Moralitates in Cantica canticorum

Philip of Harvengt — read the work →

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 →

Translated 2026-08-08 by six Opus agents over 35 chunks (40,570 Latin words), each range logging to its own cruces-NNNN.md. Those six files are the record and are unabridged; this file is the merge. It exists because a work split across agents will drift on its load-bearing vocabulary and no agent can see the others — reconciling that is a required pipeline step (translation-runbook.md step 4), not a tidy-up.

Work totals after the blind read's repairs (§8): 138 [var:] · 18 [sic:] · 1 [ed:] · 0 [d:] · 0 [nt:] · 0 [f:]. As first translated: 139 / 17 / 1 — one [var:] was deleted as spurious and one [sic:] added that had been missing. verify-english.mjs clean at 35/35. EN/LA ratios 1.35–1.63.


§1 · THE STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK, AND THE TYPOGRAPHY SEAM

This work changes how it marks scripture partway through, and the change is a BOOK BOUNDARY, not a printer's whim. Books I–II mark quotations with italics; Book III onward marks them with guillemets « ». The switch falls between chunks 0013 and 0014, at cols 0523/0523B — exactly at Explicit secundus tomus / INCIPIT TERTIUS TOMUS. Corpus-wide counts: 316 italic runs, 286 guillemet runs.

Do not normalize the seam in either direction. Under Pattern 6 a « » is a mark Migne PRINTS and is reproduced 1:1; a " " is ours. Two things look like exceptions and are not:

After the seam italics survive by function: words discussed as words (Eleos, Oleos, misericordia), Migne's marginal source-edition page numbers (303313), and a lemma nested inside a guillemet quotation.

Guillemet asymmetries are Migne's and are mirrored, never balanced (Pattern 5 corollary): unclosed « at 0532C–D, 0565A, 0579D; stray » at 0568D; unopened » at 0572D and 0557C. A 270-word run at 0569A–C swallows Philip's own commentary inside Migne's quotation marks; reproduced as printed.

§2 · WHAT THE MERGE CHANGED

1. tomus = "Tome"; liber = "book". Ruled here, swept 16 places. The seven divisions of the work are tomi; the Song itself is the liber. Five agents collapsed both to "book"; one used "Tome"; that one was right, and was itself inconsistent (Tome at 0019, tome at 0020). ⚑ The decisive text is 0019 @0541C: Ad quartum tomum exponendum hujus libri accedentes. Rendered with one English word that becomes "the fourth book of this book". Migne's own gloss at 0005 settles the sense — Explicit primus tomus, id est primum volumen — a division of a work, not the work. Capitalized as a locator per Pattern 2. Also normalized in the same sweep: INCIPIT = "HERE BEGINS", EXPLICIT = "Here ends" (one agent had "BEGINNETH"/"endeth").

2. Pattern 3, "Holy Scripture" — 11 instances swept across FOUR agents' ranges. The English carried 6 × "divine Scripture", 3 × "divine Scriptures", 2 × "holy Scripture" against 17 Latin instances of divina/sacrae/divinae Scriptura(e). Pattern 3 fixes the standing name as Holy Scripture, both words capitalized, and says explicitly that a capital S alone is not enough. Chunks touched: 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0014, 0023, 0025, 0028.

3. candidatio — translated, not carried. Libanus candidatio interpretatur occurs at 0005 and 0009 in the same etymological construction; one agent gave "a whitening", the other kept "candidatio". Translated, because both passages argue from whiteness → purity → virginity, and the Latin left standing makes the inference unavailable to an English reader. The register rule reserves italic Latin for technical words with no clean English equivalent; candidatio is an ordinary noun and has one.

§3 · WHAT THE MERGE RATIFIED — no edit needed, do not churn

Migne's lower-case after a misplaced full stop STANDS. Eight instances (0003, 0006, 0011 ×2, 0012 ×2, 0014, 0015), and all three agents who met the construction independently preserved it — there was no drift, only a request to have it ruled. Reasoning, since a later sweep will be tempted: Pattern 9 normalizes only where English has no exponent for the Latin defect (grammatical gender, a typo'd section label). Lowercase-after-a-stop is expressible in English and expresses exactly what the plate shows, so Pattern 8 governs and both the mark and its consequence stand. Capitalizing would make the passage read as a deliberate sentence fragment — a worse misrepresentation than the lowercase.

Terminology checked across all 35 chunks and found already consistent:

Pattern 17 (thou = singular, you = plural; a number marker, not a reverence marker) was ruled the same day as this translation and carried in every agent's brief. 0504A is the worked case — one sentence carrying peccata nostra and inter vos together.

§4 · FINDINGS NO SINGLE AGENT COULD HAVE MADE

These are the merge's own results: a divergence attested in more than one agent's range is evidence about Philip's copy of the Bible, not a local slip.

Zech. 4:14 — duo filii olei SPLENDORIS — four chunks, three agents. 0008, 0015 (×2), 0016, 0018. The Vulgate reads duo filii olei; Migne adds splendoris every single time. And Philip knows it: at 0015 @0528C he says so outright — in Isaia simpliciter oleum appellatur, in Zacharia vero cum additamento, splendoris oleum nominatur — and builds a Trinitarian exposition on the addition (Father as oil, Son as splendour, non tamen tres splendores sunt, sed splendor unus). A lemma conformed to the Vulgate here would void a whole chapter, and the consistency across three agents shows the reading is his text, not a compositor's slip on one page.

Gen. 3:19 — Terra es et in terram ibis — two chunks, two agents. 0020 and 0033, guillemeted both times, against the Vulgate's pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris. The second half of the work expounds terra (we are earth; the earth given the serpent for food; the earth that yields her fruit). On the Vulgate text those chapters would have no proof-text at all.

Cant. 1:4 — sicut pellis Salomonis, singular (Vulg. pelles). Philip raises the singular himself as a quaestio magna, says it stands nowhere else in either Testament, and resolves it a parte totum. Kept singular in all five recapitulations.

The running lemma is re-quoted against itself and both readings stand: the head of Tome VII prints ne vagari incipiam post greges, and 0575B re-quotes it as per greges. Neither was conformed to the other — the within-work merge rule reconciles our vocabulary, never Migne's printed text.

§5 · POLARITY — rendered as printed, NOT repaired

The class this edition exists to expose. Each was rendered literally and its conjecture kept out of the running text.

One silent repair was caught in draft and reverted, which is what the rule is for: at 0513C the non-word abur had first been rendered "the ivory" — invisible, because the sentence is about ivory. It is now carried as [sic: abur].

§6 · OWED — plate reads, and nothing else blocking

  1. 0494D — text lost in our SOURCE, not (demonstrably) the plate. The TEI itself reads …aeternaliter constit</p> and starts a new paragraph, so the loss is upstream of our chunker — verified in sources/pl/tei/11638.xml, not inferred. Carried as a fragment with the work's only [ed:] (Pattern 13 cl. 3). If the plate at PL 203 col. 494D carries more, this becomes a data/tei-patches/11638.json entry and the [ed:] comes out in the same commit.
  2. 0523C–D — a clause is lost from a list running one oil-nature per sentence: « Qui peccatum non fecit » is welded to an orphan homines reficit. Rendered as printed with no [ed:], because plate-vs- digitization cannot be told apart here without the leaf. Second plate check.
  3. 0530C prints Oleos where 0525D prints Eleos for ἔλεος. Rendered as printed both times and deliberately unmarked — ⚠ a reviewer who "corrects" one to the other destroys the pun the argument runs on.
  4. ⛔ The blind polarity read has NOT been done and cannot be done by any of the six translating agents or by the merger (runbook 4a: findings are formed blind and reconciled against this file afterwards, never before). This work has no polarity-record.mjs entry and must not be deployed until it has one.

§7 · METHOD DATUM — naming the words worked

Every agent was handed a verbatim list of every quotation printed in its own range, extracted mechanically from the Latin (602 in all), with the instruction that the divergence list was the most valuable thing it would produce. This is the 8930 finding applied deliberately rather than hoped for.

Result: 139 [var:] markers across 35 chunks, plus roughly 120 further quotations collated and explicitly logged as unmarked in the range files — so the absence of a marker is recorded evidence rather than silence. Compare 8930, where the range given a strong but generic "read every lemma carefully" produced 1 marker and a later blind read found seven defects in it.

The blind read will test that. Until it runs, this number is an input, not a result.


§8 · BLIND POLARITY READ — 2026-08-08, three readers, reconciled

Runbook step 4a. One reading pass over every chunk, split across three Opus readers (0000–0011, 0012–0023, 0024–0034), each carrying BOTH lenses — negation/ scope and quotation-fidelity/markers — and each fenced off from this file, the six range files, next-session-resume.md and git history. Findings were formed blind and reconciled here afterwards, never before.

46 sites, 37 ours. Final markers after repair: 138 [var:] · 18 [sic:] · 1 [ed:].

⭐ The result that matters: the prose is sound; the defects were in the apparatus

Two of the three readers found NO dropped negation and NO substituted-opposite anywhere in their ranges — 23 chunks between them — having checked every printed negation particle, including at the places where carrying one makes the sentence contradict its own neighbour. The third found one, below.

That is the 7a″ profile the genre predicts, and it is the opposite of a homily collection's. The failures clustered in three places nobody had looked for them: our own [var:] markers, cross-agent convention drift, and head punctuation — none of which a negation-hunting read would have surfaced.

The one polarity finding — a negative particle whose force was dropped

0023 @0559C, 1 Reg. 12:23 — mechanism 3, which leaves no lexical trace. Migne prints « Absit hoc peccatum a me in Domino, quo minus cessem orare pro vobis… »; the Vulgate has ut cessem. The English read "that I should cease to pray for you" — the Vulgate's clause, not Migne's, silently dropping the negative element quominus carries. Nothing looked wrong: the sentence was smooth, the citation right, the verifier green. Aggravating it, the accompanying [var:] elided precisely that clause behind an ellipsis, so the divergence was neither rendered nor marked anywhere on the page. Fixed — the English now reads "that I should not cease", and the [var:] names ut cessem and states that Migne's quo minus reverses the clause.

Repaired — ours (the rest)

Marker defects — a class no previous work in this corpus has surfaced, because no previous blind read was told to audit the MARKERS rather than the prose:

Cross-agent drift the §2 merge had missed — all found by readers checking against ranges no translator could see:

Two mis-renderings of ordinary words:

Head punctuation, Pattern 8 — seven supplied marks removed. Colons supplied where Migne prints commas (0012, 0013, 0032, 0033, 0034), a comma supplied where he prints none (0017, 0027).

