Adnotatiunculae in Threnos

Agent stint: chunks 0000–0004 (cols 0255D–0273D). Pattern references are to translation-style.md.

Carried type (Pattern 7 / 10, marked [sic: …] per Pattern 12)

0257C — dilelectionem (chunk 0000). Migne prints quia longe erant per fidem et dilelectionem. Non-word; conjecture dilectionem ("love"), near certain — Hugh's antithesis is bodily nearness vs. distance "by faith and love." Carried untranslated in italics.

0263D — incarnis (chunk 0002). Migne prints Quod si incarnis delectationem resolutus fuerit. Run-together type (Pattern 10) for in carnis; the accusative delectationem requires the preposition, which is glued to carnis. Carried whole. Consequence: the English sentence lacks the preposition and the genitive "of the flesh," because both are inside the carried run — this is the intended cost of Pattern 10, not an omission.

0264B — concucupiscentia (chunk 0002). quando cor ejus concucupiscentia per abrupta vitiorum distrahit. Non-word; conjecture concupiscentia, certain (the word is used correctly a dozen times elsewhere in this stint). Carried.

0266B — fiammae (chunk 0002), inside the Lam. 2:3 lemma Et succendit in Jacob quasi ignem fiammae devorantis in gyro. Long-s/f substitution for flammae. Sits inside an already-italic lemma, so per Pattern 10 it takes no second italic marker: printed [sic: fiammae] without asterisks.

0270C — texitne (chunk 0003). Migne prints Quomodo obtexit, texitne superiora, hoc est coelestia videre posset. The sentence does not construe as printed. Conjecture: texit ne superiora, hoc est coelestia, videre posset — "he covered, that it might not be able to see the higher things, that is, the heavenly." The garbled run texitne is carried inside a [sic:] marker; the clause it governs is translated, and translated negatively, because ne with the subjunctive posset is a negative purpose clause.

CORRECTED 2026-07-30 (blind polarity read, unit 11058-u1). Until now the English read "…[sic: texitne] the higher things, that is, the heavenly, it might be able to see" — an affirmative purpose clause — and this entry defended it on the ground that "the negative is visibly present in the carried Latin." That defence does not hold. Only the two letters ne sit inside the marker; everything they govern was translated, and translated affirmatively, so what the reader met was the affirmative claim. The page therefore said that the covering was so that the soul might see the heavenly things — the opposite of Hugh's argument in the immediately preceding clause (lumen rationis per peccatum in homine obscuratum est, non ablatum) and of the frame (in tenebris ignorantiae reliquit). This is Pattern 7a's own case, in its subtlest form: a crux that describes a repair does not make the repair honest, and a logged column can look handled while the defect is live. Supplying the negative here is not a silent emendation — it is rendering the printed ne that was being dropped.

Printed readings rendered literally (Pattern 7 — no marker, English is ours)

0260C (chunk 0001) — spernuntur for spernunt. dum in pressuris constitutam conspiciunt, persequuntur et spernuntur? The passive breaks the sentence: the powerful of this world are the subject of persequuntur, so the second verb should be active spernunt ("and spurn her"). Rendered as printed, "persecute her and are despised." Real word, so no [sic:] per Pattern 12.

0261C (chunk 0001) — dicetur for dicitur. illi de quibus dicetur in Evangelio — future where the present is expected of a scriptural citation. Rendered "of whom it shall be said in the Gospel."

0262C (chunk 0001) — tribulatione for tribulationem. si forte foris tribulatione sustinet leaves sustinet without an object. Rendered "if perchance it endures without in tribulation."

0262D (chunk 0001) — anacoluthon at the chunk's last sentence. Et attende, quae sint angustiae eorum, qui a Deo recedunt nunquam securi sunt, semper trepidant. The indirect question is abandoned mid-sentence for a direct statement. Rendered as printed, with a colon marking the break: "consider what are the straits of those who depart from God: they are never secure…" No punctuation was added or removed; the colon replaces the printed comma at the identical position. Flagged because it is the only place in this stint where the English clause boundary is looser than the Latin's.

0265D (chunk 0002) — Quid for Quia. Quid omnia speciosa Jacob destruxit, munitiones virginis Juda dejecit. The context is explanatory, not interrogative, and the sentence closes with a full stop, so Quia is the probable reading. Rendered literally, "What: he hath destroyed…". Note that Migne's own punctuation (period, not question mark) is preserved with it.

0266B (chunk 0002) — obsidente for obsistente. nullo sibi obsidente, universa vastabant — "with none besieging them," where "with none resisting them" is required by the sense. The evidence is internal and unusually clean: at 0269A (chunk 0003) Migne prints the same formula correctly, nullo sibi obsistente. Rendered as printed at 0266B; real word, so no marker.

0267D (chunk 0003) — effectu for affectu. quam quasi filiam paterno effectu dilexerat. Migne prints paterno affectu correctly at 0265B in the parallel passage. Rendered "with a father's effect."

0269B (chunk 0003) — pariter expounded but not printed in the lemma. Hugh's comment Ita ambigue positum est pariter turns on the placement of pariter, but the lemma as Migne prints it — Luxitque antemurale, et murus dissipatus est — does not contain the word. Rendered literally ("So ambiguously is it placed, alike…") rather than reconstructing the fuller lemma; the exposition that follows (antemurale pariter cum muro) is where the word surfaces. No emendation made to the lemma.

0270C (chunk 0003) — projecit de coelo terram inclytam Israel diverges from the Vulgate's proiecit de caelo in terram inclitam Israel. The printed text drops in, which converts terram inclytam Israel from a destination into the direct object — and Hugh's whole gloss depends on that reading (quasi de coelo, id est de incorruptione ad corruptionem terram Israel projecit, and the identification of terra Israel with the body of man). Rendered as printed and as Hugh reads it: "he hath cast down from heaven the glorious land of Israel." Recorded here rather than marked, since this stint used only the marker set named in its brief.

