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 →
Merged from six agent stints (chunks 0–4, 5–9, 10–14, 15–18, 19–22, 23–26) per translation-runbook.md step 4. Column + printed reading + note, in chunk order.
Blind polarity read (runbook step 4a, 2026-07-31)
All 27 chunks read blind against the Latin twins, hunting for a sentence that contradicts its immediate neighbor, before this file was consulted. 30 sites found; 22 were already logged below (the collation held up everywhere spot-checked); 8 were new. Recorded: node scripts/polarity-record.mjs 9033 --chunks 27 --sites 30 --ours 3.
Three were OUR errors and have been corrected in the running text (not merely logged — these are not Migne's defects, so Pattern 7's literal-rendering rule does not protect them):
- 0591B (chunk 0013) — nisi stipata mali et fulcita diversis fuerit floribus ("compassed with apples and stayed up with flowers") had its verbs crossed: "stayed up with apples and propped with diverse flowers." The correct pairing is confirmed three sentences later, where the lemma itself (Fulcite me floribus, stipate me malis) is rendered correctly as "Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples" — and repeated correctly again in the same chunk's exposition. Fixed to "compassed with apples and stayed up with diverse flowers," matching the pairing used everywhere else in the passage.
- 0569C–D (chunk 0006) — praevenire used in two opposite senses eleven lines apart (the condemned "run before/outrun" at 0569C vs. the commended "anticipate" at 0569D), both originally rendered "run before," which made the second sentence commend exactly what the first condemns. The Latin sustains both senses; English "run before" does not. Fixed the second instance to "anticipate."
- 0580A (chunk 0009) — Deo autem gratias qui semper triumphat nos in omni loco (2 Cor. 2:14) rendered "who always triumphs over us in every place," which turns a thanksgiving into a defeat and sits oddly against the following clause ("for we are the good odor of Christ"). Fixed to "who always maketh us to triumph," the Vulgate's own causative idiom.
Five are Migne's own plate defects, faithfully carried per Pattern 7 — logged here, NOT emended:
- 0593A — Migne prints panes ("loaves") where Patres ("Fathers") is required; the very next column (0593D) refers back to "where we said... the Fathers," so the English's own back-reference now contradicts its own earlier rendering. This is the identical error, one column over, to the already-logged 0590A
panem/Patremcase below — the pattern is now confirmed to recur. - 0627B — Migne prints portis ("gates") where the passage's own lemma is hortis ("gardens"); the exhortation lands on a noun the lemma does not contain.
- 0570C — quanto patens est cubiculum, tanto major est reverentia ("the more open the bedchamber, the greater the reverence") inverts the surrounding argument, which is about the chamber's hiddenness. Conjecture: latens for patens (one letter). Printed reading rendered as printed.
- 0572B — Nigra quidem vero judicio ("black indeed by a true judgment") where the passage's own frame (both immediately before and after) is "black by their judgment, comely by the truth." Conjecture: vestro for vero — which Migne's own plate prints five lines later (judicio vestro) for the same phrase.
- 0558C — flagged, not emended, low confidence: nec corde ad montem paradisi reascendit is genuinely ambiguous between "had not, in heart, fallen" and "does not ascend again in heart"; the English's construal is almost certainly right (the alternative would contradict the gloss's own conclusion) but nothing marks the ambiguity in the Latin itself.
Work-wide conventions (fixed at merge, 2026-07-31)
- spikenard, not "nard". The Cant. IV, 14 lemma (nardus et crocus) is quoted twice in the work — once in the dedicatory preface (chunk 0000) and once in the verse-by-verse commentary itself (chunk 0020) — and a third passage (chunk 0009) glosses the plant at length in prose. All three now read "spikenard" throughout, matching the KJV/Douay convention already used in most instances; the bare "nard" variants (chunk 0000's lemma quote, and five prose instances in chunk 0009) were the only drift and have been corrected. No other chunk uses either word.
- A
[var: …]marker in chunk 0006 (I Cor. VIII, 1) opened with the citation reference before the witness name ("I Cor. VIII, 1; Vulg. …"), whichverify-english.mjscorrectly rejects — the pattern requires the marker to open by naming the witness. Fixed by dropping the leading citation (the note beside it already carries the reference). - cypri / Cypri / Cyprus (chunk 0010) — NOT drift, do not harmonize further. Migne himself prints the Song 1:13 lemma lowercase at first occurrence and capitalized at its second (cols 0581B, 0582B), and the gloss that follows reads the capitalized form as the island (Cyprus vero tristitia interpretatur). The English follows Migne's own capitalization exactly — "cluster of cypress" / "cluster of Cyprus" — preserving his pun rather than resolving it. Logged in detail in its chunk-0010 section below.
- murenulae kept in italic Latin (chunk 0009, "golden murenulae, inlaid with silver," glossed "or little chains"). Per the Song-of-Songs ruling (translation-style.md), this is this work's own choice and is not to be harmonized against 10379's "chains of gold" for the same lemma — each commentary stands on its own.
- amica renders consistently as "my friend" / "O friend" across every chunk that uses it (0002, 0004, 0008, 0010–0013, 0021, 0022, 0026) — checked at merge, no drift found.
- Psal. CVI @0569B has no locatable Vulgate parallel (nearest is Hab. 3:6, stetit et mensus est terram). Not corrected — no received reading can be named with the confidence
citation-corrections.jsonrequires. Rendered as printed, flagged here for whoever indexes citations or reads the work through.
Cruces — 9033 (Angelomus of Luxeuil, Enarrationes in Cantica canticorum), chunks 0000–0004
Agent stint: chunks 0–4 (PL 115, cols 0551B–0566A). Column + printed reading + note. Scripture divergences that received a [var: …] marker in the running text are listed separately at the end.
Carried type ([sic: …])
0552D — angustale. Migne prints ut angustale opus, et spirituale decus quomodo quivissem aggredi non abnuissem. angustale is not an attested Latin form; the author's own word elsewhere in this same preface and at the head of the book proper is augustale (0553D supplex exoro decus augustale; 0555 Priusquam augustale decus), and the whole sentence concerns the emperor's commission. Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, under Patterns 7/12. Conjecture: augustale, "imperial."
0559A — in luta. Migne prints et stola sacrosancti baptismatis semel in luta, immaculate vivendo, ultra se non maculavit. The run in luta is split type for induta ("having put on"), which is what the clause requires (the robe of baptism once put on). Carried whole under Pattern 10, spacing included, marked [sic: …]. Note that luta is also a real word (lutum, mud), which is exactly why the split must not be silently rejoined: the plate as it stands invites the wrong reading.
Printed readings rendered literally (Pattern 7 — no marker, English is ours)
0551B — divinatum for divinarum. enucleationumque divinatum scilicet Scripturarum. divinatum cannot agree with Scripturarum; the intended form is divinarum. A Latin inflectional mismatch of this kind has no English exponent (Pattern 9), so the English reads "of Holy Scripture" and nothing is emended.
0552B–C — nullo apologetico anfractuque excusationis praesumpsi. temerario ore refragare nullo apologetico anfractuque excusationis praesumpsi. The nullo is carried ("I presumed to gainsay by no apologetic and no winding of excuse"); on this reading the ablative carries the negation and the sentence construes with the argument, which is that Angelomus did not refuse the commission. No emendation made or needed.
0552C — quo auribus, hausto non solum renuit. The clause requires a second negative (non solum non renuit, "he not only did not refuse"), because the following verum … imperavit reports that Drogo did command the work, and warmly. As printed, the page says Drogo "not only refused, but … commanded." Rendered exactly as printed under Pattern 7a; the contradiction stands on the page and the conjecture lives here. The run quo auribus, hausto is itself disordered (probably quo auribus hausto, "which having been drunk in by his ears"); rendered as the printed words allow, with the printed comma kept per Pattern 8.
0554A — descendet. usque ad turpis amoris … verba descendet. Future where the Gregorian source and the surrounding present-tense verbs (operatur, nominat) want descendit. Rendered as the printed future, "will descend."
0554D — Qui enim non solummodo regnat terrarum … noverunt, reges sunt. Two problems in one clause: regnat is 3rd singular beside a plural qui … noverunt … sunt, and terrarum is a bare genitive with no governing noun. The conjecture that resolves both is regna terrarum as the first object of regere et investigare noverunt ("who have known how to rule and search out not only the kingdoms of the earth, but their own bodies"). Since no English rendering can carry both the singular verb and the orphan genitive without reading as our own grammatical error, the English follows the plural verbs of the clause ("For they who not only reign over lands…") and the printed defect is recorded here rather than mimicked.
0556B — ethnicam, physicam, et theoriam. quas Graeci ita ethnicam, physicam, et theoriam nominaverunt. The triad is ethics / physics / theoria; ethnicam ("heathen") is a misprint for ethicam. Because rendering ethnicam by an English word would be actively misleading and rendering it as "ethics" would be a silent repair, all three Greek-derived discipline names are kept in italic Latin exactly as printed, on the register rule for technical terms. Conjecture: ethicam.
0556C — quod omnia ad fidem tendant. In the gloss on Ecclesiastes, "all things tend toward faith" where the argument (vanity, transience, caduca et brevia universa) wants ad finem, "toward an end." Rendered as printed.
0558A — de conversione Hierusalem. Of Jeremiah's Lamentations; the sense required is the destruction of the city (subversione). Rendered literally, "concerning the conversion of Jerusalem."
0558A — futurae reprobationis nuntia. qui a Dei Filio Ecclesiae futurae reprobationis nuntia deferebant. The prophets and angels are elsewhere in this passage messengers of the coming espousal, not of reprobation; reparationis is the likely reading. Rendered as printed, "tidings of the reprobation to come."
0558C — ex eadem materia videndi. In the gloss on soror: cum ex eadem materia videndi nascitur terris, de qua et Ecclesia generatur. videndi for vivendi is near certain (the same matter of living, i.e. flesh, out of which the Church is begotten). Rendered as printed, "the same matter of seeing."