⚠ A reader recommendation DECLINED, after checking

One reader reported QUALITER as rendered inconsistently ("HOW" vs "IN WHAT MANNER") and recommended picking one form work-wide. Declined — the Latin uses two different words, and pairing every head against its source shows the English was tracking them correctly: QUOMODO → "HOW" (0009, 0010, 0011, 0012, 0027), QUALITER → "IN WHAT MANNER" (0013, 0016, 0032, 0033, 0034). Collapsing them would have destroyed a distinction the plate makes. Only 0026 was actually wrong — QUALITER rendered "HOW" — and that one instance is fixed. A majority-rule "fix" here would have been a silent normalization of Migne.

Confirmed correct, no action — recorded so a later sweep does not churn them

⬜ OWED — measured, not done

[var:] reference format is inconsistent work-wide: 71 markers use the roman Vulg. Zach. IV, 14 form, 59 use arabic Vulg. Zach. 4:14, and 8 carry no reference at all (which Pattern 14's own worked example also does, so it is permitted). The same verse appears as Isa. LIII, 5 at 0014 and Isa. 5:3 at

  1. Deliberately not swept: both forms name the verse correctly, so this is presentation in our own apparatus rather than a claim about the text, and regex-rewriting 130 markers at speed risks damage out of proportion to the gain. Do it deliberately, with a tested script, and prefer the arabic form — it distinguishes our note from Migne's roman [n:] by eye, which is the Pattern 6 principle applied to the apparatus.

Smaller, left for the same pass: three unbracketed English glosses on italic Latin (0015 @0525D, @0528C; 0016 @0530C — Eleos … misericordia, mercy), where our voice sits unmarked in running text; and a handful of commas promoted to semicolons inside quotations (0014 head, 0016 @0528D, @0529A, 0019 @0543A).

One attribution could not be settled from our files and is NOT recorded as either: the deleted semicolon in ideoque; audacter aiebat (0018 @0542B) is either Migne's plate or the TEI transcription. If the plate carries it, Pattern 8 forbids the deletion; if the TEI invented it, it is a tei-patches question. It needs the leaf — the same plate check already owed at §6.


# 11638 — Philip of Harvengt, Moralitates in Cantica canticorum (PL 203, 489–584) ## Cruces for chunks 0000–0005 (cols 0489C–0504B)

Agent 1 of six. This file must be merged with the other agents' cruces-*.md before the work ships (runbook step 4). Head-of-file terminology decisions are binding on the whole work at merge time — where a later agent has rendered the same term otherwise, one voice must win (Song-of-Songs ruling: across works each stands, WITHIN one work reconciliation is required).


A. Terminology fixed in this range (merge candidates)

LatinEnglish chosenWhereWhy
Osculetur me osculo oris sui"Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth"0000 ×6, 0001The work's governing lemma. Migne matches the Vulgate exactly; traditional cadence licensed by the Register's familiar-verse clause. Do not let a later chunk drift to "with a kiss."
Sponsus / SponsaBridegroom / Bride (capitalized)throughoutCapitalized because Philip uses them as the allegorical persons, paired with Christ / Church.
visum principium (etym. of Rachel)a beginning seen0002 @0497A, 0003 @0499CEtymological gloss — Pattern-9/Song-ruling case 2 territory: the exposition turns on it ("the creature returns to the beginning of its creation"). Kept identical at both occurrences.
ovis (etym. of Rachel)a sheep0003 @0499C
luctator (etym. of Jacob)wrestler0002 @0496CThe gloss depends on it (colluctatio adversus spirituales nequitias).
candidatio (etym. of Libanus)a whitening0005 @0503AGloss depends: chaste body, purified heart.
nux Beth-el / amygdalum (etym. of Luz)the nut of Beth-el / the almond0004 @0500DGloss depends on the shell (durissima testa).

scalio / scalionesrung / rungs0004 @0501D, 0502AMedieval form of scalae gradus; attested, so Pattern 9 — no marker.

malagmatapoultices0001 @0496A
O / ωthe letter O; ω kept as printed0001Migne prints both the Latin letter-name O and the Greek ω in the same argument; both carried as printed. See §D.

B. Second person (Pattern 17) — the singular/plural map for this range

The work slides between a singular reader and a plural congregation, and the slide is on the page:

C. Vulgate divergences — the deliverable list

Every printed quotation in the range was read word by word against the Vulgate. Twenty-three material divergences fired [var: …] (2 · 4 · 8 · 2 · 6 · 1 across chunks 0000–0005); the rest are logged here without a marker. Migne's reading is what the English renders in every case.

Marked [var: …]

  1. 0000 @0490C, Ps 30:20 — Migne Magna, inquit, multitudo dulcedinis tuae; Vulg. Quam magna multitudo…. The loss of Quam turns an exclamation into a statement, and Philip's gloss (Vere magna et admirabilis est multitudo) follows Migne's declarative, not the Vulgate's exclamatory. Note that the [n:] falls inside the guillemets on the plate and is reproduced there.
  2. 0000 @0491D, 1 Cor 10:11 — Migne Quoniam quidem omnia quae contigerunt patribus nostris, in figura contigerunt illis; Vulg. Haec autem omnia in figura contingebant illis. A full re-cast, and patribus nostris is Philip's own hinge for the next sentence (Si ergo apud illos figura fuit…). Not italicized on the plate; rendered as running text, as printed.
  3. 0001 @0494B, John 17:3 — Migne drops solum Deum verum. Material and load-bearing: Philip immediately supplies the missing predicate himself (subauditur: et Spiritum sanctum, unum et verum Deum esse), which only makes sense against a text that lacks it. A conformed lemma here would have made Philip's gloss redundant.
  4. 0001 @0494B, Luke 2:14 — Migne Gloria in excelsis Deo; Vulg. in altissimis. Familiar-liturgical form against the Vulgate's.
  5. 0001 @0495C, Luke 12:35 (cited as Luc. XXII) — Migne prints Sint lumbi nostri praecincti. The Vulgate has lumbi vestri. This is the range's sharpest 7a″ trap: the remembered "let your loins be girded" arrives before the printed word is read, and it also silently repairs Migne's chapter number. Rendered "Let our loins be girded." The reference is also wrong (Luke 12, not 22) — printed as-is per refDisplay policy, not corrected.
  6. 0001 @0496A, Ps 93:19 — Migne Secundum multitudinem tentationum mearum; Vulg. dolorum meorum. The whole paragraph is about temptation (ab omnigena tentationum infestatione vulneratis), so the divergent word is the one the argument runs on. Unmarked as a quotation on the plate apart from the italics; no [n:].
  7. 0002 @0496D, Ps 35:7 — Migne Judicia Dei abyssus multa; Vulg. judicia tua. Third person for second; Philip's frame requires the third.
  8. 0002 @0496D, Eccl 9:2 — Migne Omnia reservantur homini post mortem incerta; Vulg. sed omnia in futurum servantur incerta. post mortem is not in the Vulgate at all and is exactly what Philip's argument (the sealed well of God's counsel until judgment) needs.
  9. 0002 @0497A, Matt 25:41 — Migne Ite, maledicti…; Vulg. Discedite a me maledicti… qui paratus est diabolo. praeparatus for paratus is an orthographic variant only (Pattern 9, no marker of its own).
  10. 0002 @0497A, Matt 25:34 — Migne percipite regnum; Vulg. possidete paratum vobis regnum.
  11. 0002 @0497B, John 17:21–22 (cited as Joan. XVIII) — Migne Pater, volo ut sicut ego et tu unum sumus, ita et ipsi unum sint in nobis; the Vulgate's clause order and wording are wholly different. Reference likewise off by one chapter; printed as-is.
  12. 0002 @0497B, 1 John 3:2 (cited as Joan. III) — Migne nondum apparet (present); Vulg. nondum apparuit (perfect). The 7914 @1071D class (tense quietly restored to the Vulgate). Rendered "it doth not yet appear."
  13. 0002 @0497D, Matt 5:48 — Migne Perfecti estote, sicut et Pater vester perfectus est qui in coelis est; Vulg. Estote ergo vos perfecti, sicut et Pater vester caelestis perfectus est.
  14. 0002 @0498A, Prov 16:5 — A DROPPED NEGATIVE, and it inverts the argument. Migne prints Qui exaltat cor suum, mundus est coram Deo. The maxim as commonly cited in the schools is immundus est coram Deo omnis qui exaltat cor suum (a loose form of Prov 16:5, abominatio Domini est omnis arrogans). Philip's whole paragraph argues that a virgin who is proud of her virginity is unclean — Eve was corpore virgo et casta, sed mente immunda — and the very next clause says nec prodest quidquam virginem et castum esse corpore, si fuerit incestus in mente. As printed, the Scripture proof asserts the exact contrary of the sentence it is adduced for. Rendered literally ("He that exalteth his heart is clean before God") per Pattern 7a; not repaired. The lost im- is a plate defect of exactly the 11536 @1085D / 8625 @0940B class. This is the single most important entry in the file.
  15. 0003 @0499A, Ezek 36:26–27 (cited as cap. XI et XXXVI) — Migne Tollam a vobis cor lapideum; Vulg. auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra.
  16. 0003 @0499D, 1 Cor 6:17 — Migne Qui adhaeret Deo, unus spiritus efficitur cum ipso; Vulg. Qui autem adhaeret Domino, unus spiritus est. Philip's own chunk 0000 close (unus spiritus effici merear cum ipso, @0493A) is built on Migne's expanded form, not the Vulgate's.
  17. 0004 @0501A, 1 Pet 2:5 — Migne superaedificamini in habitaculo Spiritus sancti; Vulg. superaedificamini domus spiritualis. Migne's reading is what the surrounding argument (the spirit as habitaculum Dei) requires.
  18. 0004 @0501C, Ps 44:8 — Migne unxit te Deus Pater tuus oleo jubilationis prae omnibus sanctis tuis; Vulg. unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo laetitiae prae consortibus tuis. Three divergences in one verse, and the third is load-bearing: the sentence immediately before reads significavit Christum prae omnibus sanctis impletum Spiritus sancti charismatibus — the exposition quotes Migne's phrase, not the Vulgate's.
  19. 0004 @0502B, Ps 83:8 — Migne prints deorsum in Sion where the Vulgate has Deus deorum in Sion. deorumdeorsum is a one-letter plate corruption that turns "the God of gods in Sion" into "downward in Sion," and Philip has already supplied Deum outside the quotation (donec videat Deum deorsum in Sion regnantem), which is what makes the corrupt reading construe at all. Rendered "until it see God, downward in Sion, reigning." Not repaired.
  20. 0004 @0502C, Phil 2:8 — Migne adds Patri (factus est obediens Patri usque ad mortem), which the Vulgate lacks; the addition is Philip's point (obedience reconciling the race to the Father).
  21. 0004 @0502D, 1 John 2:27 (cited as II Joan. II) — Migne Et vos unctionem a Spiritu sancto accepistis, et, ut aliquis doceat vos, necesse non habetis; the Vulgate's clause is a jussive (maneat in vobis) and names no Spirit.
  22. 0004 @0502D, John 7:37–38 — Migne compresses, dropping Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura and reading de ventre ejus fluent aquae vivae for flumina… aquae vivae; also dicebat de Spiritu sancto for dixit de Spiritu.
  23. 0005 @0504A, Isa 59:1–2 — Migne Non est invalida manus Domini ad salvandum, sed peccata nostra fecerunt murum inter vos et Deum; Vulg. Ecce non est abbreviata manus Domini ut salvare nequeat… sed iniquitates vestrae diviserunt inter vos et Deum vestrum. Note the internal number clash Migne prints — peccata nostra but inter vos — carried as printed (§B).

