is vacuous and the antithesis the whole gloss argues collapses. The type is not broken (volentem is a real form), so [sic:] has nothing to wrap; the word that went wrong is a negation (the no- of nolentem), Pattern 18a's class. The gloss is additive: Migne's printed word keeps its English, the conjecture stands beside it. ⬜ This column (0501) is unread — the marker is placed per Pattern 18a's licence for a negation-class conjecture, but confirm at a plate read before deploy; if it is not settled by the plate the marker still stands (18a does not require a read the way [sic:]/[var:] does, since it accuses no one — see 8993's session note on this class).
§2 · UPDATE 2026-08-31 — the eight owed markers were read at the plate; seven withdrawn
All eight [sic:] candidates logged as owed in this section (cols 495, 497×2, 500, 504×2, 512×2, 517) were carried to the plate this session. Seven were Corpus Corporum's own corruption, not Migne's — dropped/doubled letters, transposed letters, one fused pair of words, one split single word, and one lost to the archive.org scan's margin clipping (recovered clean on the Gallica witness). Only one — 0497B revela — is confirmed as Migne's own printing and stands in the text, now plate-licensed (see plate-gate.mjs 8996, clean).
Full findings, page numbers, and witnesses: data/tei-patches/8996.json. The seven corrected Latin+English pairs are already applied in place in src/latin/8996/ and src/english/8996/; data/plate-reads.json records the six additional read ranges. This is the fourth work in this volume where the plate read creates or withdraws markers rather than merely confirming them (see 8993, 8981 sessions) — the false-positive rate on [sic:] candidates that never reach the plate continues to run far higher than the corpus's older frequency-based estimates suggested.
The original owed-marker table below is kept for the record of what each candidate looked like before the read; every row it lists as ⬜ MARKER OWED on cols 495/497/500/504/512/517 is now resolved per the paragraph above and no longer stands as written.
§2a · Markers still owed on cols 0471–0480 (chunks 0000–0004) — NOT yet read
From chunks 0000–0004 (cols 0471–0480)
| col | chunk | reading | not-a-word / conjecture | sense supplied per 7a⁗ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0476A | 0003 | sulvat | conj. salvat | "Does the law alone save, sulvat?" — clause's only verb |
| 0480A | 0004 | uod | conj. quod | "by foretelling uod, that which…" — relative pronoun |
| 0480D | 0004 | excludanturii | conj. excludantur ii (Ps 67:31, Pattern 10 fused + a [var:] also owed — Vulg. excludant eos) | "excludanturii, that they may be shut out, who are proved" |
⬜ 0472A — Hab. 2:4, ex sua fide for in fide sua. Marker owed but NOT recommended even after a read: the gloss itself names and adjudicates the divergence in its next sentence. ⬜ 0478D — Acts 10:35, Deum for eum, and et operatur iustitiam dropped. The dropped clause is the works-condition the verse is adduced to prove; recommend firing after a read. ⬜ 0476C — Rom 2:19, Decem esse for Ducem esse ("To be ten" for "a guide of the blind," and the gloss at once expounds the blind). This is a lemma (quoted scripture), so Pattern 18's boundary makes the correct marker [var:], not [cj:]. The single most misleading column in the whole work for a reader without the apparatus — read this one first when the remaining plate work is done.
From chunks 0010–0014 — RESOLVED, see §2
All six candidates in this range (0495A, 0497B, 0497D, 0500C, 0504C, 0504D) were read at the plate 2026-08-31; five withdrawn, one (0497B revela) confirmed and licensed. See §2 and data/tei-patches/8996.json.
⬜ 0504B — John 15:3, verbum quod for Vulgate sermonem quem. STILL OWED — this column was not part of the read (the read covered 495/497/500/504C-D, not 504B specifically; the John 15:3 quotation sits earlier in the same column and was not checked against the plate this pass). The lemma under exposition (Rom 10:8, Hoc est verbum fidei) is adduced precisely for the word verbum, which the Vulgate's sermonem does not contain — conforming would delete the keyword the note is built on (7a″). [var: Vulg. sermonem] is defensible; reconsider on the next plate pass.
From chunks 0015–0019 — 0512D and 0517C RESOLVED, see §2
All three carried-type candidates in this range (0512D ×2, 0517C) were read at the plate 2026-08-31; all three withdrawn as Corpus Corporum's own corruption. See §2 and data/tei-patches/8996.json. The three [var:] candidates below are UNCHANGED — a different class, still unread:
⬜ 0509C — Rom 11:32, in infideli for Vulgate in incredulitate. ⬜ 0511D — Luke 12:49, nisi ardeat for Vulgate nisi ut accendatur. ⬜ 0515D — Ezek 33:12, non proficiet ei, si erraverit for Vulgate non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit. All three logged as [var:] candidates pending a plate read; see cruces-0015.md for the full table (Rom 12:2, Jas 2:13, John 14:27-transposed, and the unmarked Jer 48:10 allusion are also there, judged immaterial or unmarked-by-Migne).
§3 · The 0470B asterisk note — handled
Migne's asterisk-layer note at col 0470B, injected in the Latin as [cn: | Quiquid ex Haymonis episcopi Halberstatensis in Epistolas Pauli expositione in hac sua expressit Glossa Walafridus, requirat Lector inter opera ipsius Haymonis Patrologiae, tom. CXVI, CXVII et CXVIII. Edit.], is editorial PROSE, not a locator, so under Pattern 15 and the 2026-08-24 asterisk-layer ruling it took a translated [nt: …] at the same position in the English, immediately after [0470B]VERSE 2.-- . The Latin keeps [cn:]; the English carries no [cn:] at all (Pattern 19). Quiquid is transcribed as printed and very likely Migne's own setting for Quidquid*; read at 300 dpi, not re-checked at higher magnification — the [nt:] renders the sense and does not depend on resolving the form.
§4 · Sentences rendered as printed, deliberately left unrepaired (no marker of any kind)
The full list with reasoning lives in the four stint files. The load-bearing ones, by column:
- 0481A–B — Non quin credens post per dilectionem non debeat operari — two negatives, both carried, sentence left as broken as printed (Pattern 7).
- 0483B — …iram operaretur, quia praevaricationem, quod qualiter sit, aperit — governing verb supplied in brackets, visible as ours.
- 0471C — etsi non sentitis, sed sic, consolaremur — sed with no answering member, rendered literally, left unrepaired.
- 0476A — non qui ante erant factores justificabuntur — carried negative, sentence left broken, two readings possible, neither preferred.
- 0510D (×2), 0511C, 0507A, 0507C, 0506D, 0518A — see cruces-0015.md §"Readings rendered as printed" for the full set; none construes cleanly, all carried literal, none repaired.
- 0512C — Non sunt timore boni (ablative for Vulgate's dative timori) treated as Pattern 9 orthography, not a defect; flagged for reconsideration if a plate read shows otherwise.
- Terminal-stop omissions carried per Pattern 8: 0514A, 0508A, 0516B end with no stop in Migne, none supplied.
- 0520A — Pattern 8b applied: an indirect question closed with
?(qui quaerunt cur…?) turned direct behind a colon so the printed mark survives English syntax. The only Pattern 8b application in the run besides 0476D (chunk 0004, Quaeritur quomodo… proderit? → "It is asked: how does he here say… ?").
