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 →
Garbled or corrupt printed readings rendered literally per the translation register, logged here with column, printed reading, and note.
- col 1179C — printed altereatione ("Non erit itaque illud judicium in altereatione sermonum"). Misprint for altercatione; rendered as "altercation" (of words).
- col 1182A — printed canorum ("quasi canorum decreta"). Misprint for canonum, as confirmed by the parallel quasi canonum decretis at col 1182B; rendered "decrees of canons."
- col 1183A — printed Verbum itaque cordis sententia intelligentias. The clause does not construe: intelligentias (acc. pl.) has no governing verb, and the sense requires something like sententia intelligentiae [est]. Rendered "The word of the heart, therefore, is the judgment of the understanding."
- col 1183D — printed siggillatim ("siggillatim et succedenter respondere"). Doubled-consonant misprint for sigillatim; rendered "one by one."
Note: the Latin as printed skips col 1178A–B (text runs 1177D → 1178C) and col 1181... continuous; column anchors reproduced exactly as printed.