Punctuation preserved (Pattern 8)

• 0265B (chunk 0002) — …et castella et vici, filiae, Incipit ergo…: comma where the sentence ends, followed by a capital. Both preserved.
• 0267A (chunk 0003) — Dominus comminatur, dicens. followed by the quotation: full stop where a colon belongs. Preserved.
• 0269B (chunk 0003) — id est poenam. qua peccatores ligaret: full stop mid-clause, followed by lowercase. Preserved.
• 0271B, 0273B (chunk 0004) — in furore suo, Jacob interpretatur… (comma for full stop) and Quod vero supradixit. Avertit dexteram suam… (full stop mid-sentence). Both preserved.
• 0260B (chunk 0001) — Qui addit scientiam, addit dolorem [laborem] with no terminal stop before the next sentence. Preserved, including the absence of the stop. [laborem] is Migne's own bracketed variant and is left untranslated, on the same footing as [ al., …].
• 0259D (chunk 0000) — quod amatum [amicum] est flentibus: [amicum] is again Migne's bracketed variant, left untranslated.

Conventions decided in this stint (for the peer agents on 0005–0018)

1. The ## head reads "Little Notes on Lamentations", and "Little Notes on Lamentations (cont.)" wherever the Latin prints (cont.). The diminutive adnotatiunculae is carried ("little notes"), and Threni is Englished to "Lamentations" per the work-wide rule.
2. No sense labels occur in chunks 0000–0004. Hugh introduces the senses in running prose (Secundum allegoriae sensum, Secundum intellectum moralem, Secundum moralem sensum, Mystice), never as a printed abbreviated label. These are translated as prose. The MORAL. / ALLEGORICAL. adjective convention therefore has nothing to attach to yet; it applies only where Migne actually prints a label.
3. Lexical choices held constant across the stint, because Hugh argues from the distinctions: inimicus = "enemy" and hostis = "foe" (he contrasts them explicitly at 0266C–D); dissipare = "lay waste" throughout (tent, walls, strongholds, wall of the daughter of Sion) since he compares the uses; praecipitare = "cast down headlong" against projicere "cast away," which is the point of his gloss at 0265C; speciosa = "the beautiful things," munitiones = "strongholds," moenia = "walls," antemurale = "outwork."
4. Hic distingue (0265B–C, three times) is the grammarian's instruction to punctuate. Rendered "Here distinguish," "Here distinguish again," "Here once more distinguish."
5. No guillemets occur anywhere in chunks 0000–0004. Migne marks Hugh's lemmata with italics only. Nothing was supplied; per Pattern 6 the straight quote was not needed either, since the lemmata are already set off.

Clean chunks

0004 carries no crux of its own beyond the two preserved punctuation marks listed above: no carried type, no broken construction, one note, twelve column anchors, all continuous.

1. Entries are ordered by column.

Conventions decided in this stint

• Head. ## Adnotatiunculae in Threnos (cont.) rendered ## Little Notes on Lamentations (cont.), matching the wording the peer agents landed in 0000–0003 and 0015–0018. (cont.) left literal.
• Sense labels. Rendered as adjectives, uniformly: MORAL. (Migne prints MORALIS.), LITERAL. (Migne prints LITTERAL.), ALLEGORICAL. (Migne prints ALLEG., and at 0286D ALLEG.: with a following colon — the colon is kept). Identical to the 0015–0018 stint's ruling.
• Quotation marks. Migne prints no guillemets in any of these five chunks. None supplied; none of Hugh's very frequent Ac si diceret: paraphrases has been quoted. No straight quotes were needed either.
• Lemma wording. Hugh's Lamentations lemma is translated from Migne's page at every recurrence. Fixed renderings kept consistent across the stint: moenia = "ramparts", munitiones = "fortifications", tentorium = "tent", tabernaculum = "tabernacle", antemurale = "bulwark", funiculus = "line", vectes = "bars", senes = "the ancients", oppidum = "town".

Chunk 0005 (0274A–0277A)

• 0274C — REAL WORD, WRONG: primae adjectioni. et post haec omnia peccantem et praevaricantem abjecit, et ita primae adjectioni secundam adnumerans. The preceding verb is abjecit, and the two things counted are two castings-off (of Adam, then of the Jews); sense requires abjectioni. adjectio ("addition") is a real Latin word, so it is rendered as ordinary English — "reckoning a second to the first adjection" — with no [sic: …] marker (Pattern 12). The conjecture lives here.
• 0274C — REAL WORD, WRONG: a spe permissionis. et a spe permissionis et haereditatis suae alienos. Sense requires promissionis ("of his promise"), which is what an inheritance is hoped from. Rendered as printed, "from the hope of his permission and of his inheritance." Real word, no marker.
• 0275B — Isa. 1:8 is quoted without italics and without an [n: …] note, unlike the four scripture citations around it, which carry both. Migne's typography reproduced as printed; recorded so the index's low citation count for this column is not read as an omission on our side.
• 0275D — Quasi enim oblitum dicit. The masculine accusative has no expressed noun; the subject of the whole passage is Deus, so it is rendered "he calls him as it were forgetful." No emendation.
• 0276A — the Isaias citation at 0275D–0276A conflates Isa. 1:11 (Sanguinem hircorum… nolui) with 1:13 (incensum abominatio est mihi) and 1:12 (quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris) in one run under a single [n: (Isa. I.)]. Rendered as one continuous quotation, as printed. Not marked [var: …]: the wording of each limb agrees with the Vulgate; only the stitching is Migne's.