§5 · Vulgate / received-text divergence tables — the full deliverable
Every scripture lemma in all 20 chunks was checked word by word against the Vulgate before the English was written (7a″), independently by all four stints. Full tables, including every "agrees" and "immaterial" entry named for auditability, are preserved in the stint files:
- Chunks 0000–0004: this file's original table (18 lemmata) — folded above into §1/§2.
- Chunks 0005–0009:
cruces-0005.md§S (14 lemmata, 3 fired[var:], folded above into §1). - Chunks 0010–0014:
cruces-0010.md(26 lemmata, 0 fired — all on unread columns). - Chunks 0015–0019:
cruces-0015.md(26 checked-and-agreeing + 7 material + 13 minor).
Total for the work: ~84 lemmata checked, 5 [var:] fired (all plate-licensed), 5 more logged as owed pending a plate read of cols 471–480/495–518.
§7 · Polarity read (step 4a) — 2026-08-31, three blind readers, all 20 chunks
Three readers, each blind to this cruces file until after forming findings, covered chunks 0000–0006 / 0007–0013 / 0014–0019 (all 20 chunks, full read, no sampling — 15,689 + [pending] + 17,321 words recorded so far). Every chunk named clean or not; see reader reports for full detail. Two results:
- Chunks 0000–0006: zero new defects. Three Migne-side contradictions found (0476C Decem/Ducem, 0481A–B Non quin…non debeat, 0481C–D Ad Deum autem habet gloriam) were all already logged and correctly left unrepaired. One apparatus bug found and fixed: the third finding was mis-filed under col 0484A in
cruces-0005.md(corrected above, this section). - Chunks 0014–0019: ONE new OUR-side defect, fixed. Col 0510A/B (chunk 0016) — Augustine's note (De natura boni 27) turns on the distinction between de ipso (of God's own substance) and ex ipso (from/out of God, i.e. as source); our English had rendered both "of him," collapsing the distinction the note exists to draw and leaving "Not all things are of him" flatly contradicting the next sentence's "all things are of God." Fixed: Non de ipso sunt omnia now renders "Not all things are of his own substance," which both restores the sense and removes the apparent self-contradiction. No
[cj:]needed — this was our translation choice, not a defect in Migne's Latin.
- Chunks 0007–0013: zero OUR-defects. The known crux at 0501C (volentem/nolentem, Augustine's formula) was independently re-found and confirmed correctly handled. Two new low-confidence Migne-side observations, both left unmarked pending a plate read (neither is an OUR defect, so neither was repaired): 0492B Et justum, id est justificans peccatorem — "justifying" sits oddly against this same chapter's own non justificare (0490A) and indicem peccati, non [a] justificatorem (0491A); possibly judicans for justificans. 0496B Filius Israel non dicitur irae — nominative singular against the parallel clause's dative plural Spiritus irae Aegyptiis dicitur; almost certainly Filiis Israel. Neither changes the sense enough to warrant a marker without the plate.
Total for the run: 3 readers × 20 chunks (all of them, no sampling), ~54,000 words. 7 polarity sites raised, 6 Migne-side (all correctly left unrepaired, none new to the corpus's findings beyond the two low-confidence notes above), 1 OUR defect found and fixed (0510A/B). Recorded via polarity-record.mjs 8996 --chunks 20 --sites 7 --ours 1.
- Column-band arithmetic across all 20 chunks: bands skip and repeat in the usual way; no text breaks mid-word or mid-construction across any anchor. Checked, not real.
[n: (Ibid. XVI)]at 0479A resolves against Matth. XXIII two clauses earlier (→ Matt. 16:4) — correct; a following Ibid. is never proposed for correction.(cont.)on repeated##heads — chunk-boundary artefact throughout, not Migne's.
Anselm of Laon and his school, on Romans. This file covers one stint only — chunks 0005–0009, cols 0481B–0493D, 5,402 Latin words → 7,971 English (1.48×, apparatus stripped). Three other stints hold the rest of the 20 chunks; the merge step reconciles this file with theirs. Filename is cruces-0005.md by instruction, to avoid clobbering a peer.
Apparatus fired in this stint: 3 [var:] · 1 [cj:] · 0 [sic:] · 0 [d:] · 0 [ed:] · 0 [nt:]. verify-english.mjs clean across all 20 chunks. Column anchors, [n:] notes, paragraph counts and ## heads all at exact 1:1 parity with the Latin twins. Zero guillemets (Migne prints none in this range), zero em-dashes.
§P · THE PLATE READ — TWO WITNESSES, AND IT CHANGED FIVE VERDICTS
⭐ This is the most important section in the file. Every column of this stint (0481–0494) was read at the plate before any marker was fired, on two independent witnesses. Six of the seven things this stint would otherwise have marked as defects in Migne's type turned out not to be Migne's at all — five were ink/scan damage in one particular copy, one was an ordinary line break. Nothing here reached the English as a [sic:].
The two witnesses and their page maps (both calibrated against the printed corner numbers)
| witness | address | map | verified on |
|---|---|---|---|
archive.org patrologiaecurs06saingoog (on disk, raw/scans/pl114/) | PDF page | page = (column + 11) / 2 | p. 217 = cols 423/424 |
Gallica ark:/12148/bpt6k54939667 (IIIF, one HTTP request per page) | leaf f<N> | f = (column + 1) / 2 | f242 = cols 483/484 |
Gallica IIIF, User-Agent required: https://gallica.bnf.fr/iiif/ark:/12148/bpt6k54939667/f<N>/full/1600,/0/native.jpg
⛔ The two maps differ by five leaves. They are not interchangeable. Calibrate before every use.
⛔⛔ THE ARCHIVE.ORG COPY OF PL 114 IS BAD IN THIS RANGE. It clips the outer margin on pp. 246 (col 481), 247 (col 484), 251 (col 492) — whole line-openings or line-endings gone — and it carries ink damage that reads exactly like broken type. The Gallica copy is clean on every one of those pages. CLAUDE.md's ⭐⭐ rule ("unreadable is a fact about your copy") is the reason this stint ships no false accusation against Migne; it should be read as a positive recommendation to use Gallica first for PL 114, not merely as a fallback.
Withdrawn on the second witness — all five were the archive copy, not the plate
| column | archive copy shows | Gallica shows | verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0482C | ante baptismun culpa | ante baptismum culpa | archive ink damage. Our twin is right. |
| 0482C | sed remanet secndum actum | sed remanet secundum actum | archive ink damage. Our twin is right. |
| 0487C | Hoc dicere est osse ingratos | Hoc dicere est esse ingratos | archive ink damage. Our twin is right. |
| 0488B | Per unum Diem simpla | Per unum diem simpla | archive ink damage. Our twin is right. |
| 0493C | quia nec bonum illud quod nolo | quia nec bonum illud quod volo | archive ink damage. Our twin is right, and this is the dangerous one: nolo inverts the clause and would have been "found" by any Latin-vs-English reader working from that copy alone. |
Two smaller ones went the same way: 0493A et si / etsi and 0493B's comma after naturaliter — both archive artefacts, both matching our twin on Gallica.