0559D — fuerit oblita improbari, probatur increpatione. The long sentence beginning Quod quamvis plebs Judaeorum arguatur contumax does not construe: the participial chain has no finite main clause until probatur, and fuerit oblita improbari has no governing construction. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow, with the printed punctuation kept; no emendation attempted.
0560A — prostibuli traditione salitur. "salted … by the handing over of the brothel," in a description of baptism. Rendered literally; the phrase may be corrupt or may be a compressed reference to the soul's former fornication (cf. the Ezekiel 16 lemma just above), but neither can be shown from the plate.
0560C — mores quoque cantantium. In the list of nuptial offices, beside amici sponsi and sodales sponsae, mores ("manners") where chori ("choirs") is what the following relative clause requires (qui dulci modulamine … canant). Rendered as printed, "the manners as well of the singers."
0561A — Et quid est apud Deum, quando, et quando non est. Unconstruable as it stands; probably a truncated or doubled clause. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow — "And what is there with God of 'when,' and when it is not" — and left unemended.
0561A–B — Cum se patrem nominat, indicat quod conjuncti. The three-term scheme just established is Lord = created, father = adopted, bridegroom = joined; and the very next sentence names all three (conjunctos … quam creatos et adoptatos). The plate therefore appears to have lost a clause (Cum se sponsum nominat, indicat quod conjuncti) or to have set patrem for sponsum. Rendered as printed.
0562A — lapsum in corporis foveam. The craftsman's ring falls into "a pit of the body"; the simile needs a pit of filth or mire (coeni, sordium), and the same sentence's paulisper deposita stola confirms that the craftsman is going down into something foul. Rendered as printed.
0562A–B — Nam quae immensa potentia … nisi Dominus ancillam vere pauperculam, ut externus mortalem …. The interrogative period is heavily disordered: the appositions (Dominus Jesus Christus, Dei sermo, Ecclesiam, animam) cannot all be governed by copularet, and ut externus mortalem has no clear referent. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow, with nisi carried; no emendation attempted.
0563D — datum est, Tanto quippe amplius …. A comma where the plate then sets a capital T and begins a new period. Both marks preserved under Pattern 8, so the English reads "…given through the presence of the bridegroom, For by so much the more…"
0565D — per fidem scitur « Et odor unguentorum tuorum …. No terminal stop before the next lemma. Not supplied (Pattern 8).
0566A — animae sic amenti. Beside sic aestuanti amorem sponsi sui, the expected form is amanti ("loving"); amens ("out of one's mind") is what is printed and is not impossible as hyperbole for the soul's love. Rendered as printed, "thus out of her senses."
Non-defects, recorded so a later sweep does not churn them
- 0551C — τοῖς βιβλοῖς. Migne's Greek in the running Latin, kept verbatim.
- 0552B —
[ minitando ]. Migne's own bracketed variant on intentando, kept verbatim and untranslated per the register rule. - 0551D, 0552B — solitarius ingemiscens, atque poenitens. Masculine participles after the feminine turtur; a gender mismatch with no English exponent (Pattern 9).
- 0553A–B, 0553C — Sic nimirum sic and Scimus namque scimus. Deliberate rhetorical geminatio, not plate dittography; no
[d: …]. - 0561C — qui adhuc novellas viam bonorum sequitur. Gender mismatch (novellas/viam); Pattern 9, no exponent.
- Column bands. 0552A is absent between 0551D and 0552B, and 0555A is followed directly by 0556A at the end of chunk 0; chunk 1's bare
[0555]precedes chunk 2's[0555B]. Normal Migne banding; no text is broken across any of these anchors. - Citation labels. Several of Migne's
[n: …]locators point elsewhere than the verse quoted (Marc. II for Mark 11:24; Prov. V for Prov 25:2 and Prov. I for Prov 5:1; Isa. XXVIII for Deut 32:1; Ezech. XVIII for Ezek 16; Cant. III for Cant 4:10; Eccli. for Ecclesiastes). Reproduced verbatim; resolution is the indexer's business.
Scripture divergences marked [var: …] in the text
Every scripture lemma and quotation in chunks 0, 2 and 4 was read word by word against the Vulgate before translating. 47 quotations were checked; 26 diverge materially and carry a [var: …]. The rest agree with the received text and are listed at the end.
Chunk 0 (4):
- 0551D, Matth. III, 2 — appropinquabit (fut.) for Vulg. appropinquavit.
- 0552B, I Petr. II, 13 — propter Dominum for Vulg. propter Deum.
- 0552B, "Marc. II" (= Marc. XI, 24) — Amen dico vobis, quidquid orantes petitis … et fiet vobis for Vulg. Propterea dico vobis, omnia quaecumque orantes petitis … et evenient vobis.
- 0553C, Cant. IV, 13–14 — nardus cum croco for Vulg. nardus et crocus. Marked because the gloss immediately following turns on the virtues being permistae, mingled with one another — the printed cum is load-bearing.
Chunk 2 (15):
- 0555D, Matth. III, 2 — appropinquabit again.
- 0556C, "Prov. I" (= Prov. V, 1) — Audi, fili mi, sapientiam meam for Vulg. Fili mi, attende ad sapientiam meam.
- 0557C, Exod. XV, 1 — honorificatus est … projecit for Vulg. magnificatus est … deiecit.
- 0557C, "Isa. XXVIII" (= Deut. XXXII, 1) — Attende coelum et loquar, et audiat terra verba ex ore meo for Vulg. Audite, caeli, quae loquor; audiat terra verba oris mei.
- 0557D, Psal. XVII, 2 — virtus mea for Vulg. fortitudo mea. Rendered "my might" so the divergence survives into the English.
- 0559B–C, Ezech. XVI, 3–7 — oculus meus for Vulg. oculus, and sed jacebas nuda plenaque ignominia conculcata in sanguine tuo for Vulg. sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae.
- 0559C, Ezech. XVI, 8–13 — misi amictum meum for Vulg. expandi amictum meum super te; vestimento multicolorio for discoloribus; calciavi te hyacintho for ianthino. The third is load-bearing: the gloss at 0560A expounds hyacintho as the Hebrew color praeparans.
- 0560B, Ose. II, 19–20 — desponsabo five times where Vulg. has sponsabo three times, and in miserationibus is absent.
- 0560B, Isa. LXI, 10 — the opening Posuit mihi mitram sicut sponsae is not in the Vulgate, which instead reads et indumento iustitiae circumdedit me.
- 0560B, Zach. IX, 9 — Noli timere, filia Sion, ecce Rex tuus venit tibi mitis et mansuetus, sedens super pullum asinae for Vulg. Exsulta satis, filia Sion … ecce rex tuus veniet tibi iustus et salvator; ipse pauper, et ascendens super asinam et super pullum filium asinae.
- 0560C, Ephes. V, 27 — immaculatam Ecclesiam for Vulg. gloriosam Ecclesiam. The most consequential divergence in the batch: immaculata is one of the names of the Church that Angelomus has just expounded at length (0559A), and Migne's reading plants that keyword in the Pauline proof-text.
- 0560C, I Cor. XII, 27 — et caro de carne ejus for Vulg. et membra de membro.
- 0560D, Mal. I, 6 — the Dominus and pater clauses in reverse order from the Vulgate, which matters because Angelomus builds a fear → honour → love ladder on the printed sequence.
- 0560D, Ose. II, 20 / Jerem. II, 2 — Desponsavi te mihi in justitia, et fide, vel certe recordatus sum diei desponsationis tuae in deserto: the first clause is Hosea in the perfect (Vulg. future sponsabo), the second answers to Jeremiah.
- 0561D, Phil. II, 8 — Humiliavit se, ut nos exaltaret; the final clause is not in the received text (factus oboediens usque ad mortem).
Chunk 4 (7):
- 0562D, Matth. V, 2 — Aperiens hic Jesus os suum dixit for Vulg. et aperiens os suum, docebat eos dicens.
- 0563A, Joan. III, 29 — gaudio gaudet ad vocem sponsi, omitting Vulg. qui stat et audit eum and reading ad for propter.
- 0563A, Matth. III, 15 — sic enim oportet nos for Vulg. sic enim decet nos.
- 0564A, Num. XII, 6–8 — Si fuerit propheta in somnio loquor ad eum et non sicut famulo meo Moysi for Vulg. Si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini, in visione apparebo ei, vel per somnium loquar ad illum. At non talis servus meus Moyses.
- 0564C, I Cor. I, 25 — the infirmum and stultum clauses in reverse order, and quam homines for Vulg. hominibus.
- 0565B, Luc. VII, 45 — non cessavit osculari pedes ejus, where both the Vulgate and Migne's own quotation of the verse eleven lines earlier (0565A) read pedes meos. The gloss that follows is built on this second, divergent form.
- 0565B, Psal. CXVII, 27 — in confrequentationibus for Vulg. in condensis. Load-bearing: the gloss immediately expounds in confrequentatione.

Cruces — 9033 (Angelomus of Luxeuil, Enarrationes in Cantica canticorum), chunks 0005–0009
Agent stint: chunks 0005–0009 (cols 0566B–0581A). To be merged with the other agents' crux files at assembly.
A. Scripture divergences marked [var: …] in the text (Pattern 14)
Fourteen in all. Each renders Migne's printed wording and notes the received reading beside it; nothing was substituted.
- 0566A–B (chunk 0005), Cant. I, 2 — Migne prints the lemma Unguentum effusum nomen tuum throughout (six occurrences in this chunk). The Vulgate has oleum effusum nomen tuum. The divergence is load-bearing: the whole exposition turns on unguentum (ointment in a vessel, poured out; the unguentum of the Old Testament used for anointing kings; the ointment-vessel broken by nails and lance), and the passage would be incoherent on oleum. Marked once, at first occurrence.
- 0566C (0005), Zach. I, 9 — Migne prints Et dixit ad Angelum « qui loquebatur in me »; the Vulgate has dixit ad me angelus qui loquebatur in me. Migne reverses the direction of address (Angelomus's frame words; the guillemeted portion agrees with the Vulgate). Rendered as printed — "And he said to the Angel « who spoke in me »" — since Pattern 7a mechanism 5 (mis-bound agency) is exactly what a silent repair here would create.