Chunk 0006 (0277B–0280B)

• 0278D — CARRIED TYPE [sic: autemurale], beside a real word that is wrong. Migne prints suxitque autemurale, et murus dissipatus est. Both words are defective against Lam. 2:8 Luxitque antemurale, which Migne himself prints correctly twice nearby (0279A Luxit antemurale; 0280B Luxitque antemurale). The two halves are treated differently, per Pattern 12's boundary:
• suxitque is a real word (perfect of sugo, "sucked") and is therefore rendered as ordinary English — "and it sucked" — with no marker. The English clause is absurd because the plate is.
• autemurale is a non-word and is carried untranslated in italics inside [sic: …]. Conjecture: Luxitque antemurale, "and the bulwark mourned."
• 0279A — MISSING PUNCTUATION. quasi antemurale in civitate Dei foris stant dicatur ergo: Luxit antemurale… No mark between stant and dicatur, so two finite verbs collide. None supplied (Pattern 8); the English reads "…they stand without as it were a bulwark in the city of God let it therefore be said:".
• 0279B–C — the Luke 19:41–43 quotation is abridged past construing: Quia si cognovisses, et tu, quia venient dies in te… has a protasis (si cognovisses) with no apodosis, the Vulgate's et quidem in hac die tua, quae ad pacem tibi having dropped out. Rendered as printed, apodosis and all missing. Not marked [var: …]: this is an abridgement of the quotation, not a divergent reading, and Pattern 14 was introduced for the latter.
• 0279C — Quid namque per murum filiae Sion, nisi virtutes animae accipimus: A question closed with a colon. Preserved (Pattern 8).
• 0279D, 0280A — Quod etiam evidentius explanatur, cum dicitur. and Unde recte subinfertur, cum dicitur. Full stops where a colon introduces the lemma. Preserved. The same habit recurs at 0290A in chunk 0009.
• 0278D — Isa. 9:3 printed Multiplicasti gentem, non magnificasti laetitiam (Vulg. et non magnificasti). The negation is present and is carried; only the connective is missing. Sense unaffected, so no [var: …].

Chunk 0007 (0280C–0283D)

• 0281A — CARRIED TYPE [sic: delixae]. Portae vero, quae contritis vectibus in terra delixae sunt. Non-word for defixae, which Migne prints correctly five times in the same chunk (0280C, 0280D, 0281B ×2, 0282A). Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, inside [sic: …]; the English clause therefore has no participle, which is the plate's condition.
• 0281A — Ezech. 13:5 printed Non ascendisti in die Domini ex adverso, ut poneretis vos murum pro domo Domini. Singular verb then plural verb in one sentence, and Domini for the Vulgate's Israel (Vulg.: Non ascendistis ex adverso, neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israel). All rendered as printed. Not marked [var: …]: nothing in Hugh's gloss turns on the divergence.
• 0282D — REAL WORD, WRONG: Perversae aut animae. The context requires autem ("but to the perverse soul…"); aut is a real word and is rendered as printed, "Or to the perverse soul." No marker.
• 0283B — MISSING PUNCTUATION. hominum miseriam et dolorem, plangit haec igitur, quae sequuntur, non incongrue ad praesentem Ecclesiam referri possunt. No mark between plangit and haec igitur, so the sentence runs two clauses together. None supplied; the English reads "…he laments the misery and grief of men these things therefore, which follow, may not unfittingly be referred to the present Church."
• 0283C–D — NUMBER MISMATCH: erumpent. Sed quia plerosque propheta… praevidit, qui… macularent, in vocem doloris erumpent, sic ait. A plural future indicative where the singular subject (propheta) and the syntax want a participle (erumpens) or erumpit. Rendered as printed, "they will burst forth into a voice of grief, thus he says." Real word, no marker.

Chunk 0008 (0284A–0287B)

• 0284D — SPLIT TYPE [sic: per tingere]. per praesentes tribulationes ad futuram gloriam per tingere. A word-division defect for pertingere ("to reach unto"); the whole broken run is carried per Pattern 10, in italics inside [sic: …], at its printed position (clause-final). The English limb therefore has no verb, matching the plate.
• 0285A — Ps. 1:5 printed Ideo non resurgunt impii in judicio (Vulg. resurgent). Present for future; rendered "rise not again." The negation is present and carried. Sense unaffected, no [var: …].
• 0285B — DOES NOT CONSTRUE. quia pravam delectationem et confusionem mentis aspera peccatrici conscientiae de reatu sui sceleris compunctio generatur. Two accusatives stand with no verb to govern them (generatur is passive and already has its subject, compunctio). Something on the order of post pravam delectationem is wanted. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow, with the accusatives left dangling: "because the depraved delight and the confusion of the mind a harsh compunction out of the guilt of its own crime is generated to the sinning conscience." No emendation, no marker (nothing here is a non-word).
• 0285D — CARRIED TYPE [sic: jecut]. Sicut ergo jecut, vel hepar, suo calore crudum cibum… decoquit. Non-word for jecur, which Migne prints correctly three times within twenty lines (0285C, 0285D, 0286A). Carried in italics inside [sic: …]; the appositive hepar is a real Latin word for the same organ and is rendered "liver," so the English reads "the jecut, or liver."
• 0285C — REAL WORD, WRONG: quantum fiendi sint. quantum fiendi sint aliena suspiria indicant. Sense requires flendi ("how much they are to be wept for"); the whole sentence is about lamenting the lost. fiendi (gerundive of fio) is a real form, so it is rendered as ordinary English — "how much they are to be made" — and takes no marker (Pattern 12). The conjecture lives here. This is the entry most likely to look like our error rather than Migne's.
• 0286A — REAL WORD, WRONG: offunditur. Jecur in terram offunditur, in a paragraph that prints effusum / effunditur / effusionem on either side of it. offundo ("to overspread, pour over") is a real word and is rendered literally, "The liver is overspread upon the earth." No marker.
• 0285D — the note [n: (I Cor. XL)] attaches to Quis infirmatur, et ego non infirmor?, which is 2 Cor. 11:29; I Corinthians has no chapter XL. Migne's citation reproduced verbatim per the marker rule; recorded only so the index's refDisplay/refKey split is not mistaken for our error.
• 0286C — Per lactentem, pravos doctores. The suckling is glossed as "depraved teachers" here, but as virtus mentis ("the virtue of the mind") at 0287C in chunk 0009, and the whole surrounding argument is about the untaught people. Rendered as printed at both places, unharmonized.
• 0287A — Quid per effusionem, jecoris, nisi afflictio carnis signatur? A comma between the noun and its dependent genitive. Preserved (Pattern 8); the English reads "What is signified by the pouring out, of the liver, but…".
• 0287B — DOES NOT CONSTRUE. Quis parvulus, inquit, et lactens. The preceding sentence has just quoted the lemma as Cum deficeret, inquit, parvulus, et lactens, so Quis is unaccounted for; it may be an interrogative standing alone (Quis? parvulus, inquit, et lactens — "Who? 'a little one,' he says, 'and a suckling'"), but supplying the question mark would be supplying punctuation the plate does not print. Rendered as closely as the printed words allow: "Who a little one, he says, and a suckling." Real words throughout, so no marker.
• 0286B — anchor sequence 0286A → 0286B → 0286C is continuous; noted here only because 0285C–D carries an unusual density of defects and a later reader may suspect a lost line. No text is broken across any anchor in this chunk.