Confirmed on BOTH witnesses — the one real thing
0493B ab bonum operandum. ab + accusative, printed identically on both copies. This is Migne's, and it is the sole [cj:] of the stint (§C below).
The two "split words" that are NOT split words
⚑ Both of this stint's apparent Pattern 10 word-division defects are line breaks in Migne that Corpus Corporum re-joined with a space. Neither is a defect in the type, and neither takes a [sic:]:
- 0481C
pro mittentia— the plate breaks promittentia between lines (…Mystica ergo et pro/mittentia, in Evangelio…). The archive copy shows a hyphen after pro; the Gallica copy does not. Either way the break is typographic, not a broken sort. Rendered "those that promise." - 0485D
imputa batur— the plate breaks imputabatur asimputaba-/tur, i.e. the digitization did not even split it where Migne did. Rendered "was imputed", with the sense supplied in plain words per 7a⁗ (the run was the clause's only predicate).
⭐ The generalizable finding: in this book, a space inside a word in our Latin is a line break until the plate says otherwise. Both instances would have shipped as [sic:] under a file-only workflow, and both would have been false claims against Migne's compositor.
Ledger entry owed (NOT written here — data/plate-reads.json is shared with peer stints)
The merge step should add, under works:
`` "8996": [ { "from": "0481A", "to": "0494D", "depth": "read", "witness": "gallica ark:/12148/bpt6k54939667 (f241-f247) + archive patrologiaecurs06saingoog (pp. 246-252)", "note": "chunks 0005-0009 stint, 2026-08-31. Both witnesses; archive copy clips margins and carries ink damage on cols 481, 484, 487, 488, 492, 493 - see cruces-0005.md SS-P. Licenses the 3 [var:] and 1 [cj:] in 0007-0009." } ] ``
data/plate-notes/8996.tsv already carries the work's one asterisk note (p. 240, col 0470); no foot-of-page apparatus was seen on pp. 246–252 in either witness. That is a by-the-way observation from a read made for other purposes, not a coverage claim.
§V · VOCABULARY FIXED IN THIS STINT — later stints and the merge should inherit
| Latin | English | why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| justus · justitia · justificare · justificatio | just · justice · justify · justification | The whole of Rom 3–7 as Migne glosses it is one argument built on this root. "Righteousness" would break every gloss that turns on justus/justificatus (0481A–B; 0482A). Never "righteousness". | |
| praevaricatio · praevaricator · praevaricari | transgression · transgressor · to transgress | Held apart from peccatum (sin), iniquitas (iniquity), delictum (offence). The distinction IS the argument at 0483B–C: Qui enim legem non acceperunt, iniqui dici possunt, praevaricatores autem dici non possunt. Collapsing any two of the four destroys that sentence. | |
| delictum | offence | Rom 5:20's Ubi abundavit delictum and its whole exposition (0486C, 0487A–B). | |
| culpa · poena | fault · punishment | Set against each other as a pair at 0488B (in culpa et poena), and again at 0482C. | |
| fomes | fomes (italic Latin, invariable) | Register rule: technical term with no clean English exponent. Occurs 0482B, 0488D, 0491D, 0492B, and the gloss at 0488D defines it (nomen est fomitis, scilicet vitii innati), so an English word would make the definition circular. ⚠ A merge partner rendering it "tinder" would be drift — flag if seen. | |
| propassio | propassio (italic Latin) | Same class; 0488D names it as one of three technical stages beside delectatio and consensus, which ARE Englished (delight, consent) because they have exponents. | |
| charitas | charity · dilectio, amor | love | Inherited from the sibling 8976 §V. charitas at 0484B–C, 0492A. |
| amare / diligere in the 0482B doublet | to love / to hold dear | ⚠ Deliberate local exception. Migne sets them side by side — illum credendo amare, credendo diligere — so one English word for both would print as our own dittography. Everywhere else dilectio/diligere is plain "love" (0484C Deus late nos diligit). Do not sweep this to uniformity without reading the line. | |
| virtus | decided per occurrence | 0484B testimonio virtutis, id est patientiae vel miraculorum → virtue (the gloss's first exponent is patience); 0493B deest virtus perficiendi → strength. Migne's one word covers both and English has no single equivalent. | |
| usque ad (the excerpt formula) | as far as | Inherited from 8976/8970/8965. 8 occurrences in this stint. | |
| quasi dicat | as if he should say | Inherited from 8976. | |
| VERS. N.-- | kept verbatim, untranslated | 8976 precedent, corpus-wide for this genre. Migne prints VERS 19. without the point at col 0486D in the archive copy and VERS. elsewhere; the digitization normalizes and so do we (Pattern 9, section labels). | |
| CAPUT N. | CHAPTER N. | Head text translated, ## structure 1:1. (cont.) on 0005's head is our chunk division, not Migne's. | |
| Ecclesia / spiritus | capitalization mirrors the plate | 0486B salvatur Ecclesia capitalized; 0490D scilicet spiritus in quibus and 0483D per spiritum regenerationis lowercase against capitalized Spiritus at 0484B–C. All mirrored. Verified on the plate; not our slip. |
Second person (Pattern 17). Every archaic token in this stint renders a grammatical singular and every "you" a grammatical plural. The singulars: 0482A Nihil boni fecisti … opera tua ("Thou hast done nothing good … Thy works"); 0482A Non tibi blandiaris; 0484C ne desperes; 0484D Mortuus est pro te, o homo mortalis, ut vivas cum illo and the four induit se / induet te clauses; 0491B Non concupisces rem proximi tui; 0491C quando … securus peccabas; 0492A Gladio tuo quem portabas … esto ergo humilis et poteris vincere; 0492D de se hoc tibi proponit, ne … desperes in te. The plurals: 0482B Non sic intelligatis; 0488D Ita et vos; 0489A–B Eratis enim … vestra autem sponte; and — the clean worked case — 0489D's John 8:36 Si Filius vos liberaverit, vere liberi eritis → "you", inside a paragraph whose surrounding prose is third-person. A reader can see the number change with no apparatus.
§S · VULGATE DIVERGENCE LIST — the deliverable
Every scripture lemma and quotation in cols 0481B–0493D was read word by word against the printed Latin before the English was written, and then against the Vulgate. The lemmata checked are named here so a later reader can re-run the check rather than take it on trust.
The bar used for firing [var:], stated so it can be argued with
A [var:] fires only where the divergence changes the sense, and only on scripture quoted AS a proof-text. It does not fire on a bare lemma head that clips a connective (enim, autem, ergo) or reorders two words — in a lemma-and-gloss commentary the lemma head is a pointer into the verse, and clipping is what pointers do. Marking those would put a [var:] on roughly a quarter of the paragraphs in this book and bury the three that matter. All of them are still listed below, because the list, not the marker, is the scholarly payload.
Fired — 3
- 0485C · Wisdom 2:24, quoted as a proof-text for original sin by propagation. Migne: Invidia diaboli mors intravit in hunc mundum. Vulg: invidia autem diaboli mors introivit in orbem terrarum.
[var: Vulg. Sap. 2:24 …, "into the whole earth"]. Three divergences at once (autem dropped, introivit→intravit, orbem terrarum→hunc mundum), and the direction is not random: the quotation has been conformed to the wording of Rom 5:12 (peccatum in hunc mundum intravit), which is the verse the paragraph is expounding. Plate-verified, p. 248. - 0487B–C · Rom 5:20, the verse the whole of CAPUT VI is a reply to. Migne: Ubi abundavit delictum, superabundavit et gratia. Vulg: Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit gratia.
