Sermo de missione Spiritus Sancti

Garbled or irregular printed readings in Migne's plate, logged here, plus citation and column-anchor anomalies passed through verbatim under the marker rule. The English renders what the plate prints, per translation-style.md Pattern 7: a printed reading that is construable is rendered literally even where it is odd or says the opposite of what the argument requires, and type that is not a word at all is carried into the English untranslated, in italics and marked [sic: …] (Pattern 12). Conjectured readings are recorded here and only here; they are never applied to the running text.

Chunk 0000

• ~~Col 1018D — column anchor out of band.~~ DO NOT FIX — false alarm, documented do-not-reopen class. The sequence 1017D → 1018D → 1019A is normal. Migne's A–D marks are positional quarter-guides transcribed where they appear in the plate, not four marks per column; the band letter says where in a column the mark falls, and the column number is what increments. So a D mark in col. 1017 followed by a D mark in col. 1018 followed by an A mark in col. 1019 describes three different columns and implies nothing missing. Arithmetic over the band letters manufactures phantom gaps — this was settled corpus-wide on 2026-07-18 (49 such "gaps" examined, all same-letter, zero real). No tei-patch. The only real signal is text broken mid-word or mid-construction across an anchor, and there is none here.
• Col 1017D — Ubique est, omnia potest, et omnino cum nihil latere potest. As printed, cum leaves the clause without a subject for latere to escape. Rendered literally, cum standing where the plate puts it: "and altogether, since nothing can lie hidden." The intended reading is near-certainly eum ("and nothing at all can lie hidden from him"), which the tricolon (present everywhere / all-powerful / all-knowing) and the whole following argument require. cum is a real word, so it is rendered rather than carried — no [sic: …] (Pattern 12's boundary).
• Col 1019B — Argumentum itaque est a toto quia omnia possit, quod sine ipso nihil subsistit, nihil subsistere possit. The nihil subsist- clause is set twice, once indicative and once subjunctive. Not treated as dittography (Pattern 11) — the two runs are not identical, so this looks like a variant that the compositor set alongside the reading it was meant to replace rather than a doubled run. Both are rendered.
• Col 1019C — Quod multa putamus saepe cognoscimus, quorum tamen vocabula non novimus vel obliti sumus. The opening Quod has no antecedent and no governing verb. Rendered as printed ("Because we often come to know many things which we think of…"). Multa etenim or Multa enim would give the sense the argument needs.
• Col 1020B — Spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum … [n: (Gen. II)]. The note attached to the peroration's repetition of the sermon's theme verse cites Gen. II, but the verse is Wisdom 1:7 — cited correctly as (Sap. I) at the sermon's opening (1017D) and again twice in chunk 0004. The note is reproduced verbatim per the marker rule; the misattribution is Migne's, and refDisplay should keep it while refKey resolves to Wisdom.

Chunk 0001

• Col 1021D — spurious italic run and capital. Cum enim istae multiformis gratiae Spiritus unam Aliquam gratiam homini ex prius habitis subtrahit. Two defects at once: an italic run opened mid-clause around words that are not a quotation (the sermon italicizes scripture only), and Aliquam capitalized inside a sentence. Read straight through, the words are ordinary Latin — unam aliquam gratiam homini ex prius habitis subtrahit, "withdraws from a man some one grace out of those he previously had" — so the defect is typographic, not verbal. Rendered literally with the italic span kept over the same words: "withdraws one Some grace from a man out of those previously had." The English is deliberately awkward because the plate is. Worth a human's eye — this is the strongest candidate in the work for a TEI patch, if the plate turns out to print no italics here.
• Col 1021D — istae for iste. Feminine plural agreeing with masculine singular Spiritus. Pattern 9: Latin grammatical gender has no English exponent, so there is nothing to render either way. Logged so a later sweep does not churn it.
• Col 1021B — ut nunquam omnino sicut nunquam abesse potest. The sicut-clause has no second member; as printed it compares "never" to "never." Rendered as closely as the words allow: "so that never at all, just as never, can he be absent." Something like ut nunquam adesse desinat sicut nunquam abesse potest would complete the figure.
• Col 1021B — comma displaced. Secundum hunc itaque, modum nusquam habet recedere. The comma stands between itaque and modum, splitting the prepositional phrase. Pattern 8 preserves the mark; it is kept, placed after the corresponding English adverb ("In this manner therefore, he has nowhere to withdraw"), since a comma's position is bound to word order and the English does not follow the Latin's.
• Col 1022B — fundator for fundatur, and ? closing a statement. supra quae orbis ille terrarum, Domino operante, fundator, de quo et dicit? fundator is a real word (the noun "founder") standing where the passive verb fundatur ("is founded") is required by supra quae; and the sentence, which introduces the Psalm quotation that follows, closes with a question mark where a colon belongs. Both rendered as printed: "above which that whole world, by the Lord's working, is founder, of which he also says?" Ps. 23:2 (ipse super maria fundavit eum), quoted in the next breath, confirms fundatur.
• Col 1022C — ; for . Qui enim Spiritum Christi non habet; hic non est ejus. The semicolon breaks Rom. 8:9 where the plate's own sense wants nothing or a comma. Preserved (Pattern 8).
• Col 1023B — qui vocat ad ea quae non sunt tanquam ea quae sunt. Migne prints vocat ad ea; the Vulgate (Rom. 4:17) has vocat ea quae non sunt. Rendered with the printed preposition ("who calleth unto those things that are not"). Scripture policy: translate what Migne prints.
• Col 1022D vs 1029A — jam tertia / vix tertia. The Acts 2:15 allusion is quoted twice in this work with different adverbs (here cum esset hora diei jam tertia, at 1029A vix tertia). Both rendered as printed ("already" / "scarcely"), neither harmonized to the other.