Chunk 0009 (0287C–0290C)

• 0288B — ANCHOR SET TIGHT. Migne prints [0288B]Omnia cooperantur ad malum with no space after the column mark. Reproduced exactly — anchor and word run together in the English too.
• 0288D — INCOMPLETE DISJUNCTION. qui aut plus debito exigunt; minus, vel nihil, debito impendunt. The aut has no answering limb, the second half of the antithesis being introduced by a bare semicolon. Rendered as printed — "who either exact more than is due; bestow less than is due, or nothing" — with the semicolon kept.
• 0289B — NUMBER MISMATCH: isti. Vide quomodo isti hordeum legis abjicit; et non nisi triticum… edere quaerit. The subject is Paul, and both verbs are singular, so sense wants iste. Rendered by the verbs, "See in what manner this man casts away…". Real word, no marker.
• 0289D — CARRIED TYPE [sic: hibere]. vinum, et non aquam hibere debemus. Non-word for bibere. Carried in italics inside [sic: …]; the English clause therefore has no infinitive — "we ought to hibere wine and not water" — which is the plate's condition. Both negations (non, and ne… coquamus in the next sentence) are carried.
• 0290A — Unde recte subinfertur, cum dicitur. Full stop before the lemma where a colon is expected, as at 0279D and 0280A above. Preserved.
• 0290C — MISPLACED PUNCTUATION. Quasi morientes; namque filios matres in sinu tenent, quando… The semicolon detaches Quasi morientes into a fragment, and namque is postponed to second position in a way the sense does not want. Preserved as printed: "As it were dying; for mothers hold their sons in the bosom, when…".
• 0290B → 0290C is the chunk's last anchor pair and is continuous; the chunk ends mid-argument at 0290C, which is our chunk boundary, not a defect.

Polarity read, 2026-07-29 — ONE NEW SITE (Migne's)

• @0275D legali for regali — NEW, found on a blind read; not previously logged. Printed: His duabus personis regebatur populus ille, legali scilicet et sacerdotali. Rendered literally as "namely the legal and the priestly," which is correct under Pattern 7 — no change to the text. But the pair is wrong by one letter: the lemma being glossed is regem et sacerdotem, and the very next sentence names them, Honor ad regem, devotio pertinet ad sacerdotem. The moral sense repeats the pair (Anima nostra et rex debet esse et sacerdos). A persona legalis appears nowhere in the exposition. Conjecture: regali scilicet et sacerdotali. Confidence medium (the conjecture is near-certain; the classification as plate rather than transcription cannot be settled from our files — see CLAUDE.md rule 6/§sources). This is the only site in chunks 0005–0009 that changes who the sentence is about, and the blind reader found it in a file that otherwise catalogues single-letter real-word errors thoroughly — so it reads as a genuine miss by the translation pass, which is exactly what the blind read exists to catch.
• Otherwise: chunks 0005–0009 read clean on both sides, and zero silent repairs of any of the five mechanisms. Where the plate is defective the English consistently carries it (offunditur, fiendi, aut, permissionis, the unconstruable 0285B clause left unconstruable) rather than rescuing it. Sixteen candidates were examined and rejected; every one was already logged in this file, and the rejections agree with its dispositions. Detail: data/sweeps/polarity-11058-11553/11058-u2.json.

Hugh of St Victor, PL 175. Agent stint covering chunks 0010, 0011, 0012, 0013,

1. Entries are ordered by column.

Conventions decided in this stint

• Head. ## Adnotatiunculae in Threnos (cont.) is rendered ## Little Notes on Lamentations (cont.), matching the wording the peer agents landed in 0000–0009 and 0015–0018. (cont.) left literal.
• Sense labels. Rendered as adjectives, uniformly: MORAL., LITERAL., ALLEGORICAL. Migne prints MORAL., LITTERAL., LITTER. (0307C), ALLEG. Normalized per Pattern 9 (section labels normalize in English; the misprint stays visible in the facing Latin column). No label invented where the plate prints none — the second Cui comparabo te gloss at 0292C has no label and is left unlabelled.
• Quotation marks. Migne prints no guillemets in these five chunks; none supplied. Hugh's constant Ac si diceret: / Quasi diceretur: paraphrases and his re-quoted lemmata are left unquoted, matching the plate. No straight quotes were needed either.
• assumptio / ejectio. The Lam. 2:14 lemma assumptiones falsas et ejectiones is rendered "takings-up" and "castings-out" throughout, because Hugh's whole gloss at 0293D–0294A turns on assumptio being a burden taken up (ad similitudinem oneris, quod assumptum portantem gravat) and on Symmachus and Theodotion having used the word where Jerome wrote onus. Douay's "revelations / banishments" would have destroyed the argument. At 0294A the cited Greek-translator word assumptio is itself left in Latin italics, since it is being quoted as a word.
• Lemma wording translated from Migne's page at every recurrence; no conventional English Lamentations consulted.

Chunk 0010

• 0291D — Quod est aperte dicere. Mala tua… and, a few lines later, Quod est dicere. Alia mala… Migne closes both with a full stop where a colon is expected before the quoted sense. Preserved (Pattern 8): "Which is openly to say. Thy evils surpass…"
• 0291D — Quemadmodum mare super omnes, alias aquas et mole et amaritudine excellens est. Migne prints a comma inside the noun phrase, after omnes. English word order does not reproduce the phrase, so the comma is not carried: rendered "Just as the sea excels all other waters both in bulk and in bitterness." The only punctuation departure in this stint; logged per instruction.
• 0292D — Cui bene dicitur. Magna velut mare contritio tua. Again a full stop where a colon introduces the lemma. Preserved.
• 0293C — et tamen credere non timuisti merito punitur insipientia tua. No punctuation between timuisti and merito; none supplied. The column anchor falls between them in the plate, and the English keeps the same join.
• 0294A — ubi beatus Hieronymus transtulit onus Babylonis, sive Tyri, sive Damasci, etc. Simmachus et Theodotion assumptio interpretati sunt. Migne's etc. is followed by a full stop and a new sentence with no connective; rendered exactly so. Also note Simmachus for Symmachus — an attested spelling of the name, not a defect (Pattern 9); rendered "Symmachus."