[var: … without et]. Plate-verified on both witnesses, p. 249 / f244. - 0491B · Exod 20:17, adduced to decide whether concupiscentia in Rom 7:7 is general or specific — so the wording is load-bearing for the very question asked. Migne: Non concupisces rem proximi tui vel uxorem. Vulg: Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem ejus.
[var: …]. Migne's rem is precisely the generalizing word, and the gloss immediately answers Generalem, quia ex ea omne malum. Plate-verified on both witnesses, p. 251 / f246.
Logged, not marked — divergences that do not change the sense
- 0490B · Rom 6:14, quoted in prose: Migne Non estis sub lege, sed sub gratia; Vulg non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia. Word order + dropped enim.
- 0489D · John 8:36: Migne Si Filius vos liberaverit; Vulg Si ergo vos Filius liberaverit. Word order + dropped ergo. Sense identical.
- 0484A · 1 Cor 4:7 in prose: Migne quid habes quod non accepisti?; Vulg Quid autem habes….
- 0481B · Jas 2:26: Migne Fides sine operibus mortua est; Vulg ita et fides sine operibus mortua est. (Jas 2:20's otiosa is the other candidate; mortua fixes it as 2:26.)
- 0481B · 1 Cor 13:2: Migne Si habuero omnem fidem; Vulg et si habuero omnem fidem.
- 0483B · Rom 4:15 lemma head: Migne Lex iram operatur; Vulg Lex enim iram operatur.
- 0483C · Rom 4:19 lemma head: Migne Non est infirmatus; Vulg non infirmatus est.
- 0490C · Rom 7:3 lemma head: Migne Igitur vivente marito; Vulg Igitur, vivente viro. ⚑ The most substantive of the unmarked set — a lexical substitution, not a clipped particle — but maritus and vir are the same man and nothing in the gloss turns on the word. Named here because it is exactly the class a later reader should be able to find.
- 0492D · Rom 7:15 lemma head is truncated mid-clause: Non enim quod volo bonum, hoc ago; sed quod. Rendered truncated ("…but what."), stopping where the plate stops.
### Two locator observations (references, not readings — no marker, per the corpus rule that refDisplay keeps what Migne prints)
- ⚑ 0484C ·
[n: (Eccli. V)]points to the wrong book. The text quoted — Fons aquae tuae sit tibi proprius, et nemo alienus communicet tibi — is not in Ecclesiasticus 5. It is a close rendering of LXX Proverbs 5:17–18 (ἔστω σοι μόνῳ ὑπάρχοντα, καὶ μηδεὶς ἀλλότριος μετασχέτω σοι · ἡ πηγή σου τοῦ ὕδατος ἔστω σοι ἰδία), i.e. an Old Latin form, and it matches the Clementine Prov 5:17–18 (Habeto eas solus, nec sint alieni participes tui · Sit vena tua benedicta) in neither wording nor vocabulary. Note and text both plate-verified on both witnesses (f242 gives the line whole where the archive copy clips it). No[var:]fired: the marker's form requires naming a received reading for the passage cited, and there is none for Ecclesiasticus 5 — the divergence is in the reference, not in the text. The identification belongs here, and to the indexer'srefKey. - 0492D · Migne's
VERS. 16.heads what is Rom 7:15 in the Vulgate versification (Quod enim operor, non intelligo). A locator, normalized nowhere and corrected nowhere; recorded so the indexer is not surprised.
§C · CRUCES BY COLUMN
0481A–B — Non quin credens post per dilectionem non debeat operari. Two negatives, both carried: "Not but that the believer ought not afterwards to work through love." The sentence the argument requires is affirmative (works do follow justification — the next clause is Sequuntur enim opera justificatum), and non quin + non debeat as printed will not deliver it. Rendered as printed per Pattern 7; the reading intended is almost certainly Non quin … debeat operari. No marker: both words are real and both render in place.
0481C — additur. et quod lex venturum promittebat. Migne prints a full stop and then a lowercase et, on both witnesses. Pattern 8 keeps the stop; English orthography supplies the capital ("And what the law promised…"), because a lowercase sentence-opening in English reads as our typesetting error and has no exponent for the Latin fact. The Latin twin carries the plate's lowercase, so nothing is concealed. This is a capitalization decision, not a punctuation one; no mark was added or deleted.
0481C — pro mittentia. See §P. Line break, not split type. "those that promise."
0483B — vel reos faceret temporalibus poenis iram operaretur, quia praevaricationem, quod qualiter sit, aperit, dicens. Will not construe as printed: two finite verbs in asyndeton (faceret … operaretur) and praevaricationem left as an accusative with no governing verb. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow, with the governing verb supplied in brackets ("because [it works] transgression"), which is the corpus's supplied-word convention and is visible as ours. The reading required is something like … iram operaretur, quia praevaricationem [operatur]. No marker: nothing here is broken type.
0485D — imputa batur. See §P. Line break, not split type. Rendered "was imputed", which keeps the clause's only predicate outside any quarantine (7a⁗ test 1).
0485D — Regnavit ergo mors (ut habet alia littera). Migne's own parenthetical variant note, reproduced as printed. Not our apparatus, not a [var:]; it is Migne telling the reader that another copy reads otherwise, and he does not say what it reads.
0489A — Hoc quidam, qui legem quasi cohaerentem vel coercentem praedicant, et tenendam. No finite verb in the printed clause. Rendered with a bracketed "[say]"; the alternative was an English fragment that reads as our omission. Verified on the plate — the clause is short in Migne too, and the archive copy's margin loss is not the cause.
0492A — Fallax enim dulcedo est, quam plures atque majores poenarum amaritudines sequuntur. quam is the relative object of sequuntur, so "which more and greater bitternesses of punishments follow." Rendered so; noted because the English inverts the apparent order and a later reader might read quam as comparative after plures.
0493B — impotens surgere ab bonum operandum → [cj: ab; read ad, "to"]. The one marker of its class in the stint, and the one thing both witnesses agree Migne printed. ab is a perfectly real preposition, so Pattern 12 has nothing to wrap and Pattern 7 renders it — and the faithful English then says the will is powerless to rise from the doing of good, which is the exact reverse of the paragraph (naturale est quodammodo bonum velle per rationem). That is Pattern 18's founding shape (11081 @0030B munde for mundo), so the gloss is additive: Migne's word keeps its English and the conjecture ad stands beside it. ab + accusative is ungrammatical, which is the evidence.
0493B — Nam velle. Velle non:. Elliptical and unconstruable as it stands. Rendered literally ("To will, not:") rather than completed. The conjecture, on the strength of the verse being glossed (Nam velle adjacet mihi, perficere autem bonum non invenio) and of the run of lemmata that follows (Velle … Perficere), is that the sense is velle [adjacet], non [perficere] — "to will, not to accomplish". Deliberately kept out of the text: supplying [to accomplish] in brackets would have put a two-word content conjecture inside the running prose where our brackets otherwise carry only grammatical glue.