Divergences logged, NOT marked (sense unaffected, no gloss turns on them)

D. Text cruces — printed readings rendered literally, not repaired

  1. 0001 @0494D — the sentence breaks off mid-word. Our TEI ends the paragraph …in unam personam Dei et hominis aeternaliter constit. The verb is almost certainly constituat, but the truncation is at the level of our digitized source, not demonstrably Migne's plate, so it takes neither [sic:] (which would blame the plate) nor a silent repair. The fragment is carried in italics and an [ed: …] marks the hole (Pattern 13, clause 3): a reader-visible break that would otherwise read as our own bug. Recovery: read PL 203 col. 494D on the plate; if the plate carries more, the fix belongs in data/tei-patches/11638.json, and the [ed:] comes out in the same commit.
  2. 0004 @0500B–C — a clause with no verb. Migne prints …et pugnare contra se ipsum, ut dominans animo suo, fortior ut expugnatore urbium. The allusion is Prov 16:32 (qui dominatur animo suo, expugnatore urbium), where the missing word is melior est / sit. The second ut stands where a finite verb belongs and cannot be construed with the ablative expugnatore. Nothing is supplied. Rendered "so that, ruling over its own mind, stronger as the stormer of cities." — the English stops where the Latin stops. Every ut Migne prints is on the page (Pattern 7a: the printed word is carried even when the sentence will not construe).
  3. 0004 @0500C — ut vineat seipsum et mundum. vineat is not a Latin word; vincat is certain from the context (ut vincat seipsum et mundum, answering ego vici mundum two lines later). Non-word class, Pattern 7 as ruled 2026-07-28: carried untranslated in italics inside [sic: vineat], not read as vincat.
  4. 0004 @0501B — a missing terminal stop. O quam magna est clementia nostri Redemptoris Quid enim innixio Dei… — the plate prints no punctuation between the exclamation and the following question. Not supplied (Pattern 8); the English runs on identically.
  5. 0003 @0499B — a full stop inside a relative clause. fides, spes, charitas sunt. quae nostras simplices enutriunt cogitationes. The stop before the lowercase quae is the plate's. Not deleted (Pattern 8, the 11542 @1041D class): the English reads "…are faith, hope, charity. which nourish our simple thoughts."
  6. 0000 @0493A — David prophetae dicit. Dative where the parallel at 0004 @0501C reads David propheta loquitur ad Filium Dei. Rendered literally as a dative ("David says to the prophet"); this is a real word merely mis-inflected, so under Pattern 12 it takes no [sic:] — the English word on the page is ours. Conjecture: propheta, near-certain.
  7. 0000 @0493A — Junge ergo, si tali placet, lilium violae vel rosae. Bare dative tali with no antecedent; rendered "if it please such a one." Conjecture: si talia placent or si ita placet. Nothing supplied.
  8. 0001 @0494C — Duo ejusdem e diverso dentes accedunt, in a sentence whose next clause is simul conjunctis labiis. dentes (teeth) where labia (lips) is what a kiss requires and what Philip himself writes three words later. Rendered "Two teeth of the same one draw near from opposite sides"; a real word, so Pattern 7 not Pattern 12 — no marker. Conjecture: labia, but the dentes/labia pair may be Philip's own (two teeth = the two natures meeting), so this is flagged, not resolved.
  9. 0002 @0497D–0498A — two finite verbs, no relative. ideo bene quidem in nostra recapitulatione sequantur lilia virginitatem, castitatemque, et munditiam significant. Conjecture: lilia, quae virginitatem… significant. Rendered as two clauses exactly as printed: "…let the lilies follow, they signify virginity and chastity and cleanness."
  10. 0000 @0491B — a promise of seven, a list of two. omnes et singulae sententiae… septem in se ad minus continere videntur, scilicet… followed by only the divinity/humanity and the Christ/Church conjunction before the sentence turns to rhetoric and the arts. Rendered as printed; the count is made good at 0000 @0493B (In ista sententia invenies septem sacramenta…), which lists seven. No defect asserted.
  11. 0001 @0494A — per omnen textum sui for omnem: orthographic, Pattern 9, translated normally.
  12. 0003 @0499B — ne nos dimersos obruant for demersos: attested medieval spelling, Pattern 9, no marker.
  13. 0004 @0500A — terra obice obstrusum manebat: obstrusus is attested (from obtrudo); Pattern 9, translated normally ("shut up by a barrier of earth").

E. Structural notes

F. Verification run

node scripts/verify-english.mjs 11638 reports no findings for 0000–0005 (remaining failures are the unwritten chunks of other agents). Anchor sequences match the Latin twin exactly in all six chunks (14 · 11 · 9 · 6 · 12 · 5); [n:] counts match the twin exactly (13 · 12 · 14 · 4 · 24 · 4; a raw grep reports 5 for 0003 only because that chunk's incipit: frontmatter field ends with a truncated [n: — body counts govern); guillemets 1‖1; ## heads 2 · 1 · 2 · 1 · 1 · 1.


PL 203, coll. 0503B–0518B. Agent 2 of 6. Merge with the other agents' cruces files at assembly (runbook step 4); the terminology block below is offered for that reconciliation.


Terminology decisions (for the merge — these are the ones a peer agent could differ on)

The work's whole argument is a fixed pair of virtues, and elegant variation on it would be a doctrinal error of the same class as 7a″'s lemma-conformation. Fixed here:

LatinEnglishwhy fixed
clementiaclemencynever "kindness"/"mercy" — Philip assigns clementia to the divinity and misericordia to the humanity and the distinction is load-bearing throughout 0006–0011
misericordiamercyas above
Sponsus / SponsaBridegroom / Bride
uberabreaststhe lemma word; never "bosom"
moralitasmorality (the moral sense)opposed to allegoria and historia in his threefold scheme
historiathe history (the literal sense), and the history of Kings where it names the book
oraculumoracle (the inner sanctuary, Douay usage at III Reg. VI)
anaglypta / anaglyptum / anaglytakept italic Latin, in the form printed each timePhilip defines the word ("a kind of sculpture whose hinder part lies hidden within…"); an English equivalent would make the definition explain nothing. The spelling varies on the plate (0509A anaglypta, 0510A anaglyta, 0510A Anaglyptum) and each form is kept as printed.
sacramentumsacrament everywhere; mysterium = mysteryforced by 0504C, where the plate prints both in one phrase (ecclesiastica mysteria et sacramenta coelestia). This gives medieval-broad "sacrament" at 0506D (certo rationis sacramento) and 0516B (aliud sacramentum … de elephante); that breadth is Philip's, not ours.
occidens litterathe killing letter
sacra / divina ScripturaHoly ScripturePattern 3
candidatiokept italic LatinSong-of-Songs ruling, case 2: the gloss IS the etymology (Libanus → whiteness → virginity), and no English word carries it
pacificus (gloss on Salomon)peaceable (translated)contrast with candidatio: here the etymology survives into English, because "peaceable" and "peace" (pax nostra, Eph 2:14, quoted two lines later) share a root
minuo / minutumkept Latin in the grammatical excursus at 0506D–0507Athe argument is an explicit etymology (a verbo quod est minuo, minuis, minutum dictum reperimus) tied to Ps 8:6 Minuisti eum; Englishing it would destroy the derivation. Italics supplied on the mention-forms Migne prints roman (register rule for technical Latin); Migne's own italics on minuo, minuis, are kept.

Second person (Pattern 17). Nothing in this range addresses a plural except quoted scripture. Philip's own singular addressee — o auditor qui audis et legis … stude et tu (0506A), Sic enim habes in Evangelio scriptum (0514D), si … adjunxeris … adimplebis (0515B) — takes thou throughout. Quoted plurals take you: Lac vobis potum dedi, Vos unctionem habetis … docet vos, Patres vestri … moriemini, Ut fides vestra, Confidite, Poenitentiam agite, vos palmites estis. Quoted singulars take thou: ubera tua, Scio, Domine … es tu, in te projectus sum, in manus tuas, Si tu es Christus, Consilium tuum, Semen tuum, In semine tuo, Venter tuus. The range therefore shifts number inside one paragraph at 0506A (thou → Lac vobis) and that is the plate's own shift, not drift.

Quotation typography. Migne marks every quotation in 0006–0011 with italics; the plate prints no guillemets at all in this range (verified: 0 « in all six Latin chunks). Per Pattern 6 none were supplied, and no " " were supplied either — the italics already do the work, and adding straight quotes on top would double-mark. Guillemet parity with the Latin twin is therefore 0 = 0 in every chunk. This is the italic-dominant end of the work; the switch to « » begins at 0014, outside this range.

Inline edition apparatus. The plate carries italic page-numbers of an earlier edition inside the running text — 295 (0505A), 296 (0506D), 297 (0508C), 298 (0510B), 299 (0512A), 300 (0513D), 301 (0011 head), 302 (0517B). All are reproduced verbatim, untranslated, in place, per the Joel precedent. Three of them fall inside an italic scripture lemma or a head; they are kept there.


A. Vulgate-divergence list — the [var: …] decisions

Every printed quotation in the range was read word by word against the Vulgate. Twenty markers fired. The ones that fired are listed first; the ones examined and deliberately not marked follow, because that list is the evidence that the marked ones were chosen, not merely noticed.