Chunk 0011

• 0294D — Qui sunt prophetae peccatricis animae, qui falsa et stulta eis vident. Plural eis against singular animae. Rendered with the plural visible, "who see false and foolish things for them." Real word, no marker; the number mismatch is the plate's.
• 0295A — the note [n: (Luc. X)] attaches to Filii hujus saeculi prudentiores sunt filiis lucis in generatione sua, which is Luke 16:8. Reproduced verbatim per the marker rule; recorded here only so the index's refDisplay/refKey split is not mistaken for our error.
• 0295D–0296A — CARRIED TYPE [sic: divilias]. ut ab amantibus divilias omnia virtutum merita tollat. Non-word for divitias, which Migne prints correctly twice in the immediately preceding lines (Possidentibus divitias, ad quaerendas divitias). Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, inside [sic: …]; the English phrase therefore reads "from those who love divilias."
• 0296C — quando vero etiam ad irrationabiles actus cupiditate victam impellebant, non solum falsa et stulta viderunt. The correlative sed etiam limb is absent, so the sentence as printed says the prophets saw "not only false and foolish things" and stops. Compare the parallel a line earlier (falsa viderunt), which expects a climax here. Rendered exactly as printed, non carried, nothing supplied (Pattern 7a). Conjecture: a dropped clause, or non solum for non solum falsa, sed etiam stulta.
• 0296D — MISSING TERMINAL STOP. …ostenduntur et aliunde venire et aliorsum tendere Per hoc enim quod aliunde veniunt… No point between tendere and Per. None supplied (Pattern 8): the English reads "…and to tend elsewhere For by this, that they come from elsewhere…"
• 0297A — CARRIED TYPE [sic: lespiciunt]. quod isti quasi extranei dejectam lespiciunt. Non-word for despiciunt ("look down on"), which the answering limb confirms (illi vero … non solum despectum, sed odium … ostendunt). Carried in italics inside [sic: …]; the English clause is therefore left without its verb, which is the plate's condition.

Chunk 0012

• 0299B — REAL WORDS, WRONG DIVISION: per gentes. et per gentes pro his, quos adhuc carnalis affectus in hoc mundo obligat, mugitus compassionis edunt? Sense and the sentence's own earlier phrase (vaccae … pergentes, et mugientes, twice in this paragraph) require pergentes — "going on, they utter lowings of compassion." But per gentes is two real Latin words and construes ("through the nations"), so under the Pattern 12 boundary it is rendered as ordinary English and takes no [sic: …] marker. Conjecture recorded here: pergentes.
• 0299B — the same sentence, a statement running from Vaccae igitur … vadunt, quando fideles … edunt, is closed with a question mark. Preserved (Pattern 8); the following relative clause (qui nec propter compassionem…) resumes after it in lower case, exactly as printed.
• 0300B — Ore sibilavit, quando Corinthios post poenitentiam consolans: Scripsi vobis… The participle consolans has no finite verb; the sentence is an anacoluthon. Rendered as printed, "when consoling the Corinthians after their penitence:".
• 0300C — Tanto graviorem electis quibuslibet de vestri perditione luctum facitis. Rendered "You make for any of the elect a grief… the heavier"; quibuslibet kept in its indefinite force rather than smoothed to "all the elect."
• 0300D — nisi quia dum patitur unum membrum omnia membra compatiuntur: a colon closes the sentence, and the next clause (propter quod valde pertimescere debent…) runs on from it. Preserved.

Chunk 0013

• 0301A — the column anchor is set flush against the first word, [0301A]Plauserunt, with no space. Mirrored exactly in the English ([0301A]They have clapped), as also at 0302B and 0308A.
• 0301A–B — quantumque prius ad perpetrandum iniquitatem per contemptum fuisti temeraria, tamen nunc in ipsa iniquitate tua per desperationem es obdurata. The correlative of quantum should be tanto; Migne prints tamen. Rendered with both visible ("and as rash as thou wast formerly…, yet now art thou hardened…"). Real words, no marker.
• 0301D — Quanto plures de ejus profectu gaudere debuerant, tanto plures nunc ejus ruina et desolatio contristat. Nominative ruina et desolatio with singular contristat governing accusative plures: rendered "the more are there now whom her ruin and desolation saddens," keeping the singular verb.
• 0301D — CASE, RENDERED AS PRINTED: os suum / oris tui. The lemma at 0301D prints Aperuerunt super te os suum, omnes inimici tui, and the gloss two lines later prints Apertio oris tui crudelitatem et subsannationem designat. As printed the gloss makes the opened mouth thy mouth, not the enemies' — which contradicts the lemma it is glossing and the two sentences that follow (Aperuerunt os avidi… Aperuerunt os superbi…). Conjecture: oris sui. Rendered exactly as printed, "The opening of thy mouth designates cruelty and derision" (Pattern 7a — no silent repair). Real word, no marker.
• 0301D — quod in calamitatem collapso, in signum et prodigium transeuntibus posita es. Masculine/neuter collapso where the addressee is feminine (posita es). Latin gender has no English exponent (Pattern 9); rendered "having fallen into calamity," English left alone, logged so a later sweep does not churn it.
• 0302C — MISSING TERMINAL STOP. …quos ad suum consortium trahere valent Sequitur: Sibilaverunt. No point between valent and Sequitur. None supplied (Pattern 8).
• 0302D — Daemones contra animam os aperiunt: quando erectum in bonis desideriis vocibus suggestionis pulsant and, next sentence, quando jacentes in prava delectatione… Both participles disagree with feminine singular animam. Gender/number, no English exponent; rendered "upon it as it stands upright" and "to those lying," English left alone.
• 0303D — Ordinatum esse ostenditur quod cum praemeditatione factum memoratur. Rendered literally, "That is shown to have been ordained which is recorded as done with premeditation."
• 0304C — quia eos etiam, qui persistunt in ruina fratrum, moerores compassionis affligit. Singular affligit with plural moerores; rendered with the plural subject ("the sorrows of compassion afflict…"), and qui persistunt left without its complement, as printed.