0482C — quae parvulum habilem concupiscere, sed, non concupiscere, facit. Reads as a contradiction and is not one: the child is made capable of concupiscence but not actually concupiscing. Both negatives carried, both commas kept as printed (verified on both witnesses).
0481C–D — Ad Deum autem habet gloriam: non ergo ex operibus justificatus est. (Corrected column, 2026-08-31 polarity read — this entry was mis-filed under 0484A, which is merely the last column of this chunk; the [0481D] anchor sits inside the quoted sentence itself.) Reads at first as a dropped negative against Rom 4:2 (habet gloriam, sed non apud Deum). It construes as printed — the glory he has in relation to God is precisely what shows the justification was not from works — and the immediately preceding sentence has already given the other half (haec justificatio est in opinione hominum, et non apud Deum). Examined and deliberately left unmarked; recorded so a later polarity sweep does not re-open it.
0484A–B — Abraham ac Sarae matricem … jam emortuos. Masculine plural participle against a feminine accusative object. Pattern 9: Latin grammatical gender has no English exponent, so there is nothing to render either way and nothing to emend. Rendered normally.
0488C — Scientes quod Christus. (AUG). The attribution rides inside the italic lemma and outside the [n:] namespace, unlike the other four notes in that chunk. Both witnesses print (Aug). there, and our twin carries it as body text, so it is reproduced verbatim and untranslated, exactly as an [n:] content would be. It is correctly not counted in noteCount.
§M · FOR THE MERGE
data/plate-reads.jsonentry is owed — the JSON is in §P, ready to paste. It was not written here because peer stints are live on the same file.- Use Gallica for any further PL 114 plate work in cols 481–494. §P documents why, and gives the calibrated map. A peer stint working from the archive copy alone is at material risk of shipping a false
[sic:]; five candidates in this stint alone would have qualified. - Check the peers for fomes, propassio, justitia and praevaricatio. These four are the drift-prone terms of this book, and §V fixes them. justitia → "righteousness" anywhere in the work would be the serious one.
- This file is
cruces-0005.mdby instruction and should be folded into the work's singlecruces.mdat merge, with §P promoted — it is a finding about the volume's scans, not about this stint.
Agent stint: chunks 0010–0014 (cols 0494A–0506A). Filename per the split-batch convention; the merge step reconciles this with the other agents' halves.
⚠ PLATE READ OWED. data/plate-reads.json records no read for any column of this work, and data/plate-notes/8996.tsv carries a single asterisk note at col 0470 only. Four [sic:] markers and one [cj:] below stand on unread columns (0495A, 0497B, 0497D, 0500C, 0501C, 0504C, 0504D). Under CLAUDE.md hard rule 8a plate-gate.mjs will name every one of them; cols 495, 497, 500, 501 and 504 must be read at the plate before this work ships, because a [sic:] accuses Migne's type and our Latin is Corpus Corporum, not the plate.
Markers fired
[sic: Ambuans] — 0495A (chunk 0011, VERS. 5)
Printed Ambuans secundum carnem non est justus. Ambuans is not a Latin word; Ambulans ("walking") is certain from the sentence and from the lemma it glosses (Rom 8:5 qui secundum carnem sunt). Carried untranslated in italics per Pattern 7's non-word class, with the sense supplied in plain words beside the marker per 7a⁗ ("He that walketh"), since the quarantined run is the clause's subject participle.
[sic: revela] — 0497B (chunk 0011, VERS. 21)
Printed Liberabitur. Revelabitur, exspectat revela; subjecit liberabitur. revela is an imperative stranded as the object of exspectat — Pattern 12's test 1, a real form with no grammatical slot. The gloss is pointing back to Rom 8:19 revelationem filiorum Dei exspectat, so revelationem is the near-certain reading and the run is very likely a truncation. Because our Latin is not the plate, this is also the shape a digitization loss takes; the plate read must decide between [sic:] (Migne's type) and a data/tei-patches/8996.json entry (Corpus Corporum's). Marked [sic:] provisionally. The clause keeps its verb and subject, so nothing of the force is inside the quarantine.
[sic: meriritum] — 0497D (chunk 0011, VERS. 24)
Printed ut majus meriritum spei videatur. meriritum is a dittographic syllable in meritum; not a word. Carried, with "the merit" supplied beside it per 7a⁗ (the run is the subject of videatur).
[sic: eligutur] — 0500C (chunk 0013, VERS. 10)
Printed propter nullum meritum suum vel parentum aliquis eligutur. eligutur for eligitur; not a word. It is the clause's only predicate, so the sense ("is chosen") is supplied in plain words beside the marker per 7a⁗ question 1. The negation nullum is carried in full ("on account of no merit").
[sic: lans] — 0504C (chunk 0014, VERS. 9)
Printed Ecce lans fidei et merces. Laus fidei est, si credideris… — lans for laus, with the correct Laus printing cleanly in the very next sentence, which is the internal control. Carried, sense supplied ("the praise").
[sic: qoud] — 0504D (chunk 0014, VERS. 14)
Printed Probato, qoud de utroque assumitur populo. qoud for quod; not a word. It is the sentence's subordinating conjunction, so 7a⁗ question 3 applies and "that" is supplied in plain words beside the marker — a swallowed conjunction would leave the probato ablative absolute governing nothing.
[cj: volentem; read nolentem, "him that willeth not"] — 0501C (chunk 0013, VERS. 16)
The one substantive finding of this stint. Migne prints:
volentem praevenit ut velit, volentem subsequitur ne frustra velit.
The formula is Augustine's (De natura et gratia; Enchiridion 32): nolentem praeveniat ut velit, volentem subsequatur ne frustra velit — grace goes before the man who does NOT will, so that he may will, and follows the man who does will, so that he may not will in vain. The whole gloss is arguing exactly that (qui hominis voluntatem bonam, et praeparat ad juvandam, et adjuvat praeparatam): the two clauses are a contrasted pair, and with volentem printed twice the first clause says grace goes before the willing man that he may will, which is vacuous and destroys the antithesis the sentence is built on.
The type is not broken — volentem is a perfectly good form — so [sic:] has nothing to wrap and Pattern 7 renders it. That is precisely Pattern 18's founding shape, and the word that went wrong is a negation (the no- of nolentem), which is the class 18a explicitly admits even where the result is incoherent rather than false. The gloss is additive: Migne's word keeps its English and the conjecture stands beside it. verify-english's guard is satisfied — volentem appears verbatim in the Latin twin.
⚠ Alternative considered and rejected: Pattern 11/11a dittography (the compositor's eye slipping from the second volentem back to the first). Rejected because a [d:] would have to quarantine one of two clauses that are NOT the same run — they differ in verb, in conjunction and in sense — and because what is wanted is not the deletion of a duplicate but the restoration of a lost prefix. [cj:] says exactly that and says it in the right voice.
Markers considered and DECLINED
- 0498A Quommodo (chunk 0011, VERS. 26). Quommodo enim enarraretur… Geminated m. Declined under Pattern 9: consonant gemination is an orthographic variant of a transparently identical word, the same class as aquiescas for acquiescas, and marking it would bury the real defects in noise. Rendered "how".