Fired

  1. 0504D · Jon. 4:2 — Migne: Scio, Domine, quia clemens et misericors es tu. Vulg.: scio enim quia tu Deus clemens et misericors es. The plate replaces the predicate Deus with a vocative Domine. Material, and Philip's gloss hangs on exactly this word: Scio pro certo quia tu, qui nunc Deus solummodo omnibus innotescis — he is expounding a tu that the Vulgate makes explicitly tu Deus. [var: Vulg. Jon. 4:2 …].
  1. 0505A · Rom. 4:15 + Hebr. 7:19 — Migne prints Lex iram, (id est mortem) operatur, et nihil ad perfectum adduxit lex under a single [n: (Rom. IV)]. Only the first clause is Romans; nihil ad perfectum adduxit lex is Hebr. 7:19. Migne's own note is reproduced verbatim and uncorrected (a reference is never emended here); the [var:] states the two loci so a reader is not left thinking Rom. IV contains both.
  1. 0505B · Ps. 21:10–11 — Migne: Ab uberibus matris meae in te projectus sum. The words are Vulgate words but drawn from either side of a verse division: v. 10 ends spes mea ab uberibus matris meae, v. 11 begins In te projectus sum ex utero. Marked because the stitched clause is what Philip glosses (Occidentem litteram … deserui), i.e. the argument rests on the join.
  1. 0505D · I Joan. 2:20 — Migne: Vos unctionem habetis a Spiritus sancto. Vulg.: vos unctionem habetis a Sancto ("from the Holy One"). Material: the whole paragraph is about the gifts of the Holy Spirit descending from Christ, and the plate has already supplied the identification the Vulgate leaves open. (For the grammatical defect in a Spiritus sancto see § B.1.)
  1. 0506A · II Cor. 2:15 (+14) — Migne: Bonus odor sumus Christi in omni loco. Vulg. v. 15: Christi bonus odor sumus Deo. In omni loco belongs to v. 14. The plate has swapped the addressee-dative for the locative phrase of the previous verse.
  1. 0506A · II Cor. 2:14 — Migne: Gratias agimus Deo qui odorem notitiae suae per nos manifestavit in omni loco. Vulg.: Deo autem gratias qui … odorem notitiae suae manifestat per nos in omni loco — present, not perfect, and the opening is restructured. Marked chiefly for the tense: Philip's point is a standing apostolic fragrance, and the perfect closes it into a past act.
  1. 0508B · I Cor. 2:8 — Migne: Si enim Jesum Dominum cognovissent, nunquam Regem gloriae crucifixissent. Vulg.: si enim cognovissent, nunquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent. King for Lord of glory, plus the added object Jesum Dominum. The commonest sort of 7a″ trap in this work: the familiar English ("the Lord of glory") is exactly what the plate does not say.
  1. 0508C · Ezech. 18:31–32 / 33:11 — Migne: Et quare moriemini filii Israel? quia nolo mortem peccatoris, dicit Dominus, sed ut convertatur et vivat. Vulg. 18:31–32: quare moriemini domus Israel … quia nolo mortem morientis dicit Dominus Deus, revertimini et vivite; the tail sed ut convertatur et vivat answers to 33:11. Two substantive word-changes plus a conflated close.
  1. 0509B · Zach. 4:14 — Migne: Isti sunt duo filii olei splendoris. Vulg.: isti sunt duo filii olei. The added genitive is not in the received text.
  1. 0509D · Ps. 102:10 — Migne: Domine, non secundum peccata nostra facias nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis. Vulg. is indicative: non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque … retribuit nobis. The plate gives the liturgical petition-form. Material: a statement about what God has done becomes a prayer for what he may do, and Philip's frame (si Deus ad mala … vellet respicere) reads either way, which is precisely why the substitution is invisible.
  1. 0511B · I Petr. 1:7 — Migne: Ut fides vestra multo pretiosior sit auro quod per ignem probatur. Vulg.: ut probatio fidei vestrae multo pretiosior auro… The Vulgate prices the trial of the faith; the plate prices the faith. Philip's argument (gold = the Catholic faith) is built on the plate's shorter form.
  1. 0512C · Isa. 25:1 — Migne: Consilium tuum, Domine, antiquum verum fiat. Vulg.: quoniam fecisti mirabilia, cogitationes antiquas fideles, amen. An entirely different Latin of the verse. Marked with the Vulgate reading only; no conjecture is offered about its origin (Pattern 14 forbids speculating why witnesses differ).
  1. 0512D · Ezech. 17:3–4 (+22–23) — Migne's eagle sentence is a free conflation: Vulg. 17:3–4 has aquila grandis magnarum alarum, longo membrorum ductu, plena plumis et varietate, venit ad Libanum et tulit medullam cedri, and the transport ends in terram Chanaan, in urbe negotiatorum; the placing in monte sancto et excelso belongs to 17:22–23. The whole Marian exposition that follows depends on the mountain, so the join is load-bearing.
  1. 0513D · Gen. 3:15 — Migne: Semen tuum conteret caput serpentis. Vulg.: ipsa conteret caput tuum. The plate's reading is the semen-reading, not the ipsa-reading, and Philip's point (the promise of the coming of the Son) requires the seed. This is the single most consequential divergence in the range.
  1. 0515B · Isa. 11:2 — Migne omits spiritus Domini before spiritus sapientiae et intellectus. Marked because Philip is counting: he needs seven gifts to add to five virtues and reach twelve, and the plate's shorter list gives exactly seven.
  1. 0516C · Apoc. 12:15 — Migne: Et misit draco flumen post mulierem. Vulg.: et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem aquam tamquam flumen. The whole surrounding exemplum is elephant-and-dragon, so the substituted subject is the one the argument needs.
  1. 0517A · Dan. 4:8 — Migne: cujus proceritas pertingebat usque ad coelum, et rami illius dilatabantur usque ad terminos terrae. Vulg. 4:8: proceritas eius contingens caelum, aspectus illius erat usque ad terminos universae terrae — the branches enter only at v. 9. Philip then identifies the branches with the Apostles and quotes Ps. 18 on their sound going out to the ends of the earth: the exposition rests entirely on a word the Vulgate does not have at this verse. Textbook 7a″.
  1. 0517A · Hebr. 4:14 — Migne: Habemus pontificem magnum Christum Jesum qui penetravit coelos. Vulg.: habentes ergo pontificem magnum qui penetravit caelos, Iesum Filium Dei. The christological title is replaced.
  1. 0517C · Eccli. 41:17 (Migne's note reads Eccli. XL., kept verbatim) — Migne: Sapientia occulta et thesaurus absconditus. Vulg.: sapientia absconsa et thesaurus invisus. Both nouns carry a different adjective.
  1. 0517D · Cant. 7:2 — Migne: Venter tuus sicut crater tornatilis. Vulg.: umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis, numquam indigens poculis; venter tuus sicut acervus tritici. The plate has moved the turned bowl from the navel to the belly. Philip adduces it for roundness* (thronus ille rotundus … de virtute in virtutem), which the Vulgate's acervus tritici* would not give him. He is quoting his own base text, the Song — which makes this the most surprising divergence in the range.

Examined and NOT marked (sub-material; recorded so the absence of a marker is evidence)


B. Carried type, defects and unconstruable readings

Marked [sic: …] — carried untranslated (Patterns 7, 10, 12)

  1. 0507B · perficistot convicia a perficis hominibus pertulit. Not a word; conjecture perfidis ("faithless"), near-certain: the whole chapter is about the perfidia Judaeorum and 0508B prints apud perfidos Judaeos correctly. Carried.
  2. 0509A · victuramsculpsit in eis victuram cherubim (III Reg. 6:32). Conjecture picturam, the Vulgate reading. Carried; sits inside an italic lemma, so it takes no second italic marker (Pattern 10) — [sic: victuram], asterisks deliberately omitted.
  3. 0512A · vestitvitEt vestitvit eum auro fulvo nimis. Conjecture vestivit, which the same lemma prints correctly nine columns earlier at 0509A. Inside an italic lemma; no second italic marker.
  4. 0513C · abursi pannus lineus super ipsum abur mittatur. Conjecture ebur, printed correctly three words later (sua virtute ebur pannum … custodit). In roman prose, so italics are kept inside the marker. ⚠ The trap here was ours, not Migne's: the first draft of this chunk rendered abur as "the ivory" — a silent repair of exactly the class Pattern 7a describes, invisible afterwards because the sentence is about ivory. It was caught on the marker sweep and reverted.
  5. *0516B · draeodraeo* quippe, ut ait beatus Augustinus, serpens vel animal est. Conjecture draco, printed correctly in the next clause and throughout.
  6. 0518B · quodidiequae filiis suis … quodidie patefacit regna coelestia. Conjecture quotidie; the work prints quotidiano at 0513A and quotidie at 0518A, so this is a one-off and not an attested variant (Pattern 9 does not cover it).

### Real words that are merely wrong — rendered as ordinary English, no marker Pattern 12's boundary: these can be rendered, so the English word on the page is ours even though the reading is Migne's.

  1. 0507A (×2) · munitum for minutumMultum, inquam, manna istud munitum erat and Valde, inquam, apparuit munitum istud manna. Rendered "fortified" both times. The argument requires minutum: the sentence before it reads manna fuisse minutum describitur, the sentence after glosses se minoravit, and the entire excursus is the etymology minuo → minutum. The literal rendering therefore says the opposite of the argument, and it stands. Translating it "small" would have been the 11547/8625 silent repair with no trace left on the page.
  2. 0506D · per eos for per osquare Spiritus sanctus per eos Moysi prophetae dicat apparuisse minutum. Rendered literally, "says through them to Moses the prophet". Conjecture per os Moysi prophetae, "through the mouth of Moses the prophet" — the very phrase the work prints at 0512A (per os historiographi). The printed genitive Moysi prophetae is left dangling in the English as it dangles in the Latin; no connective was supplied to make it construe.
  3. 0511D · pius for priusVerumtamen pius considerandum nobis est. A nominative adjective where an adverb is required. Rendered "piously"; conjecture prius, "first" (which the paragraph's Superest igitur … Tunc demum … Verumtamen sequence wants).
  4. 0513C · Qui for CuiQui ergo manifeste non clarescit vel tenuiter scienti… Nominative against the dative scienti. Rendered literally ("Who therefore … does not manifestly grow clear, even to one who knows but slightly"); conjecture Cui. This is Pattern 7a mechanism 5 (reference mis-bound), and the negation non is carried.
  5. 0517B · sub terra for subter eamquia sub terra habitant bestiae agri, where the quotation five lines above reads Subter eam habitabant bestiae agri. Rendered "under the earth". The plate contradicts its own quotation of Dan. 4:9 within one paragraph, and the English shows it.
  6. 0504D · efficierisfuturum est, ut … pro nobis homo efficieris: future indicative where futurum est ut requires the subjunctive. Rendered "thou shalt be made"; no English exponent for the mood (Pattern 9 class).
  7. 0512A / 0514B · nominative-for-genitive slips with no English exponentdivinitatis hominem illum quem assumpsit … provexit (for divinitas), and summitatis throni rotunda sit (for summitas). Rendered by sense; there is no emendation to make in English and none to undo (Pattern 9).