- 0569A (0006), Cant. I, 3 — post te curremus in odore unguentorum tuorum (ablative) against Vulg. in odorem (accusative). The commentary builds on the ablative (In odore unguentorum Dei currimus), so the case is not incidental.
- 0569C (0006), Matth. XVI, 23 — Redi post me, Satanas against Vulg. Vade post me, Satana.
- 0569D (0006), Cant. I, 3 — Introduxit me rex in cubiculum suum against Vulg. in cellaria sua. Material: the entire following gloss is an architecture of the king's house — gate, ascent, triclinia, cubicula — and the fourth stage is expressly the cubiculum regis. Note that at 0577C the same author quotes Cant. II, 4 as Introduxit me rex in cellam vinariam, so both readings stand in this work.
- 0570A (0006), II Cor. XII, 4 — Audivi arcana verba (first person) against Vulg. audivit (third). Changes who heard.
- 0571B (0006), I Cor. VIII, 1 — Migne prints Ista scientia inflat, quia charitas non aedificat. The received text is scientia inflat, caritas vero aedificat. The printed negation is carried ("because charity does not build up"), per Pattern 7a, even though it contradicts the Apostle and does not serve Angelomus's own argument (which is that the humble knower excels the proud one). Not marked as a quotation by Migne — no guillemets, no
[n:]— so the[var:]names the verse. This is the most likely candidate in the stint for a plate defect (vero → non); it is not emended. - 0571D (0006), Ps. XXX, 20 — et perfecisti ea sperantibus in te against Vulg. perfecisti eis qui sperant in te.
- 0571D–0572A (0006), II Tim. IV, 8 — Migne's Quae praeparavit Deus non solum mihi, sed omnibus qui diligunt adventum ejus conflates the verse with I Cor. II, 9 (quae praeparavit Deus); the Vulgate reads reddet mihi Dominus … non solum autem mihi, sed et his qui diligunt adventum eius.
- 0572A (0007), Cant. I, 4 — formosa filia Hierusalem (singular) against Vulg. formonsa filiae Hierusalem (plural vocative). Angelomus's own gloss at 0573B pluralizes (quas et filias Hierusalem vocat), so the singular is not his consistent reading.
- 0573A (0007), Act. XIII, 46 — Vobis missum fuerat verbum Dei, sed quia vos indignos judicastis against Vulg. vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei; sed quoniam repellitis illud et indignos vos iudicastis aeternae vitae. Migne loses "of eternal life" and turns Paul's "we had to speak" into "had been sent."
- 0574A (0007), II Cor. X, 5 — Cogitationum consilia destruentes; the Vulgate has simply consilia destruentes. (Migne's note reads II Thess. II; the reference is not corrected here —
refDisplayrule.) - 0576C (0008), Habac. III, 15 — Misisti in mare equos tuos, turbantes aquas multas against Vulg. viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum. Migne's reading follows the Old Latin / LXX (ἐπεβίβασας εἰς θάλασσαν τοὺς ἵππους σου ταράσσοντας ὕδωρ πολύ). The proof-text is adduced precisely for God's horses in the sea, which the Vulgate wording does not give as directly — this is the divergence doing argumentative work.
- 0580B (0009), Matth. XXVIII — Ite, nuntiate fratribus meis, quia praecedit vos in Galilaeam, ibi eum videbitis conflates 28:10 (ite nuntiate fratribus meis ut eant in Galilaeam, ibi me videbunt) with 28:7.
B. Scripture divergences checked and deliberately NOT marked
All are same-sense or trivial; recorded so a later sweep does not re-open them.
- 0566C (0005) flagrantia unguentis optimis for Vulg. fraglantia — metathesis, standard medieval orthography (Pattern 9). No mark.
- 0569B (0006) « Pedes ejus steterunt, et mota est terra », cited Psal. CVI. No Vulgate parallel located in Ps. 105/106 or elsewhere; nearest is Habac. III, 6 (stetit et mensus est terram). Because no received reading can be named with confidence, no
[var:]was added. Rendered as printed. Flagged for whoever indexes the scripture citations. - 0570A (0006) Ascensus in corde suo disposuit (Ps. LXXXIII, 6) for Vulg. ascensiones. Same sense.
- 0572D (0007) Quod si volentes in Christo justificari (Gal. II, 17) for Vulg. quaerentes. Same sense; also unmarked as a quotation in Migne.
- 0573B (0007) Fuistis aliquando tenebrae (Eph. V, 8) for Vulg. eratis enim. Same sense.
- 0574C (0007) Vobis autem timentibus nomen meum orietur sol justitiae (Mal. IV, 2; Migne cites Matth. IV) — word order differs from Vulg. et orietur vobis timentibus nomen meum sol iustitiae; sense identical. The citation itself is Migne's and is not corrected.
- 0573A / 0574A / 0574D / 0575A (0007) Cant. I, 5 is printed four ways — custodem vineis, custodem in vineis, vineam non custodivi, vineam meam non custodivi. Each rendered as printed at its own occurrence; the variation is Migne's, not smoothed.
- 0575D / 0576A (0008) Cant. I, 7 printed first as post vestigia gregum tuorum, then twice without tuorum (Vulgate lacks it). Rendered as printed each time.
- 0577C (0008) I Petr. V, 8–9 fortes in fide for Vulg. fortes fide; and the omission of sobrii estote. Trivial.
- 0577C (0008) Introduxit me rex in cellam vinariam (Cant. II, 4) — Vulgate has no rex. Carried over from the Introduxit me rex of I, 3 above.
- 0578A/0578B/0579A (0009) Cant. I, 9 printed as ut turturis, then sicut turturis, then Quam pulchrae sunt genae tuae sicut turturis (Vulgate has no Quam). Each rendered as printed.
- 0578C (0009) Ps. LXXXIII, 4 ubi reponat pullos suos for Vulg. ponat. Same sense.
- 0580A / 0580C (0009) II Cor. II, 14–15 compressed (Deo autem gratias qui semper triumphat nos in omni loco, dropping in Christo Iesu et odorem notitiae suae manifestat per nos), and at 0580C in omni loco is attached to v. 15. Obvious authorial compression; rendered as printed.
- 0579C/0580A (0009) Cant. I, 11 printed once as Dum esset rex and twice as Cum esset rex; Vulgate has dum. Each rendered as printed.
C. Carried type — [sic: …] (Patterns 10, 12)
- 0577A (0008) — sub viti s currebas. Split type for vitiis; the broken run is carried untranslated in italics inside
[sic: viti s], and the sentence reads "thou wast running under [sic: viti s]". Conjecture: vitiis, near-certain (the same clause has vitiis deserviebas eight words earlier). This is the only carried run in the stint.
D. Lexical and syntactic cruces — rendered as printed, no emendation
- 0566C (0005) lampabili sermone. Lampabilis is a rare formation (from lampare, to shine); it is construable and was rendered "in shining discourse" rather than carried as non-word type. Possible but unproven: laudabili.
- 0566D–0567A (0005) tamen non erit inconveniens, duo ubera Christi Baptistam et Evangelistam duos Joannes intelligit proprie — the impersonal frame is completed by a third-singular indicative with no expressed subject. Rendered with the shift intact ("yet it will not be unfitting: he understands properly…"). Not emended to intelligi.
- 0567B (0005) qui de terrenis levatam ad Patris consortium ducunt Ecclesiam — plural verb after a chain of singular relatives referring to Christ; the nearest plural antecedent is potestatibus. Rendered with the plural as printed.
- 0567B (0005) The long sentence Hujus ergo lacte doctrinae … quotidie porrigit is anacoluthic: an ablative lacte with no governing verb, an accusative praedicta ubera left hanging, and a quae si clause resuming something not previously nominative. Rendered clause by clause with the breaks preserved by dashes; nothing supplied.
- 0567B (0005) per lactis naturam, id est casti liquorem. Genitive of castum; rendered literally, "the liquid of what is chaste." Likely intended: casei (the liquid of cheese), which suits the butter-making figure that follows. Not emended.
- 0567D (0005) cujus virtute pinguedinis … absconsam flagrantiam, quae … docetur versiculo — accusative with no governing verb. Rendered as printed with the anacoluthon visible.
- 0568C (0005) Quia ergo neque hi flagrant … neque hi qui jam fidem coeperunt, sed friguerunt, postposita puerili vel senili vita. — a quia clause with no apodosis. Both neques carried; the sentence stops where Migne stops it (Pattern 8).
- 0571A (0006) Ubera in arcta pectoris fixa sunt, et externo nutrimentum trahunt — arcta used substantivally ("the narrow parts"), possibly for arcano; externo a bare dative/ablative. Rendered literally.
- 0571A (0006) Habet iste sponsus ubera, qui etiam rex propter reverentiam vocatur habet ubera, sanctos viros… The phrase habet ubera stands twice. It is not marked
[d: …]: the two occurrences are separated by a relative clause and read as rhetorical resumption, not as an adjacent compositor's doubling (Pattern 11 covers the latter). Recorded here so the judgment is visible. - 0571C (0006) Vinum est scientia quae inebriat memoriam uberum, quae inebriat quem ad cognitionem donorum revocat. — the second quae inebriat has no clean antecedent and quem is unbound. Rendered as printed.
- 0573C (0007) Macerati sumus per poenitentiam, mortificati vero per poenitentiam quasi pellis in obsequium regis adducitur — nominative plural participles with a singular passive verb. Rendered with the number mismatch intact.
- 0574A–B (0007) Vinea Ecclesiae antiqua consuetudo erroris est. Quem dum custos ad virtutes ponitur, deserit vineam… — masculine relative for the feminine vinea, and the relative has no verb of its own. Rendered as printed ("Which, while one is set as keeper unto the virtues, he forsakes — that vineyard…").