Chunk 0002

• Col 1023C — disceretur for diceretur. Nunc scio quod timeas Deum pro eo quod disceretur scire feci. Richard's point is a gloss on Gen. 22:12: God's scio is to be read as scire feci, "I made [thee] to know" — i.e. for that which would be SAID (diceretur), read this. disceretur ("would be learned") is a real word and is rendered as such ("in that what would be learned I have made known"), but it inverts the gloss, which is about the wording of the verse, not about learning. Note also quod timeas (subjunctive) where the Vulgate has quod times; English has no clean exponent after "I know that," so the indicative stands.
• Col 1023C — Nonne ecce omnes isti, … qui loquuntur Galilaei sunt. The quotation of Acts 2:7 closes with a full stop where the interrogative Nonne requires a question mark. Preserved (Pattern 8).
• Col 1024B — (Psal. CXVIII) for Ps. 84:9. The note on Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus cites Psalm 118; the verse is Psalm 84:9. Reproduced verbatim.
• Col 1024B — comma splice preserved. …docet hominem scientiam, hanc internae aspirationis vocem propheta ambiebat… The plate joins two independent sentences with a comma. Kept, rather than promoted to a period or semicolon, since either would be a supplied mark (Pattern 8). Reads as a splice in English because it is one in the Latin.
• Col 1024C — (Psal. XCIII) for Ps. 118:103. The note on Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua cites Psalm 93; the verse is Psalm 118:103 — the psalm Migne had wrongly attached to the previous quotation a few lines above. The two citations appear to have been transposed. Reproduced verbatim; worth a human's eye at index time, since the pair is a clean transposition rather than two independent slips.
• Col 1024C — Domine, quis similis erit tibi (Ps. 82:2). Migne prints Domine where the Vulgate has Deus, and closes the clause with a semicolon. Both rendered/preserved as printed; note that the same verse's second vocative (Deus) is printed correctly at the end.
• Col 1025D — Ex hac ergo homo accipit ut prosit, ex illis ut proficiat. The two verbs appear to be the wrong way round: the immediately preceding antithesis is infusio ad aedificationem sui, effusio ad aedificationem proximi, so the singular (hac) should give profit to oneself (proficiat) and the plural the profit of others (prosit). Rendered as printed. Logged as a possible transposition, not emended.
• Col 1026D — in occasione gladii for in occisione gladii. Heb. 11:37 reads in occisione gladii mortui sunt, "they were put to death by the slaying of the sword." occasione is a real word ("occasion, opportunity") and is rendered as such — "died in the occasion of the sword" — under Pattern 7 and its Pattern 12 boundary. The surrounding catalogue of martyrdoms leaves no doubt about the intended reading.
• Col 1026D — (Matth. XXI; Luc. IX). The note on Qui vult venire post me… cites Matthew 21; the verse is Matt. 16:24. The Luke reference (9:23) is correct. Reproduced verbatim.