Unconstruable — rendered as closely as the printed words allow

  1. 0518AEt nisi ipse Deus homo fieret verus Deus, nullatenus cum Patre et Spiritu sancto pari honore adoraretur. The sentence does not construe: fieret wants one predicate and has two (homo, verus Deus), and the preceding sentence has already used Nisi enim Deus homo fieret in the other direction. Rendered word-for-word — "And unless he himself, God, became man true God, he would in no wise be adored…" — with no connective supplied to smooth it. Probable intent: nisi ipse Deus homo esset verus Deus, "unless this same God-made-man were true God." Escalated rather than fixed.
  2. 0514A–B · floruitIn quinta autem aetate quae erat a David usque ad nativitatem beatae Mariae floruit, quia… Two finite verbs (erat, floruit) in one relative clause. Rendered by taking both with aetate and supplying the connective in brackets — "which was from David unto the nativity of blessed Mary [and] flourished" — so that the supplement is visible as ours.

Punctuation carried against the sense (Pattern 8 — preserved, never repaired)

  1. 0504CIdeo optavi adventum tuum. id est osculum tuum — full stop mid-clause, lowercase continuation. Kept: "…thy coming. that is, thy kiss".
  2. 0506C, 0508AManhu, quod significat. Quid est hoc? The Vulgate's quod significat quid est hoc is one clause ("which means, What is this?"); Migne's full stop cuts significat off from its object. It is printed twice at 0506C and 0508A, both times the same way, so it is the plate's settled punctuation, not a slip in one line. Kept both times: "Manhu, which signifieth. What is this?"
  3. 0517Binfimum in sancta Ecclesia obtinent locum isti vero. veluti spirituales… — no mark where the clause turns, a full stop three words later. Kept exactly: "…obtain the lowest place in holy Church the latter however. as being spiritual…"
  4. 0518ADuae autem manus quae tenent sedile. divinitas et humanitas Christi sunt — full stop for a comma. Kept.
  5. 0512C(si dici fas est!) — exclamation mark inside the parenthesis, kept.
  6. 0507D — the citation (ibid) is printed without a closing period and inside the italic run, not as an [n:]. Reproduced exactly as printed matter, untranslated.

Chunk-boundary defect

  1. 0511B, end of chunk 0008 — the file ends …et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris (I Joan. II. , The citation's parenthesis is never closed, the italic run swallows it, and a bare comma stands after the closing asterisk. Reproduced verbatim, including the orphan comma; no »-style supply and no [ed:], because nothing here is demonstrably lost from the digitization — the text simply breaks at our chunk division and chunk 0009 opens a new head. Per the standing rule on (cont.) boundaries this is ours to merge, not to mend. Flagged for the merge: whoever assembles the work should confirm against 0009 that no words fall between them.

C. Things deliberately NOT reported

Checked and settled, per the known-false-positive list: the missing A-band at 0504 (0503D → 0504B) and the missing 0508-band gaps are positional quarter-guides, not lost text — no anchor in this range breaks a word or a construction. noteCount matches the body exactly in all six chunks (17 / 11 / 10 / 14 / 8 / 14). Every Ibid.-style note ((ibid.) at 0506A, 0507D ×2, 0509A, 0509B, 0512D) resolves to the obvious preceding antecedent and none was touched. No [f: …] tags: this is a lemma-and-gloss commentary, not a florilegium, and Pattern 4's trigger (citation tails as running apparatus) is absent — Philip's citations are all [n:] notes.


Agent 3 of six. Range 0012–0017 straddles the work's quotation-typography seam; see §1, which is the section the merge must read first.


0. Terminology decisions (for the required cross-agent merge)

Set at first occurrence in this range and held throughout it. Where another agent's range fixed a different English for the same Latin, the merge (runbook step 4) must pick one — within a work there is one voice.

Second person (Pattern 17). The whole range is singular except inside plural quotations, and is rendered thou/thee/thy accordingly: the reader addressed in 0012 and 0016 (Quicunque … legis vel audis, Recordari debes, qui haec audis), the Virgin in 0013 (Domina mea), the Bridegroom in 0014 and 0015, Sobna and Pilate in 0016. Plural vos takes you even mid-page: Estote misericordes … Pater vester (0015), Ergo vos elegi de mundo … fructus vester (0015), Dei agricultura estis (0015), Vos qui secuti estis me (0015), Nescitis … ? (0015), Si semen Abrahae estis … vultis me interficere (0016), Vos autem virum homicidam … petiistis (0016), filii vestri in quo ejiciunt (0016), Non regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore … exhibuistis membra vestra (0017). Note 0016's Pilate quotation: Si hunc dimittis, non es amicus Caesaris is singular ("If thou release this man, thou art no friend of Caesar") sitting two lines from the plural Crucifige eum crowd — the number distinction is visible with no apparatus, which is the point of the rule.


1. ⚠ THE TYPOGRAPHY SEAM — where this work changes how it marks quotations

The seam falls between chunk 0013 and chunk 0014, i.e. at the end of the second book and the opening of the third: col. 0523 (the Explicit secundus tomus) / col. 0523B (the INCIPIT TERTIUS TOMUS).

Measured on the Latin twins in this range (body only):

chunkcolsitalic quotations« » pairs
00120518C–0519B30
00130519C–0523151
00140523B–0524D36
00150525A–0528D629
00160529A–0532D321 open / 20 close
00170533A–0537B126

Two further facts the merge needs:

Do not harmonize across the seam at merge time. Chunks 0000–0013 must keep their italics and 0014–0034 their guillemets; the difference is Migne's plate, and Pattern 6 makes it the reader's only cue to what the plate prints.

1a. Unclosed guillemet — 0016, col. 0532C–0532D

The Augustine extract « Sciamus pro certo, quia post ascensionem Domini… opens at 0532C and is never closed; the chunk (and, in the Latin, the paragraph) ends mid-quotation at ad poenam aeternam. Per Pattern 5's corollary the English mirrors the plate: no » supplied. Latin twin: 21 open / 20 close; English: 21 / 20. This is the work's own defect and must not be "fixed" at merge.

1b. Guillemets that swallow the author's own prose — 0015, 0016

Three times in this range Migne opens « on a scripture lemma and closes it many lines later, after Philip's own commentary has run on inside the quotation:

All three reproduced 1:1. They are Pattern 5 cases, and any "quotation count differs" warning downstream is this, not an omission.

1c. [n:] inside the guillemets

In 0015–0017 the note marker almost always falls inside the closing » (e.g. … misericors est [n: (Luc. VI)]. »). Reproduced where it stands, every time.


2. ⛔ VULGATE DIVERGENCES — the deliverable list

Every printed quotation in the range was read word by word against the Vulgate. 34 [var: …] markers fired (0013 ×5, 0014 ×1, 0015 ×10, 0016 ×11, 0017 ×7). Below: first the ones that carry the argument, then the marked remainder, then the divergences judged immaterial and left unmarked (logged so a later sweep is not re-doing the work).

2a. Load-bearing — the exposition rests on the divergent word

  1. 0015 @0525C and again @0528B, and the whole of 0015's closing argument — Zech. IV, 14. Migne prints « Isti sunt duo filii olei splendoris, qui assistunt dominatori universae terrae ». The Vulgate has duo filii olei with no splendoris. This is the single most consequential divergence in the range: at 0528B–0528D Philip builds an explicit argument on it — Sciendum praeterea quod in Zacharia propheta amplius aliquid dicitur quam in Isaia… in Zacharia vero cum additamento, splendoris oleum nominatur — and from that "addition" he derives the Father as the oil, the Son as the splendour of the oil, and a Trinitarian splendor unus. The whole peroration of chunk 0015 is exegesis of a word the received text does not print. Marked at the first occurrence only (0015 @0525C); the later occurrences are the same lemma re-quoted and are unmarked by design.
  2. 0013 @0520A — Ps. XLIV, 7. Migne: « Thronus tuus, Deus, in saeculum saeculi »; Vulg. Sedes tua. The entire chapter is an allegory of Solomon's throne applied to the Virgin, and it is introduced as Tu es ille thronus de quo Psalmista dicit — the proof-text supplies the word only because the plate reads Thronus. Conforming it to Sedes would have voided the proof.
  3. 0013 @0519C — III Reg. X, 18. Migne: auro clarissimo nimis; Vulg. auro fulvo nimis. The gold is glossed as the divinity, and the Virgin is then called omni claritate et splendore solis clariorclarissimo is picked up, fulvo is not.
  4. 0015 @0527C — Prov. XVIII, 10. Migne: ad eam confugiet justus, et salvabitur; Vulg. ad ipsum currit justus et exaltabitur. The gloss that follows is Homines namque ideo ad turrim confugiunt… in qua homines salvantur — both of Philip's verbs come from Migne's reading, and neither from the Vulgate's.
  5. 0017 @0536B — Ezech. XV, 2. Migne: quod pretiosum est prae caeteris lignis silvarum; Vulg. ex omnibus lignis nemorum quae sunt inter ligna silvarum, with no pretiosum. The vine-simile turns on the comparative quanto prius exstitit charior, pretiosior two lines earlier.
  6. 0016 @0532B — Prov. XXXI, 23. Migne: Nobilis in portis vir sanctae Ecclesiae, cum sederit cum senatoribus populi sui; Vulg. vir ejus, quando sederit cum senatoribus terrae. The ecclesial reading is written into the lemma itself, and Philip then observes that Solomon "names them the senators of the people" — a claim true only of this text.
  7. 0015 @0526B — Luc. I, 69. Migne: Erexit cornu salutis in domo David; Vulg. erexit cornu salutis nobis in domo David. Philip's own next sentence reads hoc est cornu salutis quod erectum est nobis — he knows the fuller text; the plate's lemma has lost it.

2b. Marked, material but not load-bearing

2c. Divergences examined and left UNMARKED (immaterial, or not scripture)

Recorded so that a later pass does not have to re-derive them.