Chunk 0014

• 0305C — Recte ergo afflictio dicitur, complevit sermonem quem praeceperat a diebus antiquis, ut eo patientius … toleret. Nominative afflictio where the following purpose clause has the afflicted soul as subject; afflictae would construe. Rendered as printed, "Rightly therefore is the affliction spoken of: he hath fulfilled the word…". Real word, no marker.
• 0306A — Tantoque humilius mens humana justitia Dei se in flagella subjiciat. Nominative/ablative justitia where the sense wants justitiae Dei as the thing submitted to. Rendered as an ablative, "let the human mind the more humbly subject itself to the scourges by the justice of God." Real word, no marker.
• 0306A — TRUNCATED TYPE [sic: contradica] — the most important entry in this stint. The chunk's first paragraph ends:

Valde enim in afflicto animo pondus tribulationis allevat, si nec in sua poena aequitati judicis contradica

The word is cut off mid-form and there is no terminal stop. That the form is truncated and not a variant is confirmed inside this same work: at 0278A (chunk 0006) Migne prints the full contradicat (quod ejus voluntati contradicat). Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, inside [sic: …], and the sentence is left unterminated: "…if not even in its own punishment it contradica the equity of the judge". The printed nec is carried. Conjecture: contradicat. Whether the loss is Migne's plate or our TEI cannot be settled from our files, so it is marked [sic: …] (the plate's, on the evidence we have) rather than [ed: …]; a plate check would settle it.

• 0306C — et hoc eum prohiberi non posse existimant, quod ipso permittente, et disponente fieri ignorant. The accusative eum with passive prohiberi does not construe (eum prohibere would). Rendered as closely as the printed words allow: "and they judge that this cannot be hindered, which they know not comes to pass by his own permitting and disposing."
• 0306C — Murus filiae Sion unumquemque veritatis defensorem significare potest, si per quem cor inimicorum clamat ad Dominum. Printed si leaves the clause without an apodosis and without a construable link. Conjecture: sic ("thus, through whom the heart of the enemies cries…"), on the model of the same si-for-sic slip logged at 0310A in chunk 0015. Rendered as printed, si carried ("if through whom…"). Real word, no marker.
• 0306D — DROPPED VERB, RENDERED AS PRINTED: clausit. Migne prints:

tunc nimirum cor hostium ad Deum intrinsecus praesidentem clausit, ut jam ipse importuno strepitu commotus de illa sua quiete exsurgens dicat.

The whole passage is expounding the lemma Clamavit cor eorum ad Dominum, the preceding sentence has ad aures usque Dei non pertingunt, and the ut clause makes God rise up stirred by the din — so the verb required is clamavit, and ad Deum … clausit ("closed toward God") does not construe with ad. Rendered exactly as printed, "then assuredly the heart of the foes closed toward God presiding within" (Pattern 7a: a word is not translated as something other than what it means to rescue a sentence). Real word, no marker. Conjecture: clamavit.

• 0306D — Rursumque per murum filiae Sion; quia tunc delectatio carnis… A fragment with no verb, closed with a semicolon. Rendered as printed, "And again by the wall of the daughter of Sion; because…".
• 0308C — peccant revera si de illorum salute etiam plus ipsis solliciti, non sunt. Migne prints a comma between the predicate and its negated verb. English reorders the clause, so the comma is not carried; the negation is.
• 0307C — the sense label is printed LITTER. here, not LITTERAL. Normalized to LITERAL. per the label convention above.

Not defects — recorded so they are not re-opened

• Band-mark sequences in these five chunks are continuous A→D with no gaps, and no text is broken mid-word or mid-construction across any anchor except the 0306A case logged above (where the break is at a paragraph end, not at the anchor). Nothing in this class to report.
• noteCount matches the body [n: …] count in all five chunks (2, 1, 14, 1, 6).
• No [n: …] in this stint carries editorial prose; all fourteen in 0012 and the rest are bare scripture locators, so no [nt: …] conversion was warranted.
• No [f: …] tagging: this is a lemma-and-gloss commentary, not a florilegium (Pattern 4 does not apply).

Polarity read, 2026-07-29 — 5 sites, 0 new; two refinements to entries above

Blind read of chunks 0010–0014 reproduced all five polarity sites already logged here (@0306D clausit for clamavit; @0306C prohiberi; @0301D/0302A oris tui; @0296C the lost sed etiam limb; @0306B si per quem) and found nothing new — independent confirmation that this range's apparatus is complete. Chunks 0010 and 0012 clean on both sides; 0011 and 0013 one plate site each; 0014 three. Eight candidates examined and rejected with reasons (detail: data/sweeps/polarity-11058-11553/11058-u3.json), the strongest being @0305B comminatio mea vitari potest; praeceptum autem meum cassari non potest, which is coherent as printed because the sentence defines its own terms — praeceptum is the standing statute, comminatio the avoidable threat.

Two refinements to the entries above, worth carrying because the blind reader saw further than the original note did:

1. @0306C — the polarity direction is forced, and should be stated. The entry above records only that eum prohiberi "does not construe." The neighbour settles which way it fails: the charge laid is divinae potentiae derogant, which requires the ACTIVE — they think he cannot prevent it. The printed passive asserts the opposite of the charge. Also noted on our side: the English drops eum and makes hoc the subject, which smooths the agency question away rather than leaving it visible. Not rewritten here — the reference/agency binding in a clause the plate has already broken is a judgment call, and it is logged so it can be ruled on rather than silently adjusted.
2. @0306B — better conjecture than the one above. The entry conjectures sic for si. The lemma is clamavit … super murum filiae Sion, which argues for super quem: that fixes the syntax and the reference binding in one stroke, making the defender the thing cried over rather than the instrument of the crying. sic fixes neither. Our English leaves "if through whom" as untagged nonsense with no [sic:] — a candidate for the marker if the run is judged non-word.