- 0574B (0007) Et non est justum ut aliquis ex praeterita vita pensetur, et non magis attendatur quod fuit, sed quod est. As printed, the second negation makes the clause say the opposite of the argument (which is that what a man is should be regarded). The
nonis carried — "and that there be not more regarded what he was, but what he is" — per Pattern 7a; the intended reading is almost certainly with quod fuit and quod est transposed, or magis attaching to quod est. Not emended. - 0574D (0007) Ecce dum pugnant isti spiritus rationes, spiritus isti filii matris dum pugnant contra animam… — rationes is a nominative/accusative plural noun where an adjective (rationales, matching duae creaturae rationales at 0574C) is required; the sentence then restarts. Rendered literally ("these spirits, reasons"). Rationes is a real word and so takes no
[sic: …](Pattern 12's boundary), but the restart may be a compositor's false start. - 0576A (0008) Si vero non cognoscis, aliquid facta es, egredere et abi… — three clauses joined by commas with no subordinator; rendered with the punctuation as printed (Pattern 8).
- 0576B (0008) Ecce increpasti, ecce redarguisti. Quid enim non dicis. Quid tu benigne in ea operatus es? The full stop after a quid clause is preserved, not converted to a question mark (Pattern 8).
- 0577B (0008) ut eamdem sanctam Ecclesiam in subjectis ab internorum videlicet malignorum spirituum ancilibus Evangeliorum munitus, gladiis … accinctus… The parse is genuinely ambiguous: ancilibus (sacred shields) may govern Evangeliorum ("fortified with the shields of the Gospels") or belong to spirituum ("from the shields of the malignant spirits"). The second was taken, because Evangeliorum munitus then parallels gladiis … accinctus and spiculis … ornatus; the first is defensible. Nothing emended.
- 0577B (0008) The Lothair address (Quocirca suadere, imo suggerere … defendere possis) is a single sentence with two ut clauses and a quia clause that never resolves; rendered as one long period with the joins visible. Note the address shifts between vestrae/vestra and tui/tu mid-sentence — preserved.
- 0578A–B (0009) Sic nimirum sancti Patres, sic anima sancta et fidelis … quo utique fugiendo … eo modo cognoscitur coelestem facere prolem … transmittit ad coelum. — the double subject never receives a single verb, and quo / quidquid pretiosum are left unattached. Rendered clause by clause.
- 0579A–B (0009) per quem Novi et Veteris Testamenti verba … cum catenata quasi una veritatis catenula sermo effectus … Ecclesiae collum decorat — plural subject verba with singular decorat, and a parenthetic cum clause whose subject changes to sermo. Rendered as printed.
- 0579B (0009) Et quia sancti doctores … verbum praedicationis, ornati virtutibus aliis administrant — aliis read as "to others" (dative) rather than as an adjective with virtutibus; the following Quae opera has no main clause of its own. Rendered as printed.
- 0580D (0009) Unde semper habens in memoria recordationis quam propinqua est uberibus pectoris, et qualiter passus est pro ipsa… — quam propinqua is an indirect question dependent on nothing expressed. Rendered "how near he is to the breasts of the bosom."
E. Editorial decisions on lemma wording
- 0579A / 0579B (0009), murenulae. Cant. I, 9 Murenulas aureas faciemus tibi is kept in italic Latin rather than Englished, because Angelomus himself glosses the word: at 0579B he prints « Collum tuum sicut monilia. Murenulas » vel catenulas « aureas faciemus tibi… ». An English "chains" in the lemma would make the gloss ("or little chains") say nothing. This follows the case-2 rule of the Song-of-Songs ruling (a gloss depends on the word → the Latin stands in italic) and matches 10804's murenulae; it does not imply that 10379's "chains of gold" should be swept — each commentary stands.
- 0575A / 0577C, hinnulus. Migne prints the word plain at 0575A (qui subter hinnulus vocatur) and italic at 0577C (qui subter hinnulus appellatur). The English mirrors the plate exactly: "a fawn" plain in the first, a fawn italic in the second. Not normalized.
- Quotation marks. Per Pattern 6's corollary, only the lemmata Migne marks with « » carry guillemets. Every chunk's guillemet count matches its Latin twin 1:1 (15 / 27 / 26 / 20 / 17 pairs); no gloss-internal quotation was added, so no
" "appears in the stint. - Pattern 3. in Scriptura sacra (0574C), divinarum Scripturarum (0577B, twice), sacrarum Scripturarum (0577D), Scripturam utriusque Testamenti (0579B) all take the capitalized form.
Cruces — 9033 (Angelomus Luxoviensis, Enarrationes in Cantica canticorum), chunks 0010–0014
Agent stint: chunks 0010–0014 (cols 0581B–0596B). A later merge step reconciles this file with the other agents' crux files for this work.
Carried type ([sic: …])
### 0581B — oculus haeai for oculus haedi Migne prints Quod autem oculus haeai interpretatur. Two lines earlier the same etymology is printed correctly twice (fons haedi, oculus haedi), and the whole gloss turns on the kid (haedus). haeai is not a word; carried untranslated in italics inside [sic: haeai], with the real word oculus rendered ("eye"). Conjecture: haedi, near-certain.
### 0586D–0587A — partriarchis for patriarchis Salvator in angeli persona partriarchis et prophetis loquendo. The same word is printed correctly as patriarchae/patriarchas five times in the neighbouring columns (0587A, 0587B, 0590A). Non-word; carried as [sic: partriarchis]. Conjecture: patriarchis.
### 0590A — Spitum sanctum for Spiritum sanctum tertium Spitum sanctum, qui vera ratione de voce et verbo de Patre et Filio procedere comprobatur. Non-word; carried as [sic: Spitum], with sanctum translated ("Holy"), so the page reads "the Holy Spitum". Conjecture: Spiritum, certain from the following relative clause.
Real words that are merely wrong — rendered as printed (Pattern 7 / Pattern 12 boundary)
### 0590A — panem where the argument requires Patrem quid aliud credendum est primum imbui, nisi ut credat et agnoscat primum debere panem nominari, in quo Filius semper, ut Verbum invocet; secundum Filium in quo semper Pater, tertium Spitum sanctum. The three-term series is plainly Father–Son–Spirit, and the second member (in quo semper Pater) presupposes that the first member was the Father. panem is nevertheless a real word and is rendered as printed: "that first the bread ought to be named, in whom the Son always is". No [sic:] (Pattern 12: only carried, untranslated type is marked). Conjecture: Patrem.
### 0595B — exsultabuntur for exaltabuntur (Ps. LXXIV, 11) Tunc « exsultabuntur cornua justi ». exsulto is not normally passive; the Vulgate reads exaltabuntur. Rendered as printed, "shall be exulted", and additionally marked [var: …] since it is a scripture divergence. Conjecture: exaltabuntur.
### 0583C — qua for quae Quod multis animabus evenisse probatur, qua se ab una verissima praedicta confessione fidei evulsae et arefactae gehennae pabulum praebuerunt. qua cannot govern the plural praebuerunt; the participles evulsae, arefactae are feminine plural agreeing with animabus. Rendered as though relative to animabus ("which, torn away … offered themselves"), which is the only reading the printed words allow.
Unconstruable or strained passages, rendered as closely as the printed words allow
### 0582D — vitam conferentem aeternam Ecclesiae genuit Qui usque hodie per tristitiam moeroremque vitam conferentem aeternam Ecclesiae genuit, ut praedictum est, in eis qui …. The word order will not resolve cleanly: aeternam sits outside vitam … conferentem, which it should modify (vitam aeternam conferentem, "conferring eternal life"). Rendered "has begotten for the Church a life conferring eternity". No emendation made.
### 0583D–0584A — Post genarum et colli decoram sponsae vicem reddendo … et geminato praeconio absconso Post genarum et colli decoram sponsae vicem reddendo oculorum pulchritudo laudatur in doctorum simplicitate suorum, et geminato praeconio absconso. decoram has no governing noun (decorem, "comeliness", would construe with genarum et colli), and absconso is a dangling ablative with no evident head. Rendered "After the comeliness of the cheeks and of the neck, by rendering the bride her turn, the beauty of the eyes is praised in the simplicity of her doctors, and by a doubled proclamation kept hidden." Conjecture: decorem; absconso perhaps for abscondito or for a lost noun.
### 0587A — Omnis scientia, per prophetas, per signorum virtutes … The whole sentence lacks a finite main verb: Omnis scientia, per prophetas, per signorum virtutes interficiendo impios per aquas diluvii, vel Sodomitas per ignem, per quod insipientes intelligerent sapientiam, et stulti superbi aliquando saperent super se commorari excelsiorem judicem, justam exsolventem vindictam. Rendered as the printed anacoluthon, with no verb supplied.
### 0586C–0586D — et lilia integritati per suam poenitentiam … gloriosae domus Christo parantur flores sapientiae coelestis, et lilia integritati per suam poenitentiam ad magnam jucunditatem honoris ipse Dominus praedictarum domorum impendit. integritati is dative where the sense wants a genitive (integritatis), and domorum is genitive where impendit wants a dative. Rendered "and the flowers of heavenly wisdom, and lilies of integrity, through their penance, the Lord himself bestows upon the aforesaid houses unto the great delightfulness of honor."
### 0591C — quia nullum quem desiderat videre adhuc non permittitur — double negation carried Twelve lines earlier the same clause is printed sed quia illum quem desiderat videre prout est adhuc non permittitur ("him whom she desires"). Here illum has become nullum, producing a double negative with non permittitur. Both negations are carried: "because she is still not permitted to see none whom she desires." Conjecture: illum. No repair made in the text (Pattern 7a).
### 0595C — lateret ex passionibus … cerneretur ex passionibus quasi per cancellos et fenestras ad homines venit ut Deus, ut appareret ex miraculis, sicut dictum est, et lateret ex passionibus, et homo cerneretur ex passionibus. The source of the sententia (Gregory) has Deus appareret ex miraculis, homo cerneretur ex passionibus; here ex passionibus is printed twice with two different verbs, and the clause lateret ex passionibus contradicts nothing but is redundant. This is not a straight dittography of a run (the verbs differ), so no [d: …] was used; both clauses are rendered.