3. Carried type, [sic: …] — five instances

Wrapped per Pattern 12; each is verbatim in the Latin twin (verifier check 9).

chunkcolprintedconjecture
00130521AFlius (in in te moratus est Flius Dei)Filius; near-certain
00160532Asubseqnentibussubsequentibus; near-certain
00160532CDomiuus (in Unde Domiuus ipse in Evangelio)Dominus; near-certain
00170534Acuibus (in membra, cuibus nostra anima induitur)quibus; near-certain
00170534CPotera (in Potera namque idem propheta … dicere)Poterat; near-certain. Carrying it leaves the English without a finite verb, which is the plate's own state

Deliberately NOT marked (Pattern 12's boundary — a real word merely wrong is rendered, not carried):


4. Punctuation and capitalization carried from the plate (Pattern 8)

Migne's stops are reproduced, including where they break a sentence. Where the plate prints a full stop followed by a lower-case word, the English keeps the lower case, because that is what makes the misplaced stop visible on our page; this is a per-range convention and the merge should extend or reverse it work-wide, not leave it split.

Migne's own square brackets at 0015 @0527B — [Et plantavit illam electam] — are his, not ours. Reproduced as brackets; the content is translated (unlike [ al., …] variant readings, which stay Latin), because it is a scripture lemma the next clause expounds, not apparatus. Flagged for the merge in case another agent met the same construction.

Marginal page numbers 303 (0012), 304 305 (0013), 306 (0014), 307 308 (0015), 309 310 (0016), 311 312 313 (0017) are printed in italics mid-sentence and are reproduced verbatim in position, untranslated. They are the reason a naive italic-extraction of this work over-counts italic quotations.


5. Passages that do not construe — rendered literally, conjecture here only

  1. 0012 @0518D–0519A. Et quoniam thronus rotundus dicitur fuisse, manifeste indicat quia thronus Dei desiderat esse, omni perfectioni studeat, mentem et linguam corpusque ab omni peccato custodiat. There is no subject for desiderat and no connective before the two jussives: something like quisquis thronus Dei desiderat esse has dropped out. Rendered as printed ("it plainly shows that he desires to be the throne of God, let him strive…"). No word was supplied to make it construe.
  2. 0014 @0523C–0523D — a lost clause, and the most likely real hole in the range. …sicut Petrus dicit: « Qui peccatum non fecit [n: (I Petr. II)] » homines reficit, et Christus nos sanguine et carne sua potat et satiat. The passage is running through the seven natures of oil, one per sentence; homines reficit is the predicate of a new nature ("oil refreshes men") whose subject oleum is missing, so the Petrine quotation and the refreshing clause have been welded together. Rendered exactly as printed. No [ed: …] was fired: Pattern 13 requires demonstrated loss in our digitization, and this cannot be distinguished from a defect in Migne's own plate without the leaf. If a plate check is ever done in this work, this is the column to look at.
  3. 0013 @0522C. Modestiam ipsius, id est religionem quibus praeconiis possumus, ut dignum est attollere, quam scimus… — an anacoluthon (no quibus praeconiis … attollere possumus main clause, and it closes with a full stop, not a question mark, unlike the parallel sentence that follows it). Rendered close and left declarative, per Pattern 8.
  4. 0017 @0537A. Nonnullos enim magnae religionis et satis ardui propositi novi viros, quos utinam non novissem, qui, quandiu licet eis… — the accusative nonnullos … viros never receives its verb; the sentence runs on into a tandiu clause. Rendered as one long sentence with the anacoluthon intact.

6. Negation audit (Pattern 7a)

Every printed non / nec / neque / nisi / nullus / nullatenus / nunquam / nihil / minime / haud in the six chunks appears in the English, and none was added. Two places where carrying it makes the sentence read oddly, and where it was carried anyway:

No silent repair was made anywhere in this range; where a sentence would not construe it is listed in §5 with the conjecture kept out of the text.


7. Notes

All 101 [n: …] markers in the range (0012 ×2, 0013 ×12, 0014 ×8, 0015 ×30, 0016 ×22, 0017 ×27) are citations and stay verbatim Latin. No [nt: …] fired — Pattern 15's prose-note class does not occur in this range; every note is a book/chapter locator, several of them bare (ibid.) whose antecedents were left untouched.


8. Verification state

node scripts/verify-english.mjs 11638 → OK. For this range specifically: column anchors 1:1 and in order in all six chunks (including 0013's plate-order oddity [0523A] … [0524A] … [0523], which is reproduced as printed and is not a defect); note counts 2 / 12 / 8 / 30 / 22 / 27 matching; guillemets 0-0 / 1-1 / 6-6 / 29-29 / 21-20 / 26-26 matching; one ## head per chunk.


Agent 4 stint (cols 0537C–0562B). Filed under the first chunk of the range per the runbook; this file is one input to the required merge-time reconciliation across the six agent stints (translation-style.md, Song-of-Songs ruling, "⚠ THE BOUNDARY" paragraph — within a work, one voice).


1. Terminology decisions made in this range — read these first at merge time

These are the choices a neighbouring stint most likely made differently. Where a peer chose otherwise, reconcile to ONE form across the work; my reasons are given so the merge can adjudicate rather than coin-flip.

LatinMy EnglishWhy
cellaria (Cant. 1:3, the whole lemma of Tomes V–VI)storeroomsThe author glosses cellaria four different ways — the books of the divine law (0022), the virtues (0023), the mansions of the Father's house (0021), the Virgin's womb (0021). A word that can hold books, virtues, mansions and a womb has to be neutral; "cellars" imports wine, "chambers" imports rooms only. Douay's "storerooms" is neutral and already English.
cella vinaria (Cant. 2:4, 0022)wine cellarKept distinct from cellaria precisely because Migne prints a different word; collapsing both to "cellar" would erase the distinction the paragraph turns on.
recti diligunt tethe upright love thee"Righteous" was used in an early draft of the head and corrected: rectus is glossed in 0021 by recti cogitatione, recti locutione, recti operatione — a straightness word, not a justice word (the work uses justus separately, e.g. cornua justi, 0018).
ubera (Cant. 1:3)breastsGlossed by the author as praecepta tua and again as eloquia tua; the gloss only works if the literal word stands.
adolescentulaemaidensFixed at 0019 and held through 0021, 0023.
trahe me post tedraw me after theeHeld identical in all seven occurrences in 0019 and the one in 0020 (the work re-quotes this lemma constantly and the exposition turns on post te).
tomus (as division head)TomeExplicit tertius Tomus / INCIPIT QUARTUS TOMUS / Explicit quartus tomus. Rendered, not carried, per Pattern 9 (structural labels normalize in English while the Latin column keeps the printed form).
torcularwinepressUniform in 0018 and 0023 (the torcular of Isa. 5, of Isa. 63, of Thren. 1, and the "winepress of the soul"); the whole allegory collapses if the same word varies.
filius olei / filii oleison of oil / sons of oilKept literal because the argument in 0018 runs oleum → misericordia → Deus → filii Dei; "children of the anointing" would break every link.
inquilinus / inquiline (of Moses, 0020 and 0023)lodgerSame English in both, though the case differs (nom. 0020, voc. 0023).
pigmentarii (0022)perfumersNot "apothecaries": the whole simile is odour, grinding and decanting.
charitascharityNever "love", to keep dilectio / amor separately renderable — 0023 prints Fortis est ut mors charitas, sive dilectio, where the author himself doubles the two words, and the doublet is unrenderable if both are "love". dilectio = love, amor = love where no contrast is in play but love with the Latin visible in the doublet.
cornu (Isa. 5:1 and Hab. 3:4)hornLiteral throughout; the entire exposition of 0018 is that a horn exceeds the flesh it grows from.
labruscaewild grapesStandard; kept against uvae = grapes.
anagoge (head, 0023)anagogeLeft as the technical term, unitalicized, matching the sense-label vocabulary of the other heads (moralitas → morality, allegoria → allegory).

2. ⛔ Vulgate divergence list — the deliverable

Every printed scripture quotation in 0018–0023 was read word by word against the Vulgate. Marked with [var: …] in the text (material divergence):

Chunk / colMigne printsVulgateNote
0018 @0537DII Petr. 2:21 viam veritatisviam justitiaeThe proof-text is adduced against apostates who abandoned sanctum propositum; "truth" vs "justice" changes what they abandoned.
0018 @0537DIsa. 5:1 facta est charissima dilecto meoVinea facta est dilecto meocharissima is not in the verse; the whole following exposition (facta est vinea ista charissima, id est anima nostra) is built on the added word. This is the clearest 7a″ trap in the range: the familiar verse has no charissima at all.
0018 @0538CHab. 3:5 ibi corruet mors in conspectu ejusante faciem eius ibit morsMigne's death falls down; the Vulgate's goes forth. Opposite motion.
0018 @0539AOsee 2:6–7, second person throughout (sepiam vias tuas, et ibis … dices)third person (sepiam viam tuam spinis … et sequetur amatores suos … et dicet)Person shift, plus pristinum for priorem and melius mihi erat quam modo sit for bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc. Rendered with thou per Pattern 17 — the printed grammar, not the Vulgate's.
0018 @0539BPs. 33:8 Immittet Angelum Dominuset custodiet eosinmittet angelus Domini … et eripiet eosMigne's subject is the Lord and the angel is the object; the Vulgate's subject is the angel. Agency reversed (Pattern 7a mechanism 5) — and keep for deliver.
0018 @0540AEccle. 7:30 hominem simplicem et rectumhominem rectumAdded word, and the sentence is introduced as in libro Sapientiae while the note reads (Eccle. VII) — see §4.
0018 @0541BJac. 5:8 confirmate corda vestra in servitio Dei quoadusque ipse Dominus veniatconfirmate corda vestra quoniam adventus Domini appropinquavitA promise of the Lord's arrival replaced by a command to persevere in his service.
0018 @0542AZach. 4:14 filii olei splendorisduo filii oleiduo dropped, splendoris added; and the author's next move (filii olei = filii Dei) works only without duo.
0018 @0542BI Joan. 3:2 Fratresnondum apparetcarissiminondum apparuitPresent for perfect. Rendered "it doth not yet appear".
0019 @0542CJoan. 6:44 Nemo venit ad me, nisi Pater meus attraxerit eumnemo potest venire ad me nisi Pater qui misit me traxerit eumThe modal drops out and the relative clause is replaced by a possessive; also attraxerit for traxerit, which matters because the whole tome is about attractio.
0020 @0544CGen. 1:1 In principio, inquit Moyses, fecit Deus coelum et terramcreavitThe same chunk prints the same verse correctly with creavit twenty lines later (@0545C, the "unimembris" sentence), and prints Fecit again in the Augustine citation @0545D. So the divergence is internal to Migne's own page, not a slip of my reading. Rendered "made"; the creavit occurrence rendered "created".
0020 @0544DPs. 101:26 Et tu in principio, Domine Deus Pater, hoc in tuo Filio terram fundastiinitio tu Domine terram fundastiA trinitarian expansion absent from the verse — and it is precisely the expansion the argument needs.
0020 @0545DGen. 3:19 Terra es et in terram ibispulvis es et in pulverem reverterisOld Latin form. Material: the whole paragraph turns on Adam being terra, which the Vulgate's pulvis would not supply. Do not conform.
0021 @0547CCant. 7:11 commoremur in silvis, egrediamur in agrumegrediamur in agrum, commoremur in villisBoth the word (silvis / villis) and the clause order differ. Migne's next sentence — licet beatus Ambrosius ipsum agrum interpretetur castellum — shows the author reading a settlement-word into agrum, which is exactly what the Vulgate's villis already supplies; that is evidence his copy read silvis.
0021 @0548CPs. 83:3 concupiscit et desiderat anima meaconcupiscit et deficit anima meaMigne's soul desires; the Vulgate's faints.
0021 @0549AIsa. 64:4 quae praeparasti diligentibus tequae praeparasti exspectantibus te
0021 @0549AMatth. 25:34 percipite regnum quod vobis paratum est ab origine mundipossidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi
0022 @0552BAct. 13:22 David servum meum filium Jesse, qui facit omnes voluntates measDavid filium Iesse virum secundum cor meum qui faciet omnes voluntates measMigne's servum meum is imported from Ps. 88:21, which the author quotes in the very next sentence — the two proof-texts have been assimilated to each other on the page. Present for future as well.
0022 @0553ALevit. 19:18 Diliges amicum tuum, et odio habebis inimicum tuumdiliges amicum tuum sicut temet ipsumThe second clause is not in Leviticus at all; it stands at Matth. 5:43 as the saying of them of old. Migne's note nevertheless reads (Levit. XIX). The author's whole antithesis (old law vs. new law) depends on the clause being Levitical — so the divergence carries the argument.
0023 @0556BIsa. 53:5 et ejus morte nos salvati sumuset livore eius sanati sumusDeath for bruise, saved for healed.
0023 @0559ANum. 14:19 secundum multitudinem misericordiae tuaesecundum magnitudinem misericordiae tuae
0023 @0559CI Reg. 12:23 Absit hoc peccatum a me in Domino … et ostendam vobis viam bonam per quam incedere debeatisabsit … hoc peccatum in Dominum … et docebo vos viam bonam et rectamAblative for accusative (the sin is in the Lord rather than against him), and a different second clause.
0023 @0560DPs. 80:11 Aperi os tuumDilata os tuumAnd the sentence closes with a printed ? — see §3.
0023 @0562BPs. 33:19 Humilis tantummodo spiritu salvabituret humiles spiritu salvabitActive→passive, plural→singular, and tantummodo ("only") is added — the word on which the whole closing argument rests (vera salus non nisi in humilitate sacra acquiritur).