Chunk 0003

• Col 1028B — quiae (non-word), carried. …parva quaedam buccella esse videtur quiae in illud interioris hominis os injecta penitus implere non valet… quiae is not a Latin word; it is quae with an intrusive i. Carried into the English untranslated, in italics, marked [sic: quiae] (Patterns 7 and 12). The whole broken form is one token, so nothing else is swept into the marker.
• Col 1027D — super me dulcis for super mel dulcis. Ecclus. 24:27 reads spiritus meus super mel dulcis, "my spirit is sweet above honey." Migne prints me, which is a real word and is therefore rendered ("above me is sweet") rather than carried. The plate refutes itself six lines later, at the same column, where Richard writes quam sit suavis Spiritus ille super mel dulcis — and the intervening honey imagery (O cor felix, quod hoc melle repleris! … mel invenisti, comede quod satis est) depends on mel throughout. This is the clearest case in the work of a defect that makes the English read strangely at exactly the point where the argument is plainest.
• Col 1027A — . closing a question. Sed nunquid tolerantiam tribulationum … Deus ab homine exigeret si homo non peccasset. nunquid opens a direct question and the next sentence answers it (Omnino non exigeret), but the plate closes with a full stop. Preserved (Pattern 8).

Chunk 0004

• ~~Cols 1031A → 1032A — column band skipped.~~ DO NOT FIX — false alarm, same do-not-reopen class as the 1018D entry above. Bands 1031B–D are not "absent": Migne's A–D marks are positional quarter-guides transcribed where they appear, not four per column, so 1031A → 1032A is simply the next mark in the next column. Nothing is missing and nothing is mislabelled. The reasoning recorded here was right about the conclusion — the text runs continuously mid-sentence across the join (et hoc, [1032A] quod continet omnia), no [ed:] is warranted, colLast is correctly 1032A — but the premise was the phantom-gap arithmetic. No plate check needed.
• Col 1029C — finxit for fixit. Haec enim sola animum in intimis finxit, et per aliena desideria currere, et evagari non sinit. finxit ("fashioned") is a real word and is rendered as such; but the whole surrounding argument is about fixing the mind — in illius expertae suavitatis desiderio figit three lines later, fixa permaneat two lines above, ita fuerit infixa at 1031A. fixit is near-certain.
• Col 1031A — number disagreement. cujus omnia ex intimo praecordia … ita fuerit infixa — neuter plural subject with singular verb and participle. Pattern 9: no English exponent for the mismatch. Logged so a later sweep does not churn it.
• Col 1031A — ; for : before a quotation. …profiteri audeat; quia Spiritus Domini est hoc quod continet omnia. Preserved (Pattern 8).
• Col 1029A — Cibavit illos ex adipe frumenti, et de petra melle saturavit eos. [n: (Psal. LXXX)]. The plate sets a full stop inside the italic run before the note and another after the closing asterisk. Both preserved; the doubled stop is Migne's, not ours.
• Col 1029A — Nescit omnino, nescit quae sit vera et plena refectio: quem non satiat… Two colons in one sentence, and quae/quem shift referent mid-clause. Rendered as printed, colons kept.

Conventions applied throughout

• orbis terrarum → "the whole world." The sermon's theme verse (Wisd. 1:7) recurs some fifteen times, and the argument at 1022B–C turns on identifying the orbis terrarum of Ps. 23:1 with the orbis terrarum of the theme verse, so the phrase is rendered identically in both places.
• vox → "voice," sermo → "speech." The whole central argument (1020A) is that Scripture says scientiam vocis, not scientiam sermonis, and that vox is the wider term — so the two are never allowed to collapse into "word."
• dulcedo → "sweetness," suavitas → "pleasantness." Richard pairs them contrastively (cujus suavitas omnem suavitatem vincit, cujus dulcedo omnem dulcedinem excedit, 1027C), so they are kept distinct.
• Quotation marks. Migne prints no guillemets anywhere in this work — scripture is marked by italics and everything else by nothing at all. Verified against the Latin twins: 0 « » in the Latin, 0 in the English. Every quotation mark in the English is therefore a straight " " we supply, per Pattern 6, and only where a bare unmarked quotation would be unreadable in English (the theme verse when embedded mid-sentence at 1019C, 1020C–D; Dominus Jesus at 1025A; vox / Propheta / Apostolus named as words at 1030C).