### 0594C — et ad nihilum redacta humiliatur omnem superbiam sapientiae mundi extollentem se adversus Creatorem liquefecit, et ad nihilum redacta humiliatur. Active liquefecit is followed by a passive humiliatur with a shifted subject and a change of tense. Rendered as printed.
Scripture divergences from the received text
23 [var: …] markers were added across the five chunks. Each is listed here with the column, Migne's printed reading, and the received reading.
| Col | Ref | Migne prints | Received text |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0582A | John 14:23 | Ego et Pater veniemus, et mansionem apud eum faciemus | Vulg. ad eum veniemus et mansionem apud eum faciemus |
| 0582A | Matt 18:19 | Si duobus vel tribus convenerit super terram, quidquid petierint in nomine meo fiet eis | Vulg. si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram de omni re quamcumque petierint fiet illis a Patre meo |
| 0582B | Hab 3:2 | In medio duorum animalium cognosceris (unattributed) | Vulg. in medio annorum vivifica illud; Migne's is the Vet. Lat./LXX reading |
| 0582C | Matt 5:5 | Beati qui lugent nunc, quia ipsi consolabuntur | Vulg. Beati qui lugent, quoniam ipsi consolabuntur (no nunc) |
| 0584C | 1 Cor 12:3 | nullus dicit Dominum Jesum | Vulg. nemo potest dicere Dominus Iesus |
| 0585B | Col 3:1 | Si mortui estis cum Christo … in dextera Dei Patris | Vulg. si consurrexistis cum Christo … in dextera Dei sedens |
| 0587D | Matt 16:6 | Cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum | Vulg. a fermento Pharisaeorum et Sadducaeorum |
| 0587D | 2 Cor 6:16 (Migne's note reads I Cor. VI) | qui est sensus templo Dei cum idolis | Vulg. qui consensus templo Dei cum idolis |
| 0587D | Isa 52:11 | Exite de medio eorum, et qui portatis vasa Domini, mundamini | Vulg. exite de medio eius … mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini; de medio eorum is 2 Cor 6:17 |
| 0588B | Heb 1:1 | Dei Filius locutus est patribus nostris | Vulg. olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis |
| 0588D | Matt 11:28 | et ego vos requiescere faciam | Vulg. et ego reficiam vos — and Migne himself prints the Vulgate form at 0596A, so the divergence is local to this citation |
| 0589C | Song 2:4 | Introduxit me rex in cellam vinariam | Vulg. introduxit me in cellam vinariam (no rex) |
| 0589D | John 6:27 | Operamini cibum qui non perit, sed qui permanet in aeternum | Vulg. operamini non cibum qui perit sed qui permanet in vitam aeternam — the negation sits on cibum in the received text |
| 0590D | Rom 13:7 (Migne's note reads Rom. XII) | Reddite singulis debita, cui honorem … cui vectigal, vectigal | Vulg. reddite omnibus debita, order tributum … vectigal … timorem … honorem |
| 0591A | Eccl 1:18 | Qui addit scientiam, addit dolorem | Vulg. qui addit scientiam addit et laborem. Material: the whole following gloss turns on dolor (De quo dolore beatus amor nascitur Christi) |
| 0591D | Phil 1:24 | Permanere autem in carne, necessarium existimo propter vos | Vulg. permanere autem in carne magis necessarium est propter vos |
| 0592A | Ps 41:3 | Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fontem vivum … ante faciem Domini | Vulg. ad Deum fortem vivum … ante faciem Dei. fontem is a widely attested variant and is what the surrounding baptismal imagery wants |
| 0594A | Matt 24:4-5, 24 | Videte ne seducamini a pseudoprophetis + dabunt signa | Vulg. 24:4 videte ne quis vos seducat; a pseudoprophetis absent; 24:24 dabunt signa magna et prodigia |
| 0594B | Luke 12:36 | Similes estote servis exspectantibus dominum suum | Vulg. similes hominibus expectantibus dominum suum |
| 0595B | Ps 74:11 | exsultabuntur cornua justi | Vulg. cornua iusti exaltabuntur (see carried-type section above) |
| 0595B | Song 2:9 | respiciens per fenestras | Vulg. despiciens per fenestras. Material: the gloss repeats respicit four times (0596A) |
| 0595D | Isa 50:2 + 59:2 | Nunquid non valet manus mea ad liberandum? Sed peccata vestra murum fecerunt inter vos et Deum | Vulg. 50:2 numquid adbreviata et parvula facta est manus mea ut non possim redimere; 59:2 iniquitates vestrae diviserunt inter vos et Deum vestrum. The murum is the commentator's own — the whole exposition of the paries depends on it |
| 0596B | Eph 2:14-16 | Qui tulit parietem maceriae de medio, et reconciliavit nos Deo Patri per sanguinem ipsius | Vulg. medium parietem maceriae solvens … ut reconciliet ambos in uno corpore Deo per crucem |
Divergences checked and deliberately NOT marked (logged only)
These were read word by word against the Vulgate; the difference does not change the sense, so no [var: …] was added.
- 0582A, Matt 18:20 — Ubi congregati fuerint duo vel tres in nomine meo, ego in medio eorum sum / Vulg. ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo ibi sum in medio eorum. Word order and tense only.
- 0582A, 1 Cor 3:2 — Lac vobis potum dedi non escam. Exact Vulgate.
- 0585D, Ps 91:13 — Justus ut palma florebit, et sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur. Vulgate lacks the connective et; nothing else.
- 0585C / 0585D, Song 1:16 — the lemma is printed first as Tigna domorum nostrarum cedrina, laquearia cypressina and then, twelve lines later, as laquearia nostra cypressina (the Vulgate form). Migne prints the verse both ways on the same page; both are rendered as printed.
- 0588B / 0589A, Song 2:3 — the lemma is printed Sicut malus inter ligna silvarum (feminine, "apple tree") and later Sicut malum inter ligna silvarum (neuter, "apple", the Vulgate form). Rendered "apple tree" and "apple" respectively, following the printed forms; the intervening gloss supports both (arborem malum vel granatum eum appellat Ecclesia … Sicut malum visu, odore et gustu antecedit).
- 0588B / 0589B, Song 2:3 — sub umbra illius quem desiderabam sedi (imperfect) / Vulg. desideraveram (pluperfect); and the second citation at 0589B reads Sub umbra quam desiderabam, with the relative referred to umbra rather than to the beloved. Both rendered as printed.
- 0589A, Ps 118:103 — Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua! Domine, super mel ori meo. The vocative Domine is not in the Vulgate; rendered as printed.
- 0589B, Ps 95:12-13 — ante faciem Domini quoniam venit / Vulg. a facie Domini quia venit.
- 0590B, Deut 6:5 (Migne's note reads Exod. XX) — in toto corde tuo … in tota virtute tua / Vulg. ex toto corde tuo … ex tota fortitudine tua; virtute agrees with Mark 12:30. The exposition turns on the three ordines, not on the wording.
- 0591A, Phil 3:8 — omnia arbitratus sum ut stercora / Vulg. arbitror ut stercora.
- 0591A, Song 1:3 — Exsultabimus et laetabimur in te. Exact Vulgate.
- 0591D, Phil 1:23 — Desiderium habeo dissolvi et cum Christo esse / Vulg. desiderium habens dissolvi et esse cum Christo.
- 0593A, 2 Tim 2:20 (Migne's note reads II Thes. II) — not set as a quotation; vasa aurea et argentea, sed et fictilia et lignea reverses the Vulgate's final pair.
- 0594B, Luke 21:34 — Videte ne graventur corda vestra crapula aut ebrietate / Vulg. adtendite autem vobis ne forte graventur corda vestra in crapula et ebrietate.
- 0594B, Hab 3:6 — confregerit montes violentiae, et liquefecerit colles aeternales. Not set as a quotation (introduced only by secundum Habacuc prophetam); the Vulgate has dissoluti sunt montes saeculi, incurvati sunt colles mundi. Left unmarked because Migne does not present it as a citation.
- 0594C, Song 2:8 — Ecce venit saliens in montibus / Vulg. ecce iste venit.
- 0595A, Ps 67:14 — Pennae columbae deargentatae in posteriora dorsi ejus / Vulg. et posteriora dorsi eius in pallore auri. The clause is truncated where the commentator stops; rendered as printed.
- 0596A, Matt 11:28 and Matt 25:34; 0596B, Luke 24:36 — all three agree with the Vulgate verbatim.
- All Song of Songs lemmata not listed above (1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 2:1, 2:2, 2:5, 2:6, 2:7, 2:9a) agree with the Vulgate word for word.
Notes on rendering decisions
- cypri / Cypri. Migne prints the lemma word lowercase at 0581A–0581B (Botrus cypri, the henna/cypress of Song 1:13) and capitalized from 0582B onward (Botrus Cypri), where the gloss reads it as the island (insula Cyprus mirae magnitudinis botros uvarum gignere comprobatur; Cyprus vero tristitia vel moeror interpretatur). The English follows the printed capitalization: "cluster of cypress" where Migne prints cypri, "cluster of Cyprus" where he prints Cypri. The pun is Migne's own typography and is preserved rather than harmonized. (At 0583B Cyprino oleo is rendered "oil of cyprus", the printed adjective.)
- ὀρὴ (0583B).
Caverna enim Graeco sermone ὀρὴ dicitur.The Greek word for a hole is ὀπή; ὀρὴ is what the plate prints. Reproduced verbatim, untranslated, per the marker rule — no[sic: …]was stacked on it since it is Greek script carried through, not broken Latin type. - Column anchor inside a word (0591A). Migne breaks omnibus across the column:
Amplius om [0591A] nibus laboravi. English cannot split the corresponding word at the same point; the anchor is placed at the nearest word boundary ("I have labored more than [0591A] all"). - Quotation marks. Guillemets are placed 1:1 with the Latin twin throughout, including the several places where Migne opens a quotation for one clause of a proof-text and leaves the rest of it unquoted (0587D, the 2 Cor 6 series; 0591A, Amplius omnibus laboravi; 0595B, Tunc « exsultabuntur cornua justi »). No gloss-internal quotation required supplied

Carried type ([sic: …], Patterns 7 / 10 / 12)
0597C — infidelitatiis. Migne prints Jam frigus infidelitatiis et imber iniquitatis recesserunt. No such word; infidelitatis is near-certain (the parallel genitive iniquitatis follows immediately). Non-word type, carried untranslated in italics inside [sic: …].