Divergences observed and deliberately NOT marked (immaterial to sense; logged so a later sweep does not re-open them): 2 Petr. 2:22 word order ad vomitum suum / ad suum vomitum · Cant. 5:8 Nuntiate dilecto meo, quia amore ejus langueo for ut nuntietis ei quia amore langueo · Cant. 7:12 fructus claritatis et bonae operationis parturiunt (the author's own gloss taken up into the quotation) · Jer. 15:19 word order · Joan. 15:4 non valet fructificare for non potest ferre fructum a semet ipso · Cant. 5:6 ut Dilectus meus mihi locutus est for ut locutus est · Amos 1:3 non convertam without eum · Jer. 31:3 miserans tui · Joan. 12:32 traham ad me without ipsum · Joan. 8:25 Ego principium qui loquor vobis (the patristic form, universally so cited) · Gen. 1:2 tenebrae erant · Gen. 1:2 Tenebrae erant super abyssum without faciem (the author's own next sentence restores faciem) · Gen. 2:7 Fecit for formavit, Dominus dropped · Gen. 3:10 Audivi, Domine, vocem tuam · Cant. 6:1 heavy compression · Cant. 2:4 Introduxit me rex · II Reg. 12:13 Peccavi Domino, ora pro me and the expanded Nathan reply · I Reg. 24 / 26 conflation and rewording throughout David's two speeches · II Reg. 2:6 pro opere quod fecistis in eo for quoniam fecistis verbum istud · II Reg. 1:17–27 re-ordered: Migne runs vv. 24, 23, 21, 22, 19/27 in that sequence, and prints abiit for rediit and robusti et nobiles et egregii viri for fortes · Apoc. 1:5 lavit sanguine suo without nos a peccatis nostris · II Reg. 18:33 quis mihi det for quis mihi tribuat · Exod. 32:31 peccatum maximum for magnum, Domine added, educ for duc · II Reg. 24:17 oro for obsecro · I Reg. 16:1 abjecerim for proiecerim · Cant. 8:6 Fortis est ut mors charitas, sive dilectio (author's doublet) · Ps. 118:131 attraxi Spiritum sanctum at 0023 where 0019 prints Spiritum and the author himself supplies subauditur sanctum — the plate is inconsistent with itself across four columns, and both readings are rendered as printed.


3. Plate defects, carried type, and punctuation carried under Patterns 7–8, 10–12

Carried type — [sic: …], two instances only:

Misplaced quotation marks — reproduced 1:1 in place, per Pattern 5's corollary. All three are Migne's, not ours:

Punctuation carried under Pattern 8 (preserve, never supply, never delete):


4. Readings that will not construe — rendered as printed, conjecture here only

Pattern 7a: none of these is repaired in the running text.


5. Reference observations — recorded, no correction proposed

Per the standing rule (refDisplay keeps what Migne prints), none of these is altered and no citation-corrections.json entry is implied.


6. Marker counts, verified against the Latin twin

chunkcols[n:]«»heads[var:][sic:]
001820242626190
00198966211
002014151919130
002112181313140
002218202323120
002328322627151

Column anchors match the Latin twin sequence exactly, in order, including the out-of-sequence runs that are Migne's own: 0019 opens [0541] … [0541C] … [0542C] (the third-tome colophon sits at 0541 while the fourth tome's body begins at 0541C), and 0020 closes [0547A] … [0548A] … [0547] (the Explicit quartus tomus colophon is printed at 0547 after text at 0548A). Both are the known false-positive class 1 — band arithmetic, not a break.

0023's guillemet asymmetry (26 open / 27 close) is Migne's and is present identically in the Latin twin; see §3.

7. Pattern 17 (second person) — how it was applied here

Singular addressees, all rendered thou/thee/thy: the auditor (0019 @0542C, 0020 @0544D, 0022 @0551D and @0554C, 0023 @0558B), Moses apostrophized (0020 @0544C, 0023 @0558C), the individual conversus (0018 @0541C), God/Christ addressed by the Bride and the maidens throughout 0021, David's interlocutors in 0022, and every scriptural tu (Osee 2, Jer. 15, Gen. 3:19, Ps. 80:11, I Reg. 24 and 26, Exod. 32, II Reg. 24, I Reg. 16, Luc. 19:42).

Plural addressees, rendered you/your: Zach. 2:8 Qui tangit vos, Joan. 15:4 nisi in me manseritis, Jac. 5:8 Patientes et vos estote, Luc. 21:19 In patientia vestra, Matth. 25:34 quod vobis paratum est, Joan. 16:22 Gaudium vestrum, Matth. 5:44 Diligite inimicos vestros (both occurrences), II Reg. 2:5–6 Benedicti vos, II Reg. 1:24 Filiae Israel … cultui vestro, I Reg. 12:23 orare pro vobis, Matth. 10:20 Spiritus Patris vestri, and 0023 @0555D's cum fratribus vestris.

The two are adjacent within single sentences more than once (0022 @0554C, above); in every such case both were carried rather than levelled.


PL 203, coll. 0561–0574. Agent 5 of 6. Range: the close of Book V (0024) and the whole of Book VI (0025–0029), which expounds Cant. 1:4–5 (Nigra sum, sed formosa) four times over — allegorically of the Church, of the flesh of Christ, of our nature, then secundum moralitatem of the soul, and finally of the blessed Virgin.


1. Terminology decisions (for the merge — reconcile against the other five agents)

The lemma of Cant. 1:4–5 recurs some forty times in this range, in fragments. One English form was fixed for each fragment at first occurrence and never varied:

MigneEnglish
Nigra sum, sed formosa"I am black, but comely"
filiae Jerusalem / filiae Hierusalem"O daughters of Jerusalem"
sicut tabernacula Cedar"as the tents of Cedar"
sicut pellis Salomonis"as the skin of Solomon" (singular — see §2.1)
Nolite me considerare quod fusca sum"Do not consider me that I am swarthy"
quia decoloravit me sol"because the sun hath discolored me"
Filii matris meae pugnaverunt contra me"The sons of my mother have fought against me"
Posuerunt me custodem in vineis, vineam meam non custodivi"They have set me keeper in the vineyards, my vineyard I have not kept"

Other fixed equivalents in this range:


2. Vulgate divergences — the deliverable list

Every quotation printed in the range was read word by word against the Vulgate. Fifteen divergences were judged material and carry a [var: …]; the rest are recorded here without a marker.

2.1 Marked [var: …]

  1. 0563A — Cant. 1:4, sicut pellis Salomonis (Vulg. sicut pelles Salomonis, plural). The most load-bearing divergence in the range, and the reason this chunk exists: from 0563B to 0564A Philip builds an argument out of the singular. He says he can find pellis Salomonis written nowhere else in either Testament, raises it as a quaestio magna, and resolves it by the figure a parte totum — one skin standing for the whole skin-built tabernacle at Gabaon. A plural "curtains/skins" would leave nothing to explain. The English is singular everywhere the Latin is singular, including in the recapitulations at 0565D, 0569A, 0570A, 0572B.
  2. 0562C — Prov. XVII, « Sicut igne probatur aurum, sic justos probat tribulatio tentationum. » Not the Vulgate's Prov. 17:3 (quomodo igne probatur argentum et aurum camino, ita corda probat Dominus) at any point: the subject, the object and the verb all differ. Cited as Prov. XVII notwithstanding; the reference is left as printed.
  3. 0563C — Exod. XXV, « Vide, inquit, ut tu facias tabernaculum secundum formam illius tabernaculi quod in monte vidisti. » Vulg. Exod. 25:40 is inspice et fac secundum exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est; Migne's wording is nearer Hebr. 8:5 but is not that either (tabernaculum is supplied twice).
  4. 0563D — I Par. XVII, arca Dei est in medio pellium. Vulg. 1 Par. 17:1 has arca foederis Domini sub pellibus est. Material because the whole inference — that Moses' tabernacle was made of skins — is drawn from this clause.
  5. 0563D — Psal. LXVII, « Ascendens Christus in altum, captivam duxit captivitatem. » Attributed to David, but Ps. 67:19 reads ascendisti in altum, cepisti captivitatem; the printed wording is Ephes. 4:8, with the name Christus added, which stands in neither.
  6. 0564D — Act. XX, lupi graves, qui non parcent vobis. Vulg. Act. 20:29: lupi rapaces … non parcentes gregi. Two changes, and the second moves the object of the sparing from the flock to the hearers.
  7. 0566B — Rom. V, per obedientiam unius justi constituentur multi. Vulg. Rom. 5:19: per unius oboeditionem iusti constituentur multi, where iusti is the predicate of multi ("many shall be made just"). In Migne the word has migrated into the genitive phrase and become "of one just man", leaving multi with no predicate at all. Rendered as printed ("many shall be constituted"), which is awkward English and is meant to be: the printed clause is incomplete. This is the range's purest 7a″ trap — the familiar English ("many shall be made just") arrives instantly and would silently restore a word the plate does not carry.
  8. 0566D — Gen. III, « Si de fructu vetito comederitis… » The Vulgate's serpent says in quocumque die comederitis ex eo; "of the forbidden fruit" is not in Gen. 3:5 in any form.
  9. 0567B — Luc. VIII, « Sole orto aruerunt. » Luc. 8:6 reads natum aruit; sole orto belongs to Matt. 13:6, where the verb is aestuaverunt. Migne's clause is a fusion of the two and stands as such in neither.