- 0494A "mens non consentit peccato, mors contendit, mens non consentit" (chunk 0010, VERS. 23). Considered for
[d:]. Declined: the two runs are separated by an intervening clause and read as deliberate rhetorical repetition (A, B, A), not as a compositor's eye-skip; Pattern 11 is written for an adjacent doubled run. Rendered twice, unmarked. ⚠ mors contendit is itself odd where caro contendit would be expected from Rom 7:23's lex membrorum; rendered literally ("death contends"), no marker, because the English asserts nothing the author is arguing against (Pattern 18 bar not met). - 0496B Filius Israel non dicitur irae, quibus aqua divisa profuit (chunk 0011, VERS. 15). Nominative singular Filius against plural quibus, where the parallel clause (Spiritus irae Aegyptiis dicitur, quibus…) wants the dative plural Filiis. Case has no English exponent (Pattern 9) but number does, so the singular is carried into the English as printed: "The son of Israel is not called [a spirit] of wrath, to whom the divided water was of profit." No marker: the sentence still asserts what the passage argues (Israel did not receive the spirit of wrath), so the Pattern 18 bar is not met.
[a spirit]is a supplied-word bracket, the head noun carried over from the preceding clause. - 0496B Unus ergo spiritus qui duos timores facit. Qui et duo genera servorum faciunt. Singular facit then plural faciunt across two sentences. Rendered as printed ("which makes… Which also make…"); a number disagreement across a sentence boundary with a plausible plural antecedent (duos timores) is not a defect that needs quarantining.
- 0499D ejectione mortis (chunk 0012, VERS. 39). dejectione would construe more naturally ("the casting down of death"). ejectio is a real word and renders in place ("the casting out of death"); rendered as printed, no marker.
- 0502A aliquis eligutur — see the
[sic:]above; listed here only to note that the neighbouring Judeorum for Judaeorum (0502C) is an attested medieval spelling and takes nothing (Pattern 9).
Vulgate divergences — THE DELIVERABLE LIST
Lemmata checked word by word against the Vulgate before the English was trusted, per 7a″. Every divergence below is rendered as Migne prints it. No [var:] was fired: each divergence is either a lemma truncation, a synonym, or a word-order change that does not turn the gloss, and firing [var:] on an unread column is barred by 8a. They are recorded here so a later pass can fire markers once the plate is read.
| col | Migne prints | Vulgate | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0494B | Rom 7:23 Captivum | captivantem | Old Latin captivum me ducentem is attested; the gloss (Ex carne, ex parte) does not turn on the form. |
| 0494B | 1 Cor 15:53 cum mortale hoc induet immortalitatem | mortale hoc induere inmortalitatem | finite verb for the infinitive, the citation woven into the sentence. Same weave again at 0495D. |
| 0494C | Rom 8:1 Nihil igitur nunc | Nihil ergo nunc | synonym; recurs as the lemma catchword. |
| 0495B | Rom 8:6–7 gloss quotes affectus carnis mors / affectus carnis inimicitia est ad Deum | prudentia carnis mors est / sapientia carnis inimica est Deo | ⚠ the most interesting one in the stint. The printed LEMMATA at VERS. 6 and 7 read prudentia and sapientia (Vulgate), but the gloss re-quotes the same two clauses with affectus — the Ambrosiaster/Old Latin wording — and inimicitia … ad Deum for inimica … Deo. Migne's page therefore carries two versions of one verse, lemma and gloss disagreeing. Both rendered as printed ("the prudence of the flesh" in the lemma, "the affection of the flesh" in the gloss); do NOT harmonize them at merge. |
| 0495C | Ezek 18:4 Anima quae peccavit | anima quae peccaverit | perfect for future perfect. |
| 0495D | Isa 53:8 generationem Filii quis enarrabit | generationem eius quis enarrabit | the noun for the pronoun; inside an Augustine excerpt. |
| 0496B | Mal 1:6 Si Dominus sum, ubi est timor meus? Si pater, ubi est honor meus? | si ego pater sum ubi est honor meus et si Dominus ego sum ubi est timor meus | clauses reversed and abbreviated. The reversal is functional, not a slip: it tracks the gloss's own order two lines above, qui timet Dominum et honorat patrem. Rendered in Migne's order. |
| 0497A | John 14:27 Pacem meam do vobis, pacem meam relinquo vobis | pacem relinquo vobis pacem meam do vobis | clauses reversed, and meam added to the relinquo member which the Vulgate leaves bare. |
| 0498C | John 14:9 Qui videt me, videt et Patrem | same | agrees. |
| 0498D | Qui fecit quae futura sunt cited as Isa. XLIV | no Vulgate verse reads thus | closest is Isa 45:11 (ventura interrogate me); the wording is the Old Latin/LXX shape ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἐπερχόμενα. Reference kept exactly as Migne prints it (refDisplay rule) — do not "correct" the chapter number. |
| 0499A | Eph 5:2 Christus dilexit nos, et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis | same | agrees. |
| 0499C | Prov 30:8–9 Divitias et paupertates ne dederis mihi: ne repletus mendax fiam, vel pauper rapiam, et perjurem nomen Dei | mendicitatem et divitias ne dederis mihi … ne forte saturatus inliciar ad negandum et dicam quis est Dominus aut egestate conpulsus furer et periurem nomen Dei mei | the widest divergence in the stint. The two nouns are in the reverse order, paupertates stands for mendicitatem, repletus mendax fiam compresses saturatus inliciar ad negandum, rapiam stands for furer, and Dei drops mei. Sense is preserved (both are the prayer against wealth and want), which is why no [var:] fired; the gloss that follows (Multi peccant altitudine, multi necessitate) turns on the pair, not on the wording. |
| 0499C | Rom 8:38 Neque angeli, neque principes, neque virtutes | neque angeli neque principatus neque virtutes (Clementine); fortitudines in some witnesses | ⚠ load-bearing. The gloss reads these as angelic ORDERS (Hi ordines accipiuntur de malis angelis), and principes/virtutes are precisely the order-names. Rendered "princes… virtues". |
| 0500A | 1 Tim 2:5 Mediator Dei et hominum, homo Christus Jesus | same | agrees. |
| 0501B | Rom 9:15 Miserebor cui misertus | miserebor cuius misereor | lemma catchword, truncated and with the perfect for the present. |
| 0502D | Rom 9:28 Et abbrevians in aequitate | et brevians in aequitate | compound for simplex; the gloss glosses the compound (omnia legalia in uno Christo abbreviat), so the divergence is the one the exposition rests on. |
| 0503B | Rom 9:31 Sectando justitiam | sectans legem iustitiae | participle changed to a gerund and legem dropped — a lemma catchword, not a text. |
| 0503B | Rom 9:32 quia non ex fide | quia non ex fide sed quasi ex operibus | truncation. |
| 0503C | Isa 8:14 / Rom 9:33 pono in Sion lapidem offensionis et petram scandali | same | agrees. |
| 0504A | John 6:66 Nemo venit ad me, nisi cui datum fuerit a Patre meo, cited Joan. IV | nemo potest venire ad me nisi fuerit ei datum a Patre meo (John 6:66) | modal dropped, relative for the dative pronoun. ⚠ The chapter number is Migne's and stands — the verse is John 6, but refDisplay keeps what he prints and refKey resolves it later; this is exactly the class the standing rule forbids correcting. |
| 0504A | Acts 3:17 Scio quod per ignorantiam hoc egistis | scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis | conjunction and verb both changed, hoc supplied. |