0600C — demo liuntur. The lemma Song 2:15 is printed correctly the first time (quae demoliuntur vineas, 0600C) and split the second time in the gloss's re-quotation: « Capite nobis vulpes parvulas quae demo liuntur vineas, ». Split type per Pattern 10; the whole broken run is carried, spacing included. That the same word stands whole nine lines earlier is the proof it is a compositor's division, not a form.
0602D — prophatarum. Vicos vero atque plateas, libros legis et prophatarum vocat. For prophetarum; a single-vowel non-word, carried.
Repetition ([d: …], Pattern 11)
0602C — Et quicunque deitatem non credit in Christo printed twice. The plate reads:
Quicunque solum hominem credit Christum, non inveniet eum. Et quicunque deitatem non credit in Christo, non inveniet eum. Et quicunque deitatem non credit in Christo, vocat quidem in noctibus perversorum sensuum suorum Dominum Dei Filium, sed non respondet ei…
The clause Et quicunque deitatem non credit in Christo is set twice, with different continuations. Judgment: compositor's doubling by eye-skip, not authorial anaphora — the two continuations belong to two different sentence shapes, and the first of them (non inveniet eum) merely repeats the tail of the sentence before it. The [d: …] marker wraps the second occurrence per Pattern 11. Flagged as a judgment call: an editor who preferred to treat the first sentence as the intrusion would mark the other one, and the plate does not settle it. Both occurrences are printed either way.
Scripture divergences carrying a [var: …] marker
Eleven, all rendered as Migne prints them and noted beside, never substituted.
| Col | Lemma | Migne prints | Received text |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0596B–C | Mal. 4:2 | timentibus Deum | Vulg. timentibus nomen meum |
| 0597D | Matt. 10:35 | separare filium a patre, et nurum a socru sua, et filiam a matre sua | Vulg. hominem adversus patrem suum … filiam adversus matrem suam … nurum adversus socrum suam |
| 0597D–0598A | 1 Cor. 13:12 | …facie ad faciem, et videbimus eum sicuti est | Vulg. 1 Cor. 13:12 ends at facie ad faciem; the added clause is 1 John 3:2 |
| 0598D | Matt. 3:2 | appropinqabit (future) | Vulg. appropinquavit (perfect) |
| 0601C | Song 2:17 | super montes Bethel | Vulg. super montes Bether |
| 0601D | Ps. 8:2 | Quam elevata est magnificentia tua | Vulg. Quoniam elevata est |
| 0600D | 2 Cor. 10:5 | Corripientes omnem hominem in captivitatem redigimus omnem scientiam | Vulg. omnem altitudinem … in captivitatem redigentes omnem intellectum in obsequium Christi |
| 0603A | Ps. 126:1 | in vanum vigilant qui custodiunt eam | Vulg. frustra vigilat qui custodit eam (sing.) |
| 0603B | Song 3:4 | Tenui manum ejus … in domum patris mei | Vulg. Tenui eum … in domum matris meae |
| 0604D | Song 3:7 | sexaginta ambiunt | Vulg. sexaginta fortes ambiunt |
| 0606A | Song 3:11 | filiae Hierusalem | Vulg. filiae Sion |
Three of these are load-bearing and worth naming:
- 0601C, Bethel for Bether. The gloss depends entirely on the divergent reading — montes Bethel, quae domus Dei dicitur — and repeats the etymology twice. The Vulgate's Bether would leave the whole exposition without a foothold.
- 0604D, sexaginta ambiunt without fortes. The lemma drops the very word the gloss four lines later expounds (Sexaginta fortes praedicatores sunt sancti, et fortissimi bellatores). The lemma is short one word its own commentary needs.
- 0603B, domum patris mei for domum matris meae. The gloss then glosses the verse's genitrix as the Synagogue quae me genuit — i.e. it construes the maternal half of the verse while the lemma printed above it has become paternal.
Scripture divergences logged but NOT marked (below the [var: …] threshold)
Each was checked word by word; none changes the sense, so none took a marker.
- 0596C, John 16:33 — Migne Confidite, quia ego vici mundum; Vulg. sed confidite, ego vici mundum. A supplied connective.
- 0598B, Luke 1:34 — quia virum non cognosco for Vulg. quoniam.
- 0598C, Matt. 3:3 / John 1:23 — «Ego vox clamantis in deserto, parate viam Domini» cited to (Matth. V): the Ego is John's, Parate is Matthew's; a conflation of the two forms of the same verse. The citation's chapter number is also off, which is index-time business, not ours.
- 0598C, Luke 3:8 — Facite fructus dignos poenitentiae, Vulg. Facite ergo fructus.
- 0597A, 0599C, Song 2:13 — Surge, propera, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni; Vulg. 2:13 has no propera, which belongs to 2:10. Assimilation of the two verses, and Angelomus quotes both forms within a page. Also 0597A Exsurge where 0596B and 0597C print Surge; the English keeps the distinction ("Rise up" / "Arise").
- 0600A, Isa. 2:10 — Ingredere in petram, abscondere in fossa humo, Vulg. et abscondere.
- 0602C, Ps. 48:8 — Frater non redemit, redimet homo; Vulg. non redimit. Perfect for present; the argument does not turn on the tense.
- 0603B, Song 3:4 — Paululum cum pertransissem, Vulg. pertransissem eos.
- 0604A, Ps. 140:2 — in conspectu tuo, Domine — supplied vocative.
- 0605A, Song 3:9 — Ferculum sibi fecit rex Salomon, Vulg. Ferculum fecit sibi.
- 0602B, Song 3:1 — per noctem for Vulg. per noctes. The gloss picks the singular up (Per noctem quaerimus), so the reading is at least consistent with itself; singular/plural here does not shift the sense enough for a marker.
Readings rendered literally under Pattern 7 (no emendation in the text)
0601D — Nec moralis siquidem admittendus est sensus. "Nor indeed is the moral sense to be admitted." The printed negation contradicts the sentence that follows it, which proceeds immediately to give the moral sense (Unusquisque enim credentium Deo, ipse se fecit montem Dei…). Conjecture: Nunc for Nec, or a lost non… non. The negation is carried per Pattern 7a — this is precisely the class where a silent repair would leave a smooth page and destroy the evidence.
0606A — per filios Hierusalem infirmantium mentes significat, three words after Filias dicunt, non filios. The plate denies "sons" and then expounds "sons." Filias is near-certain in the second clause. Both are rendered as printed.
0598A — Ut tempus putationis est, vocatio e mundo animae coelestium. Will not construe cleanly: coelestium (gen. pl.) has no evident head, and there is no main verb for the second member. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow ("As is the time of pruning, so is the calling out of the world of the soul of the heavenly ones"). A likely intent is vocatio e mundo animae ad coelestia, but that is conjecture and stays here.
0602B — Quem quaerens ob hoc minime invenit, ut amore illius accensa ardentius quaerens. The ut clause has no finite verb (quaerens, participle, where quaerat is wanted). Rendered as an unfinished clause, as printed.
0604B — ut hanc nec ipse animus comprehendere qui illuminatus meruit habere. The ut clause again lacks its verb (valeat / possit). Rendered with the supplied modal bracketed by sense only — "[can] comprehend it" — the negation nec carried in full.
0602C — Sine causa igitur laborem impendit quaerendo, qui aequalem hominibus absque peccato et coaeternam Patri, non fuerit utraque natura confessus Deum, qui redemit, et hominem per quem redemit perditos Deus. Word order and case make the two accusatives (aequalem, coaeternam — the latter feminine) float free of Deum and hominem. Rendered following the sense the clause plainly intends, without altering any word; coaeternam has no English exponent for its gender (Pattern 9).
0601C — ut laborem peregrinationes meae speculatione aeterna releves. peregrinationes (acc. pl.) where peregrinationis (gen. sg.) is required by laborem. English carries no case exponent here, so the phrase renders identically either way ("the labour of my pilgrimage"); logged, no edit — the Pattern 9 gender/case precedent.
0605D — Habet quippe charitatem, et ibi sine dubio praevenis.* Second-person singular in a run of third-person clauses (Habet … erigitur … tenetur). Rendered as printed ("thou dost come beforehand"); praevenit* is the obvious conjecture.
0601A–B — quae nulla peccati nigredine sit maculata, non turpium verborum mendaciique absconsa, vel blasphemiarum raucedine voce horrida, sed dulcedinem suis laudibus resonantem reddit vicem.* The relative chain governed by faciem breaks at reddit*, which is indicative and takes a new subject. Rendered with the break visible.
0601A — Conjuncta itaque Ecclesia Christo … ut eam abundantiore gaudio cumulet per omnia, et in quibus ipse per laetitiam pascitur, et quid ille delectetur in ea ostendit, et quid illa respondere debeat … docetur. Anacoluthon: the opening ablative absolute never receives its main clause, and ostendit / docetur change voice mid-sentence. Rendered clause by clause as printed.
0599C — Sed ubi passiones Christi sacramenta sunt celebrata per apostolorum doctrinam. passiones (nom./acc. pl. fem.) beside sacramenta … celebrata (n. pl.). Rendered "the sacraments of Christ's passions were celebrated"; no English exponent for the mismatch.
0600C — Sed calliditate insidiisque vulpium maturitatem fructus exspectantium ad demoliendam devorandamque parata, quae sunt … dogmata ait Jesus suis doctoribus. parata has no subject after the preceding sentence's paratam, and quae sunt … dogmata is a parenthesis wedged between parata and ait. Rendered with the parenthesis marked by dashes; nothing supplied.