Hugh of St Victor, PL 175. Agent stint covering chunks 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018 (0018 is the last chunk of the work). Entries are ordered by column.

Conventions decided in this stint

• Head. ## Adnotatiunculae in Threnos (cont.) is rendered ## Little Notes on Lamentations (cont.) throughout, conformed to the wording the peer agents had already landed in chunks 0000–0012. (cont.) left literal per the marker rules.
• Sense labels. Rendered as adjectives, uniformly: MORAL., LITERAL., ALLEGORICAL. Migne prints MORAL., LITTERAL., ALLEG. — and at 0310D he prints ALLEG with no terminal point (de circuitu. ALLEG Quid per noctem). Normalized to ALLEGORICAL. under Pattern 9 (section labels normalize in English; the misprint stays visible in the facing Latin column).
• Quotation marks. Migne prints no guillemets anywhere in these four chunks. None supplied. Hugh's very frequent Ac si diceret: / Quasi diceret: paraphrases are left unquoted, matching the plate; straight quotes are used once only (0309A, the term "leading down").
• Lemma wording. Hugh's Lamentations lemma is translated from Migne's page each time it recurs, including where his own repetitions differ from one another (see 0310C below). No conventional English Lamentations was consulted.
• deduc / educere. The whole gloss at 0308D–0310A turns on deducere = "lead DOWN" (hoc est deorsum ducat), so the lemma is rendered "Lead down thy tears like a torrent," not "Pour out"/"Let tears run down." From 0309B Migne switches to educunt / educendae ("lead out") while still glossing the same lemma; the switch is preserved, not harmonized.

Chunk 0015

• 0309D–0310A — Sed quia multi coeptum quidem poenitendi studium non deserunt, sed tamen ab illo fervore suo, quo coeperant, paulatim tempore succedente tepescunt. The quia clause has no apodosis: Migne closes it with a full stop and begins a new sentence, Adjungit, dicens. Rendered as printed, stop and all (Pattern 8: never delete, never supply). Probably the apodosis was absorbed into Adjungit.
• 0310A — Cum ergo requies non datur, pupilla quoque oculi clamat: si dum caro foris affligitur, intus mentis devotio orat. Printed si gives "cries out: if, while the flesh is afflicted without, within the devotion of the mind prays" — which does not resolve. Conjecture: sic ("thus the pupil of the eye also cries out: while the flesh…"). Rendered as printed; si is a real word and takes no [sic: …] marker (Pattern 12 boundary).
• 0310A — quia item instantiam laboris devotio humilitatis commendabilem Deo reddit. Printed item rendered "likewise"; possibly ipsam. Construable as printed, so rendered literally, no marker.
• 0310C — Et vide quomodo in arcto reposita est. The feminine subject is unexpressed (causa? res?). Rendered "And see how it is set in a narrow strait."
• 0310C–D — DITTOGRAPHY, marked [d: …]. Migne prints: …quando parentes pro anima parvulorum suorum exorare jubentur. Idcirco autem parentes pro anima parvulorum suorum exorare jubentur; idcirco autem parentes pro parvulis suis supplicare debent… The middle clause repeats the end of the preceding sentence and the opening of the following one; the sentence resumes correctly after it. Both occurrences are rendered, the second wrapped in [d: …] per Pattern 11. Looks like a compositor's doubling (eye-skip between two idcirco autem line-starts), not a genuine textual doubling.
• 0310C vs 0311C — lemma divergence inside the work. At 0310C Migne prints the lemma qui fame pereunt in capite omnium compitorum; at 0311C, glossing the same words, he prints Qui defecerunt fame in capite omnium compitorum (Vulg. Lam. 2:19 qui defecerunt in fame). Both rendered as printed ("who perish with hunger" / "who have fainted with hunger"). Not marked [var: …]: the sense does not turn on it and the divergence is internal to Migne's own repetitions.
• 0309A — the note [n: (Psal. I)] attaches to Cor contritum, et humiliatum Deus non despicies, which is Ps. 50:19. Migne's citation reproduced verbatim per the marker rule; recorded here only so the index's refDisplay/refKey split is not mistaken for our error.

Chunk 0016

• 0312C — ille quasi aquas cor suum ante conspectum Domini effundit. Plural aquas against the lemma's sicut aquam. Rendered "like waters"; real word, no marker.
• 0313B — CARRIED TYPE [sic: videmiaveris]. Vide, Domine et considera quem videmiaveris ita. Non-word for vindemiaveris, which Migne prints correctly at the head of the same section (0313A) and again at 0314D. Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, inside a [sic: …] marker; the English sentence therefore lacks its verb, which is the plate's condition.
• 0313C — Ergone, Domine, mulieres comedent fructum suum. A direct question closed with a full stop; the same question at 0314D is closed with ?. Punctuation preserved as printed (Pattern 8).
• 0314A — et in libro Regum scriptum est [n: (II Par. XXVI)]: the prose names Kings, the note cites Paralipomenon. Note reproduced verbatim; not adjudicated.
• 0314D — Unde cum magno pietatis affectu pronuntiandum est hoc, quod dicitur. Vide, Domine… Full stop where a colon is expected before the lemma. Preserved.
• 0315B — Si occiditur in sanctuario Domini sacerdos, et propheta? A conditional protasis closed with a question mark (as also at 0316A). Preserved.