| 0504A | Lev 18:5 Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis | quae faciens homo vivet in eis (Lev 18:5); qui fecerit homo vivet in ea (Rom 10:5) | Migne's gloss says the wording is that of Numbers and Leviticus, and the form he prints (ea … illis, plural) is the Leviticus shape rather than Paul's singular ea. Rendered as printed. |
| 0504B | John 15:3 Nam vos mundi estis propter verbum quod locutus sum vobis | iam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis | ⚠ the divergence that carries an argument. The lemma under exposition is Rom 10:8 Hoc est verbum fidei, and Augustine's proof-text is adduced for the word verbum — which the Vulgate's sermonem does not contain. Conforming this quotation to the Vulgate would have silently removed the keyword the whole note is built on: 7a″'s failure mode exactly. Rendered verbum → "the word", and Nam → "For" (not "Now"). A [var: Vulg. sermonem] is defensible here and should be reconsidered once col. 0504 is read at the plate. |
| 0505C | Rom 10:18 / Ps 18:5 In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum | in omnem terram exiit sonus eorum | perfect stem variant, no sense change. |
| 0505C | Acts 1:8 Testes mihi eritis usque ad ultimum terrae | eritis mihi testes … usque ad ultimum terrae | word order. |
| 0498C | 1 Cor 15:49 Ut portemus imaginem coelestis, sicut portavimus imaginem terreni | sicut portavimus imaginem terreni portemus et imaginem caelestis | clauses reversed; the gloss puts the exhortation first. |

Notes on rendering decisions
VERS. n.--is kept verbatim in the English, per the shipped convention of the sibling Glossa works (8976, 8982, 8985).CAPUTheads translate toCHAPTER; the(cont.)on a repeated head is our chunk division and is carried unchanged.etc., usque ad …rendersetc., as far as …with the tail translated — the corpus formula inherited from 8965/8970 and used throughout 8976.- Rom 8:14 aguntur is rendered "are driven", not "are led", and held to that through the whole gloss. The gloss is an argument about the difference between agi and regi (Plus est enim agi quam regi… quasi vix aliquid agentem), so an English pair that does not preserve the gradation would make the exposition explain nothing — the stylus/epistylium case in the Song ruling. ⚠ Merge note: whichever agent holds a later occurrence of Rom 8:14 must match this.
- 0505C Vel equidem is a mention of a variant Latin reading, not a use; kept in italic Latin as printed and glossed ("that is, assuredly"), not silently Englished.
- Second person (Pattern 17): eras natus … commisisti at 0494C is grammatically singular and takes thou/thy; accepistis … debetis at 0496A–B is plural and takes you. Both as the Latin marks them.
Agent covering the final five chunks (cols 0506B–0520B). Filed under cruces-0015.md so the three peer agents' halves can be merged without collision.
⚠ PLATE-READ DEBT. data/plate-notes/coverage.json status for 8996 governs; no column in this range has been read at the plate by me. Under CLAUDE.md rule 8a, the three [sic: …] markers placed below stand on unread columns and scripts/plate-gate.mjs will flag every one of them. They must be settled at the plate (PL 114 = patrologiaecurs06saingoog, PDF page = (column + 11) / 2) before this work is marked ours. If the plate reads the words whole, the defect is Corpus Corporum's and the fix is a data/tei-patches/8996.json entry with the marker removed, not a claim against Migne's type.
Markers placed
### 0512D — [sic: nonlicet] (chunk 0017) Migne's text as we hold it prints Quid si jubeat quod nonlicet? — non licet fused into a single run. Pattern 10 (split/fused type is carried whole) with Pattern 12's marker. 7a⁗ compliance: the quarantined run carries the clause's negation, so the English supplies it in plain words beside the marker — "what [sic: nonlicet] is not lawful?" The question the whole paragraph answers (obey God, not the emperor) requires the negative.
### 0512D — [sic: cor tempto] (chunk 0017) cor tempto illo obtemperandum est Deo. The run cor tempto is contempto split at the wrong point (Pattern 10, split direction; cf. ur sam, Ad dam). The run is the ablative absolute's participle, i.e. the clause's whole force, so per 7a⁗ question 1 the sense rides in plain words beside the marker: "[sic: cor tempto] that one being despised, God is to be obeyed." Conjecture: contempto illo.
### 0517C — [sic: daban] (chunk 0019) exemplum bonae conversationis daban fidelibus. daban is not a word; conjecture dabant (the clause's only finite verb). Carried untranslated per Pattern 7's non-word class, with the verb supplied beside it per 7a⁗ question 1: "they [sic: daban] gave to the faithful an example of good conversation."
Readings rendered as printed, no marker
### 0507C — in fine Christi (chunk 0015) quando Judaei Christianos sequentur in fine Christi. Rendered literally, "in the end of Christ." Conjecture in fide Christi ("in the faith of Christ"), which the surrounding argument (the Jews imitating the gentiles in good, Moses returning to his mother and brethren) wants. Declined for [cj:] under Pattern 18a: the printed reading is obscure rather than false, and in fine answers to in fine saeculi three words earlier, so it may be the author's own echo.
### 0506D — deferente gratia (chunk 0015) non immissa malitia, sed deferente gratia. Rendered "but by grace giving way," the literal force of deferre. Conjecture deserente gratia ("grace deserting"), which is the Augustinian commonplace. Not marked: deferente is a real word occupying its slot (Pattern 12's fuges/munde boundary).
### 0507A — Sicut seipsos acetum mihi obtulerunt (chunk 0015) Accusative seipsos where the sense wants nominative ipsi. Rendered "Just as they themselves offered me vinegar" — English has no exponent for the case slip (Pattern 9), so there is nothing to mark and nothing to undo. Logged so a later sweep does not churn it.
### 0510D — fidelibus voto demonstratur Ecclesiae (chunk 0016) Will not construe cleanly. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow: "shown in the Sacrament of the altar to the faithful by the vow of the Church, which is signified in that thing which she offers." Conjecture candidates (quotidie for voto; votum … Ecclesiae as subject) are not decidable from our text. No repair made in the English.
### 0510D — quod, justitiae terminos non egrediatur quod nobis solum utile sit (chunk 0016) The doubled quod leaves the relative stranded. Rendered literally with the printed sequence preserved. Negation non egrediatur carried.
### 0511C — et fretum spe futuri (chunk 0016) fretum is a bare participle with no expressed subject. Rendered "and reliance upon the hope of what is to come." No repair.
### 0512C — Non sunt timore boni (chunk 0017) Migne prints ablative timore; the Vulgate (Rom 13:3) has dative timori boni operis. Rendered "They are not a terror to the good." This is treated as Pattern 9 orthography (final -e for -i is standard medieval practice, not a defect of this plate), not as a silent repair of a case. Flagged here so the judgment is visible; if a plate read shows timore is Migne's own oddity rather than routine spelling, the right treatment is [var:] and the ablative rendering, not a marker.
### 0513A — ocultis for occultis (chunk 0017) Attested medieval spelling. Translated normally, no italics, no marker (Pattern 9).