0604A — per thus paritas orationum. paritas, "equality," is a real word and is rendered as such under Pattern 7 (so it takes no [sic: …], per Pattern 12's boundary for real-words-merely-wrong). puritas, "purity of prayers," is near-certain — it is the standard partner of mortificatio carnalium voluptatum in the myrrh/frankincense pairing, and Angelomus's own next sentences develop purity, not equality.
0604D — Qui per senarium multiplicatus fuerit, sexaginta complent. Singular relative, plural verb. No English exponent worth marking; rendered "Which, when it has been multiplied by six, they make up sixty."
0596C — quia nobis umbra sua obstabat sol justitiae. sol justitiae is the subject of obstabat, so the sun of justice is what stands in our way — the reverse of the figure the sentence is building (Song 2:9, stat post parietem nostrum). Rendered as printed.
Not defects (checked and left alone, per Pattern 9 / the standing false-positive list)
- decalogium (0604D) for decalogum — attested medieval form.
- Hierusalem throughout for Jerusalem — orthographic convention of the plate.
- Nocturnae … timores (0604D) — gender mismatch with no English exponent.
- (Matth. XI) on Matt. 10:28, (Matth. V) on Matt. 3:3, (Psal. CXXVI.) attached to Song 3:3 at 0602D — Migne's own citation numbering, resolved at index time, not here.

Agent stint: chunks 0019, 0020, 0021, 0022 (cols 0606D–0617B). To be merged with the other agents' crux files at assembly.
Printed readings carried literally (Pattern 7)
0606D — inoptabilior. Magna est quippe gloria aperti operis, sed longe inoptabilior aeternae retributionis, quae necdum videri potest. Rendered as printed, "but far more undesirable is that of the eternal recompense." The argument requires the opposite (the unseen reward is the greater glory), so the printed in- is almost certainly a plate defect for optabilior, or the sentence has lost a word. inoptabilior is a formable Latin word, so it is rendered as ordinary English under Pattern 7/12 rather than carried in italics; no [sic:].
0607A — videntibus for (probably) in dentibus. In capillis fragiliores, videntibus vero perfectiores quique sanctarumque Scripturarum expositores… The antithesis is between the lemma's hairs (4:1) and its teeth (4:2), which the sentence is glossing; videntibus leaves the clause without its counterpart to In capillis. Rendered literally, "but to those seeing, all the more perfect…". Conjecture: in dentibus. Real word, so no [sic:].
0607A–B — the myrrh parenthesis. Coccum color est sanguinis vitta coccinea (myrrha dicitur) cruorem designat beatorum martyrum. Two clauses run together with no punctuation between sanguinis and vitta, and the parenthesis (myrrha dicitur) has no antecedent — nothing in Song 4:3 mentions myrrh. Rendered as printed, with a semicolon supplied nowhere; the parenthesis is carried in English as "(it is called myrrh)". Possibly a stray gloss migrated from 4:6 (montem myrrhae).
0606D — designari hi ascenderunt. Possunt per capillos specialiter ipsi qui ex circumcisione crediderunt designari hi ascenderunt de monte Galaad. No connective between the two clauses (expected …designari, qui or a full stop). Rendered as two clauses joined by a semicolon; no word added or removed.
0607D — sacra eloquio for sacra eloquia. Quid per collum sanctae Ecclesiae, nisi sacra eloquio designantur? Gregory (Moralia) reads sacra eloquia; the printed eloquio agrees with nothing in the clause. Rendered by sense of the printed words, "the sacred utterances"; the case defect has no English exponent (Pattern 9).
0609B — induplicatae fidei. Migne's gloss on Eph. 5:27 (nec rugam "induplicatae fidei"). Rendered "of a doubled faith". induplicatus is unattested classically; the sense required — a fold, hence duplicity — is what a ruga is, so it is rendered rather than carried.
0611A — coufortat. cum divina gratia coufortat nos Christo compati. Non-word type for confortat. Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, marked [sic: coufortat] (Patterns 7, 12).
0611A — cassa for casia. Fistula, quae et cassa dicitur, arbor aromatica est. The tree meant is cassia (casia); cassa is a real Latin word ("empty"), and here functions as a name, so it is kept as the printed name in italics rather than translated.
0611A — qui seipsos decipiunt. Item cinnamomum, qui seipsos decipiunt, signat. Rendered as printed, "signifies those who deceive themselves" — which contradicts the following sentence, where the low, fragrant tree stands for humility and earns "great praise". Conjecture: despiciunt, "those who despise themselves". Rendered literally per Pattern 7a; no substitution made.
0611D — facit illam id diversis germinare virtutibus. id has no antecedent and displaces the expected in. The word is carried in the English ("makes her to bud it forth in divers virtues"); it is a real word, so no [sic:].
0613A — mortalitatis hujus vicus. quia plerumque mortalitatis hujus vicus, vel tenebrarum operibus obfuscantur. Nominative vicus ("village") cannot govern the ablative construction the clause requires. Rendered as printed, "by the village of this mortality". Conjecture: visco, "by the birdlime of this mortality" — the standard patristic image for what clings and darkens.
0613D — puram confusionem proferre. Aperire est verbum Dei praedicare, vel puram confusionem proferre. Rendered as printed, "or to bring forth pure confusion", which the context (opening the heart to Christ) contradicts. Conjecture: confessionem. Real word, so rendered rather than carried; no silent repair.
0613D — no terminal stop. …vel continentia fit, vel passiones fiunt ends the paragraph with no punctuation. Not supplied (Pattern 8).
0613B — Exspoliavi / Spoliavi. Song 5:3 is quoted twice within a column of itself, first as Exspoliavi me tunica mea (0613A), then as Spoliavi me tunica mea (0613B). Both are rendered as printed and distinguished in the English ("I have put off" / "I have stripped off"); the plate's own variance is not levelled.
0613B — Nunquid aequum est … me patiar. Nunquid aequum est rursum per eorum exempla male vivendo inquinari a pristinis me patiar malis? Two finite constructions (est … patiar) share one clause. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow ("Is it right that I should suffer myself again to be defiled by my former evils, by living ill after their examples?"); no word supplied or dropped.
0614D — full stop before quoniam. …manifestes. quoniam « perfecta charitas foras mittit timorem. » The lowercase quoniam after a full stop is preserved (Pattern 8); the English likewise reads "…make manifest. since «…»".
0616B — donum Ecclesiae, velut donum columnae. Crura … illi sunt qui donum Ecclesiae, velut donum columnae sustinent. donum stands twice where the sense wants domum ("the house of the Church") the first time and probably nothing the second; the parallel a few words later is qui fabricam Ecclesiae sustentant. Rendered as printed, "who uphold the gift of the Church, as it were the gift of the pillars." Not marked [d:]: the two occurrences are not a contiguous repeated run.
0615C — Labia, quia claritate coelestis regni promittunt. In the gloss on Labia illius lilia distillantia myrrham primam, the second sentence repeats Labia where the whiteness-argument requires Lilia. Rendered as printed ("Lips, because by their brightness they promise the heavenly kingdom"). Not marked [d:]: not a contiguous doubling — the intervening sentence lies between.
0615C — Areolae aromatum … designatur. Singular verb with a plural compound subject. No English exponent; no edit (Pattern 9).
Scripture divergences from the Vulgate
Every lemma and proof-text in these four chunks was collated word by word against the Vulgate before translation. Divergences found:
Marked with [var:] in the English:
- 0607D, Exod. XX — Migne: Non concupisces rem proximi tui. Vulg.: non concupisces domum proximi tui. The gloss it answers is Res alienas concupiscit, so the divergent noun is the word the argument turns on.
[var: Vulg. domum proximi tui…] - 0610D–0611A, Cant. IV, 14 — Migne: nardus cum croco. Vulg.: nardus et crocus. The gloss depends on the preposition: Item nardus cum croco conjungitur, cum per charitatem Christi mortem libenter suscipimus.
[var: Vulg. nardus et crocus…] - 0616B–C, Cant. V, 15 — Migne: Electus ut cedrus. Vulg.: electus ut cedri. The gloss reads a single tree (Sicut cedrus alias arbores … superat).
[var: Vulg. ut cedri…]
Divergences recorded but not marked (rendered as printed; sense unaffected, or the gloss does not turn on them):
- 0607C, Cant. IV, 4 — cum propugnaculis suis (Vulg. cum propugnaculis). The possessive is glossed as printed at 0608C (aedificata cum propugnaculis suis dicitur), so the English carries "its own bulwarks" throughout.
- 0608A, Levit. XIX — Non quaeras ultionem (Vulg. non quaeres): subjunctive for future indicative, same prohibitive force.
- 0608A, Matth. V — Qui viderit mulierem… (Vulg. omnis qui viderit): the quotation is shortened, not altered.
- 0608B, Luc. XIV — Qui non renuntiaverit … non potest esse meus discipulus (Vulg. qui non renuntiat … non potest meus esse discipulus).
- 0609A, Eph. V — Ut exhiberet sibi gloriosam Ecclesiam non habentem maculam … nec rugam (Vulg. ut exhiberet ipse sibi … maculam aut rugam). Migne's nec is required by the interpolated gloss and is rendered "nor".
- 0610D, Cant. IV, 13 — Cyprus cum nardo (Vulg. cypri cum nardo): nominative for genitive; the gloss treats it as a tree-name, which the printed case supports.
- 0611C–D, Cant. IV, 16 — et fluent aromata illius (Vulg. fluant): future indicative for subjunctive. Rendered "shall flow".
- 0611C, Joan. VII — Qui credit in me, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquae vivae — Vulg. interposes sicut dixit scriptura; omission only.
- 0612A–B, Cant. V, 1 — et bibi vinum meum and Comedite, amici, et bibite (Vulg. bibi vinum meum, comedite amici bibite): added connectives only.
- 0612D, Cant. V, 2 — cincinni capitis mei guttis noctium (Vulg. cincinni mei).
- 0613D, Cant. V, 5 — Manus meae distillaverunt myrrham (Vulg. stillaverunt).