Chunk 0017

• 0316A — CARRIED TYPE [sic: praeteritotorum]. nisi prius per negligentiam, et praeteritotorum malorum memoria… Non-word for praeteritorum; carried in italics inside [sic: …].
• 0316B — Migne's own bracketed variant [senex]. The lemma prints puer, et senes [senex]. Reproduced verbatim and untranslated, on the same footing as [ al., …]; the head noun is rendered from the printed senes ("the old men"), and the whole gloss that follows in fact expounds the singular senex.
• 0316C — CARRIED TYPE [sic: cansam]. de nostra miseria tecum cansam inimus. Non-word for causam; carried in italics inside [sic: …].
• 0316C — Migne's bracketed variant, malformed italics. The lemma prints Interfecisti in die furoris, percussisti, nec misereris [misertus es ]. — the closing italic asterisk falls inside the bracket, before the ]. The English mirrors the printed asterisk placement exactly rather than rebalancing it. Also note in die furoris without tui (Vulg. Lam. 2:21 in die furoris tui): rendered "in the day of fury," and kept so at both later repetitions (0317C, 0318C).
• 0317A — SPLIT TYPE [sic: illuminabi te]. et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabi te Christus (Eph. 5:14, Vulg. illuminabit te Christus). A word-division defect: the run is carried whole per Pattern 10, so the English clause has no finite verb. It sits inside an already-italic scripture lemma and therefore takes no second italic marker (nested italics not expressible), as Pattern 10 directs.
• 0317B — CARRIED TYPE [sic: aculus]. Lingua eorum gladius aculus (Ps. 56:5, Vulg. gladius acutus). Non-word; carried inside the italic lemma, so again without a second italic marker.
• 0317B — MISSING NEGATION. The most important entry in this stint. Migne prints:

Per virgines autem et juvenes, fideles signantur, qui et virgines sunt, quia integritatem fidei pravis operibus corrumpunt…

As printed this says the faithful are called virgins because they corrupt the integrity of faith by depraved works — the opposite of the argument, whose parallel limb immediately follows in the correct polarity (et juvenes sunt, quia per constantiam mentis adversis ingruentibus non cedunt), and whose continuation a few lines later assumes that heretical doctrine is what violates that chastity of faith. Near-certain conjecture: non corrumpunt. Rendered exactly as printed — no negation supplied, no verb weakened — per Pattern 7a. The English is self-contradictory because the plate is.

• 0317C — quia cum, Deus, superbos despicias, ii qui haereticorum erroribus subvertuntur, constat quod nequaquam a cognitione veritatis caderent… An apostrophe to God breaks into a third-person exposition and ii qui… is left without a governing verb (constat quod takes over). Rendered as closely as the printed words allow, with the anacoluthon intact.
• 0317D — MISSING TERMINAL STOP. …spinas et tribulos vitiorum germinare coepit Parvulus autem est sensus carnis… No point between coepit and Parvulus. None supplied (Pattern 8): the English reads "…began to bring forth the thorns and thistles of the vices But the little child is the sense of the flesh."
• 0318A — quando id etiam nostrae corruptionis, quod vindicta praevaricationis intulit; carnalis mens… A semicolon where the relative clause closes and the main subject begins. Preserved.
• 0318B — dum ex corruptis cogitationes corrumpuntur. ex corruptis has no expressed noun (affectibus, from the preceding clause). Rendered "while thoughts are corrupted from corrupt ones."
• 0319A — ne evaderent manus inimicorum quando Sedechias… No punctuation before quando. Preserved.
• 0319B — in Reblata (Riblah) kept as Migne prints it.

Chunk 0018

• 0319D — Quando multos, qui hic in disciplina Ecclesiae educati… inimicus consumet et secum ad perditionem trahet. A quando clause standing as a whole sentence, with no main clause. Rendered as a sentence, as printed.
• 0320C — REAL WORD, WRONG: in altare. terretur quidem, sed non de circuitu, quia in altare peccatrix conscientia ex memoria sui reatus stringitur; ex altera parte in fiducia boni operis dilatatur. The answering limb ex altera parte shows the sense required is ex una parte / ex altera parte — "on the one side… on the other side." altare ("altar") is a real Latin word, so under Pattern 12 it is rendered as ordinary English ("because on the altar the sinful conscience is straitened…") and takes no [sic: …] marker. The conjecture lives here.
• 0320D — REAL WORD, WRONG: dies vocationis. Dies enim solemnis, est dies quietis; dies vocationis quando operari non licet. Sense requires dies vacationis ("a day of leisure"), which is what the following clause defines. Rendered as printed, "a day of calling" — which is not absurd here, since the paragraph is expounding Vocasti, and that may be why the error survived. No marker (real word).
• 0320D — Peccatum meum coram [contra] me est semper. Migne's bracketed variant [contra] reproduced verbatim and untranslated inside the lemma (Vulg. Ps. 50:5 contra me).
• 0321B — quae prius tempora poenitenti indulta sibi neglexit. Printed poenitenti (dat. sing. participle) where poenitentiae would be expected; rendered as a dative in apposition, "the times formerly granted to it as a penitent." Real word, no marker.
• 0322B — CASE MISMATCH: ipsa carni desideria. Vel per educatos, et enutritos, ipsa carni desideria accipere possumus. Printed dative carni for genitive carnis. Rendered with the dative kept visible — "the very desires belonging to the flesh" — rather than smoothed to "of the flesh." Real word, no marker.
• 0322B — Novissime inimica destruetur mors (1 Cor. 15:26, Vulg. novissima autem inimica destruetur mors). Migne prints the adverb novissime; rendered "Last of all the enemy death shall be destroyed." Sense unaffected, so no [var: …].
• 0321B → 0322A. The anchor sequence runs 0321B then 0322A, with no 0321C/D. Not reported as a defect: band marks are positional quarter-guides, and no text is broken across the anchor (a sentence closes at Recte ergo dicitur. before it). Logged only so a later reader does not re-open it.

Polarity read, 2026-07-29 — one accuracy fix (OURS)

• @0316A instantia mala — "present" → "impending". FIXED in 0017.md. Hugh sets prudence against instantia mala prospiciendo and devotion against mala praeterita supplicando, then names the pair himself three lines later: praeteritorum malorum memoria, et futurorum cautela (0316B). The antithesis is past against future, so instantia here is impending, not present — and "foreseeing present evils" does not cohere on its own terms either. Not a polarity defect (it flattens an antithesis rather than reversing a claim), which is why the blind reader correctly declined to report it as one and passed it on as an accuracy nit. Recorded here because a rejected candidate that is nonetheless a real error is exactly the kind of finding that otherwise evaporates.
• Blind polarity read of chunks 0015–0018 otherwise found 1 site, 0 new (@0317B, the dropped non already logged above). Chunks 0015, 0016, 0018 read clean; 0017 clean apart from @0317B. Six further candidates examined and rejected with reasons — see data/sweeps/polarity-11058-11553/11058-u4.json and the agent report.