### 0515A — quicunque humani cibi indifferenter sumi (chunk 0018) The tail of an usque ad abridgment; the infinitive sumi has no governing verb because Migne's abridgment cuts before it. No verb supplied (the 8981/8978 usque ad precedent): rendered "whatsoever human foods indifferently to be taken." Not a defect — an abridgment artifact.
### 0517D — consumationem beside consummationem (chunk 0019) Both spellings inside one sentence (the gloss's own consummationem saeculi, then Matt 28:20 as consumationem). Attested variant; translated normally (Pattern 9).
### 0518A — quibus credere debeant Romam (chunk 0019) Romam accusative where Romani (nominative subject) would be expected. Rendered as accusative for locative, "whom they ought to believe at Rome" — an attested late/medieval usage, so the printed word is rendered rather than replaced. Alternative (Romani, "whom the Romans ought to believe") not adopted: it substitutes a different word.
### 0519B → 0520A — the column jump (chunk 0019) The anchor sequence runs …0519A, 0519B, 0520A, 0520B, skipping 0519C–D. Not a defect. Cols 0519C–D carry the opening of I Corinthians (idno 8981, already shipped); Migne divides the page between the two works. Reproduced in order verbatim; the sentence plene tamen a nullo fuerunt [0520A] scita runs across the jump intact, which is the check.
### Punctuation and layout carried per Pattern 8
- 0514A (chunk 0017) — …et ad tenebras ducunt ends with no terminal stop. Not supplied.
- 0508A (chunk 0015) — …quod Dominus praedixit faciendum ends with no terminal stop. Not supplied.
- 0516B (chunk 0018) — …quae in istis Romanis non erant ends with no terminal stop. Not supplied.
- 0510C (chunk 0016) — Migne prints etc, with a comma for a full stop before usque ad. Carried as etc,.
- 0520A (chunk 0019) — qui quaerunt cur tantum distulit Deus? cur tot gentes perire permisit. An indirect question closed with
?. Pattern 8b applied: the mark is kept by turning the question direct behind a colon — "the inquirers who ask: why has God deferred so long? why has he permitted so many nations to perish." The second clause's printed full stop is kept as printed.
### Section labels normalized (Pattern 9) Chunk 0015 opens Vers. 1.-- in lower case and prints VERS. everywhere after. The English head form reads VERS. throughout, matching the sibling work 8981 in this same volume; the Latin twin preserves Migne's inconsistency in the facing column.
VULGATE DIVERGENCE LIST (7a″ deliverable)
Every scripture lemma and quotation in cols 0506B–0520B was read word by word against the Vulgate before the English was written. Migne's wording is rendered in every case; nothing below was conformed. ⛔ No [var: …] has been fired, because CLAUDE.md rule 8a forbids asserting a divergence in Migne's text from a column nobody has read at the plate — and 9003's collation showed Corpus Corporum manufacturing a Vulgate divergence that no collation can catch. The three starred entries are the [var:] candidates to settle at the plate.
Material divergences (⭐ = [var:] candidate pending plate read)
| col | Migne prints | Vulgate | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0509C ⭐ | Conclusit enim Deus omnia in infideli (Rom 11:32) | in incredulitate | abstract "unbelief" → concrete "the unbelieving one"; the whole gloss expounds this lemma. Rendered "in the unbelieving." |
| 0511D ⭐ | Ignem veni mittere in terram, et quid volo, nisi ardeat? (Luke 12:49) | nisi ut accendatur | "but that it burn" for "but that it be kindled." |
| 0515D ⭐ | Justitia justi non proficiet ei, si erraverit (Ezek 33:12) | non liberabit eum in quacumque die peccaverit | different verb and different protasis; the gloss turns on the just man's good being obscured, which proficiet serves. |
| 0510C | Sed reformamini in novitate mentis vestrae (Rom 12:2) | in novitate sensus vestri | mens for sensus, inside an Augustine extract. |
| 0511B | judicium sine misericordia fiet ei qui non facit misericordiam (Jas 2:13) | iudicium enim sine misericordia illi qui non fecit misericordiam | verb supplied, ei for illi, present for perfect, enim dropped. |
| 0517D | Pacem meam do vobis, et pacem meam relinquo vobis (John 14:27) | pacem relinquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis | the two clauses are transposed and meam is attached to both. |
| 0511A | Maledictus est qui facit opus Dei negligenter (Jer 48:10, unmarked allusion) | opus Domini fraudulenter | two words differ; not marked as a citation by Migne. |
Minor divergences (word order, particles, trimmed lemmata) — rendered as printed
- 0509A — Multi sunt vocati, pauci vero electi (Matt 20:16): Vulg. multi enim sunt vocati. Migne cites it (Marc. XX); the reference rides as printed (
refDisplayconvention, no correction proposed). - 0509B — A nobis exierunt, sed ex nobis non fuerunt (1 John 2:19): Vulg. ex nobis prodierunt sed non erant ex nobis.
- 0508D — Mittam vobis Eliam Thesbitem (Mal 4:5): Vulg. Heliam prophetam; and corda … ad patrem for Vulg. cor … ad patres eorum. The Thesbites epithet is an Old Latin / LXX form, not a plate error.
- 0512B — Qui pluit super justos et injustos (Matt 5:45) cited (Prov. XXV); Prov 25:21 is the si esurierit inimicus tuus text glossed two verses later. Printed reference kept.
- 0512C — Deus potentes non abjicit, cum et ipse potens sit (Job 36:5): Vulg. cum et ipse sit potens (word order only).
- 0513D — qui enim diligit iniquitatem (Ps 10:6): Vulg. qui autem diligit iniquitatem.
- 0513D — Mihi vindictam, et ego retribuam (Rom 12:19): Vulg. mihi vindictam ego retribuam.
- 0514A — Nox praecessit … dies autem appropinquavit (Rom 13:12): Vulg. adpropiavit.
- 0516A — Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus (Rom 14:17): Vulg. has no enim.
- 0510D — Multi unum corpus sumus in Christo (Rom 12:5) cited (I Cor. X); printed reference kept.
- 0516D — In semine tuo benedicentur omnes gentes (Gen 22:18): Vulg. et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae.
- 0518D — conterat Satanam (Rom 16:20): Vulg. Satanan.
- 0516D — Orietur stella ex Jacob (Num 24:17) is attributed by the gloss to Jacob (item Jacob dixit), not to Balaam. Rendered as printed; the attribution is the author's, not a type defect.

Merge notes for the reconciliation pass (runbook step 4)
Terms fixed across 0015–0019; peers' halves must agree or one voice must win:
- usque ad → as far as (italic, no verb supplied) — the settled convention in the sibling work 8981 in this volume.
- VERS. n.-- kept as printed Latin abbreviation, not expanded.
- excaecatio → "blinding" · delibatio → "first-fruit" · massa → "the mass" · oleaster → "wild olive" · compunctio → "compunction" · disceptatio → "dispute" · temerarium judicium → "rash judgment" · commune/immundum → "common"/"unclean" · praestare tributum → "render tribute" (against solvere → "pay", a distinction the gloss at 0513A explicitly draws).
- Second person: the gloss addresses the Roman church in the plural (vos, estis, caveatis) and the individual gentile boaster in the singular (noli gloriari, tu stas, time). Pattern 17 applied: you for the plural, thou for the singular, throughout.