- 0614A, Cant. V, 6 — Anima mea liquefacta est, ut dilectus locutus est (Vulg. ut locutus est); Quaesivi illum et non inveni (Vulg. quaesivi et non inveni illum).
- 0614B, Cant. V, 7 — percusserunt me et vulneraverunt me (Vulg. asyndeton).
- 0615A, Phil. III — Conversatio nostra in coelis est (Vulg. nostra autem conversatio in caelis est).
- 0615A, Joan. I, 14 — Verbum caro factum est (Vulg. et Verbum caro factum est).
- 0615C, 0616A, Cant. V, 13–14 — Labia illius and Venter illius (Vulg. labia eius, venter eius): illius/eius are equivalent and have one English exponent.
Cruces — Angelomus, Enarrationes in Cantica canticorum (PL 115), chunks 0023–0026
Agent stint covering cols 0617C–0628D (chunks 23, 24, 25, 26). A later merge step reconciles this with the other agents' crux files for this work.
Printed readings rendered literally (Pattern 7)
0618B — quia hanc nos timemus in terra quam ipse nolens tenere amisit in coelo. Rendered "because we fear this on earth which he himself, unwilling to hold it, lost in heaven." The argument requires tenemus ("we hold on earth the concord he lost in heaven") — the whole sentence is about the devil envying a concord we possess. The plate prints timemus. Rendered as printed; conjecture tenemus, near-certain.
0618A — quia quaelibet in nobis bona opera fuerint, si charitas desit? An incomplete sentence closed with a question mark. Rendered as printed and with the mark preserved (Pattern 8): "for whatever good works there shall have been in us, if charity be wanting?" Something on the order of quid prosunt has dropped out; not supplied.
0618C — Idcirco etenim in coelum ascendi, ut semper tibi localis appaream. Rendered "For this cause indeed I ascended into heaven, that I might always appear to thee as bound to a place." The context requires the opposite (Christ ascends so as not to be locally circumscribed for the seeker). No negation is printed, so none is supplied — Pattern 7a. Conjecture: ne … localis appaream.
0618D — Et.haec magna sunt valde quae videntur in ea Et.haec is a run-together with an intruded full stop and is not a word; carried into the English untranslated in italics under Patterns 10 and 12: [sic: Et.haec]. Intended reading plainly Et haec.
0619C — Ait namque.: « Quae est ista … » namque.: prints a full stop immediately followed by a colon. Both marks preserved (Pattern 8): "For she says.: « … »". Same class as Et.haec above and Id est. at 0627A; three instances of a stray full stop in this stint suggests a transcription artifact rather than three independent compositor slips, but nothing in our files proves it, so all three stand as printed.
0627A — Id est. argentei his qui custodiunt fructus ejus Stray full stop after Id est preserved: "That is. the pieces of silver to those who keep the fruits thereof."
0620C — Qui ob hoc qui Christi sanguine decoratur, coccinea in Latino sonat Doubled relative (Qui … qui) with no antecedent that construes, and a masculine relative for the feminine Sunamitis/coccinea. Rendered as literally as the words allow: "Which for this cause, which is adorned with the blood of Christ, sounds in the Latin scarlet." No emendation attempted. (The etymology Sunamitis = coccinea is the point of the gloss, so the interpretation-word is rendered in English italics, on the same footing as cingulum moeroris and sanguinem bibens below.)
0621B — Hi enim tanquam hinnuli in Christo renascuntur atque ex his duobus Testamentis lac sapientiae sugentes. Anacoluthon: the participle sugentes has no finite verb. Rendered as printed: "For these are born again in Christ as fawns, and sucking from these two Testaments the milk of wisdom." Nothing supplied.
0621A — in ventri similitudinem deputantur — ventri for ventris; no English exponent for the case error (Pattern 9). Rendered "in the likeness of the belly." No edit, no marker; flagged so a later sweep does not churn it.
0623A — si Ecclesia flores fide et parturiat Construes as printed if flores is taken as the accusative object of parturiat and et as adverbial: "if the Church also brings forth flowers by faith." Rendered so; no emendation needed. Noted because the run reads at first sight like a defect for floreat.
0623B — His enim singulis sponsa dilecti sui poenitentiam quaerit. Rendered "For in each one of these the bride seeks the penitence of her beloved." poenitentiam of the beloved is theologically impossible in context; the likely reading is praesentiam. Rendered as printed, per Pattern 7.
0623C — sanctorum virtutibus comparantur, quae more medicorum ad salutem animarum a vitiorum infirmitatibus sanentur, ostenduntur Two finite verbs with no connective; rendered as closely as the words allow: "are compared to the virtues of the saints, which, after the manner of physicians, are shown to be healed from the infirmities of the vices unto the health of souls." Probably sanentur stands for an infinitive (sanari) governed by ostenduntur.
0623C — hanc poetae ἀνθροπόμορφον appellant Greek carried verbatim, including the plate's spelling: ἀνθροπόμορφον for ἀνθρωπόμορφον. Not marked [sic: …] — the run is reproduced in the Greek, so the reader sees the form itself.
0624D — quomodo Ecclesia de deserto gentilitatis in sponsis subito amplexus ascendisset — in sponsis … amplexus does not agree (sponsi expected). Rendered "into the embraces of the bridegroom"; the plural of sponsis has no defensible English rendering that keeps the phrase intelligible. Conjecture sponsi.
0624D — Suscitavi te sub arbore malo. Respondit sponsa pro Synagoga. Ipse sponsus … liberavi te — a nominative Ipse sponsus with a first-person verb, and the speaker labelled sponsa while the words are the bridegroom's. Rendered as printed: "The bride answered on behalf of the Synagogue. I, the bridegroom himself, … freed thee." Not repaired.
0626C — qui est fructus violae, cuncta quae mundis reliquit Rendered "which is the fruit of the violet, all the things which he left to the worlds." violae is almost certainly vineae (the whole passage is about the vineyard and its fruit), and mundis almost certainly mundi. Both rendered as printed.
0627D, 0628A — calcetenus (twice). A rare adverb, "as far as the heel"; rendered literally "down to the very heel" in both places rather than smoothed to "to the end." Attested word, so no [sic: …] (Pattern 9).
0628A — angelica salpix / per oroma somnii Two Graecisms (σάλπιγξ, ὅραμα) latinized by the author. Both have clean English exponents and are rendered "trumpet" and "vision"; no italic Latin, since the italic signal is reserved for terms with no equivalent. Logged so the Graecisms are not lost to a reader of the English alone.
Scripture divergences from the received text (Pattern 14)
Every lemma and proof-text in these four chunks was read word by word against the Vulgate. Those that diverge materially carry a [var: …] in the English; the rest are listed below the rule as immaterial.

Notes on individual entries.
- 0618D (oculis/occultis) is the strongest case in the stint and the pure Pattern 7a″ trap: the gloss immediately following turns on things not seen and reserved for the future (multo majora quae non videntur), which is the Vulgate's occultis, not the printed oculis. The English renders the printed oculis ("besides thy eyes") and the marker carries the received reading.
- 0619B (ascendit/progreditur): Migne's own gloss two lines later reads Progreditur Ecclesia quasi aurora — the Vulgate verb — while both quotations of the lemma print ascendit. Rendered as printed in both places; the gloss keeps "goes forward."
- 0620B / 0620C (Sunamitis): the exposition depends on the divergent form — the commentary identifies her with the Shunammite of the book of Kings and etymologizes her as coccinea. The English keeps Sunamitis (as "Sunamitess") throughout rather than the Vulgate's Sulamitis or an English "Shulamite"; conforming the name would have destroyed the gloss.
- 0627B (monte/montes): the lemma prints the singular, but the re-quotation inside the same gloss prints supra montes aromatum, and the exposition that follows is entirely plural (Montes aromatum, angeli intelliguntur). Both rendered as printed — singular in the lemma, plural in the gloss.
- 0628B (Hab. 3:3): not a defect but an Old Latin / LXX reading, the form Gregory the Great quotes and the one the whole "mountain" peroration is built on (condensus per sententias, umbrosus per allegorias). No
[n: …]accompanies it in the plate.
Divergences judged immaterial — rendered as printed, not marked. Cant. 6:1 aromatum for Vulg. aromatis; 6:10 si floruissent vineae for si floruisset vinea; 7:2 sicut crater tornatilis (Vulg. has no sicut); 7:6 Quam pulchra es et decora (Vulg. repeats quam); 7:8 apprehendam without et; 7:8 sicut odor malorum (Vulg. sicut malorum); 7:12 Ibi tibi dabo for ibi dabo tibi; 8:1 deosculer without te; 8:2 ducam te (Vulg. ducam); 8:6 et sicut signaculum (Vulg. ut signaculum); 8:7 despicient for despiciet; 8:9 super eam for super eum; 8:13 auscultant te (Vulg. auscultant); Gal. 5:24 Qui enim sunt Christi for Qui autem; 1 Cor. 13:3 charitatem autem non habeam for non habuero; Ps. 56:12 super omnem terram for in omnem terram; Eph. 4:8 with Christus added; Heb. 12:20 Quia si bestia for Et si bestia; Matt. 25:21 Euge, serve bone, fidelis (Vulg. bone et fidelis) and supra multa for super multa; Josh. 1:8 at 0628A, a free citation (Liber legis non recedat de ore tuo, meditare in eo die ac nocte) against Vulg. Non recedat volumen legis hujus ab ore tuo, sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus; John 17:24 at 0626D, compressed to Volo, Pater, ut ubi ego sum et illi sint mecum; and 1 Cor. 13:12 at 0624B, paraphrased inside guillemets as ut jam non in aenigmate per specula, sed facie ad faciem videat.
Migne's own citation labels left untouched (never corrected in the text, per the standing rule): [n: (I Cor. XI)] at 0625C points to 1 Cor. 13:3; [n: (Joan. I)] at 0626D points to John 17:24; [n: (Marc. XVI)] at 0627C is attached to a sentence introduced Hinc Lucas ait; [n: (Deut. XXXII)] at 0628C points to Deut. 33:2.