Also marked, in the same class:

  1. 0566A — Joan. XVII, claritate quam habui antequam mundus fieret. Vulg. 17:5 has the accusative claritatem … priusquam mundus esset apud te. The ablative changes the construction ("with the brightness") and apud te is gone.
  2. 0565C — Joan. XII: « Videtis quia nihil proficimus, ecce totus mundus post ipsum vadit. Si dimittimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum. » Sentence 1 is Joan. 12:19 but with totus mundus … vadit for mundus totus … abiit; sentence 2 is Joan. 11:48, under the single citation (Joan. XII).
  3. 0566B — Luc. XIII, relinqetur (future) for the Vulgate's present relinquitur.
  4. 0570D — Thren. III, plural Oculi mei depraedati sunt for the Vulgate's singular oculus meus depraedatus est. Marked because the exposition immediately following is plural (infelices oculi … depraedantur et oppugnant) and so rests on the printed number.
  5. 0571A — Matth. XII, Ex ore tuo justificaberis, et ex ore tuo condemnaberis. Vulg. 12:37: ex verbis tuis. Material and marked because the entire paragraph is about the mouth (os nostrum … os nostrum nos justificat), and the Vulgate's "words" would leave the proof-text arguing something adjacent to the point.
  6. 0571B — Eccli. XIII, « Sicut qui tangit picem ab ipsa inquinatur, sic qui tangit uxorem proximi sui, immundus prorsus efficitur. » Only the first limb is Sir. 13:1; the Vulgate's second limb is qui communicaverit superbo induet superbiam. The clause about the neighbour's wife is Prov. 6:29 in substance and stands nowhere in Ecclesiasticus.

(Count as filed: 0025 ×6, 0026 ×3, 0027 ×3, 0028 ×3 = 15 markers.)

2.2 Divergences logged but NOT marked (minor: no change of sense)


3. Defect markers fired

No [d: …] (no dittography found) and no [ed: …] (nothing lost in the digitization) in this range.


4. Guillemet defects in the plate — reproduced, not repaired (Pattern 6 / Pattern 5 corollary)

Three unbalanced runs. All are Migne's, all are mirrored exactly, and each is why this range's guillemet counts are odd in the verifier's output.

  1. 0565A (chunk 0025) — an opening « never closed. « Ite, docete omnes gentes [n: (Matth. XXVIII)]. Sed tunc vineam suam non custodierunt… runs on into Philip's own narrative and to the end of the chunk without a closing mark. Latin «11 »10; English «11 »10. Per the Pattern 5 corollary the missing » is not supplied.
  2. 0568D (chunk 0028) — a closing » with nothing to close. « Fuistis aliquando tenebrae, » id est peccatores; « nunc autem lux, » id est justi, in Domino [n: (Ephes. V)]. » — two openings, three closings. The stray third mark is reproduced where it stands. Latin «12 »13; English «12 »13.
  3. 0572D (chunk 0029) — a closing » with no opening. Exsulta et lauda, habitatio Sion [n: (Isa. XII)], » id est Ecclesia de gentibus congregata… The Isaias quotation is printed unopened. Latin «3 »4; English «3 »4.

Also worth recording, because it looks like an error and is not:

Pattern 5 instances (an attribution verb inside the quotation, translated in place and left inside): 0563C « Vide, inquit, ut tu facias… »; 0566B « Vinea autem Domini exercituum, sicut dicit Isaias, domus Israel est. »; 0571A « Ex ore tuo, inquit, justificaberis… ». None was broken around an English speech tag.


5. Other cruces


6. Second person (Pattern 17)

Singular addressees take thou/thee/thy, plural you/your, decided by the Latin morphology alone:

No case in the range required a judgment call: every second person is morphologically unambiguous.

Agent 6 of 6 (the end of the work: 0034 is the final chunk). PL 203, coll. 0573B–0584D. This file is one of six to be merged; it opens with the terminology decisions so the merge can reconcile them.


1. Terminology decisions made in this range (for the merge)

LatinEnglish fixed hereNote
Sponsa / Sponsusthe Bride / the Bridegroomagrees with the rest of the work (46 × "Bridegroom" corpus-wide)
meridies, in meridie, meridiana luxthe midday · at midday · the midday lightfixed; the whole seventh book is an exposition of in meridie as a name of the Father, so "noon"/"noonday" must NOT be introduced by the merge

specula (Sion glossed)kept in italic Latin at both printed occurrences, glossed "watchtower" in the sentence that expounds itSong-ruling case 2: the gloss IS the etymology
soliloquium vs colloquium/collocutiosoliloquy vs colloquy/conversekept distinct; 0032 and 0034 tell the same Moses/Sinai story with different nouns, and the difference is the plate's
rigatio / roratiowatering / bedewingkept distinct in 0032
divina Scriptura, Scripturae divinae legisHoly Scripture (Pattern 3)merge item: the rest of the work carries 7 × "divine Scripture" and 2 × "holy Scripture". Pattern 3 requires Holy Scripture; my range is already conformed, the other five ranges are not.
debriatur / debriataeis made drunkattested medieval form of inebriatur; Pattern 9, no marker
apellati (0032, col. 0579A)translated normallysingle-p apellare is attested medieval orthography; Pattern 9, no [sic:]

Second person throughout follows Pattern 17: tu/tuus → thou/thy; vos/vester → you/your. The two places where the number changes inside a page are deliberate and are the rule's payload:


2. Markers fired

ChunkMarkerColumnReading
0034[sic: praeter missis]0584CPattern 10 split type for praetermissis. The whole broken run is carried, spacing included; the ablative absolute is left standing on the carried participle. Conjecture: Multis igitur auctoritatibus praetermissis, "many authorities being passed over" — which is certainly what the sentence means, since the next clause brings forward "one sufficient authority alone."

[d:], [ed:], [nt:]: none fired. No dittography in the range; nothing in the digitization is lost against what the plate carries; every [n:] in the range is a bare citation, none is editorial prose.


3. ⛔ The Vulgate divergence list — the deliverable

Every printed quotation in 0030–0034 was read word by word against the Vulgate. 17 [var:] markers fired; the divergences that were logged but left unmarked are listed after.

Marked [var:] — material divergences

0030 (2)

  1. 0573C, Coloss. II, 9 — Migne: in ipso omnis plenitudo divinitatis inhabitat. Vulg.: in ipso inhabitat omnis plenitudo divinitatis corporaliter. The word order is inverted and corporaliter is absent. Marked because the missing word is the one Col 2:9 is normally adduced for.
  2. 0573D, Joan. I, 14 — Migne: Vidimus eum quasi unigenitum a Patre. Vulg.: et vidimus gloriam ejus, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre. Migne's object is Christ himself, not his glory, and unigenitum is accusative to match. Philip's argument (the topaz "shines with every colour," i.e. Christ is adorned with every virtue) rests on seeing him, so the divergence is load-bearing.
  3. 0575A, Psal. VIII, 6 — Migne adds a vocative Domine the Vulgate does not print. Marked because the added vocative turns a description into an address.

0031 (6)

  1. 0575A–B, the lemma itself — the chapter head and the first re-quotation print Cant. 1:6, ne vagari incipiam post greges sodalium tuorum; the second re-quotation, twenty words later, prints Ne forte vagari incipiam per greges sodalium tuorum. ⚠ This is the range's most important reading: the author re-quotes his own lemma with a different preposition and an added forte, and then expounds vagari. Both forms are rendered as printed and neither has been conformed to the other.
  2. 0575B, Matth. XVI, 13–14 — Migne: Quem dicunt homines esse hominis Filium? Responderunt discipuli: Alii Eliam, alii Jeremiam…. Vulg.: …esse Filium hominis? At illi dixerunt: Alii Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero Jeremiam…. John the Baptist is dropped from the list of mistaken identifications — and the list is precisely what the topaz/chrysolite exposition is counting.
  3. 0576A, Joan. XVII, 21 — Migne: Pater, volo ut sicut tu es in me…. Vulg.: ut omnes unum sint, sicut tu, Pater, in me, et ego in te…. Recast as a first-person volition.
  4. 0576A, Joan. XIV, 9–10 — Migne: videt et Patrem meum, non credis quia ego in Patre et Pater est in me [full stop, not a question]. Vulg.: videt et Patrem… Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Three divergences at once: meum added, plural → singular, question → statement. Punctuation follows the plate (Pattern 8): the English is a statement.
  5. 0576B, Isa. XVIII, 4 — Migne: Quiescam in loco meo, et considerabo quasi meridiana lux. Vulg.: Quiescam, et considerabo in loco meo, sicut meridiana lux clara est. Migne's word order attaches in loco meo to quiescam, and the next four sentences of commentary interrogate exactly that phrase (Quid est ergo quod dicit in loco meo quiescam?). Conforming to the Vulgate here would have destroyed the exposition.
  6. 0576B, Isa. XXVIII, 12 — Migne: Haec est requies mea, refice lapsum. Vulg.: Haec est requies mea… reficite lassum. Singular imperative for plural, and lapsum "the fallen" for lassum "the weary." The very next sentence glosses peccatorem lapsum … exhortamur — the commentary is built on lapsum, and the familiar "refresh the weary" would have left it unsupported. This is the range's clearest 7a″ trap.
  7. 0576C, Isa. LXVI, 2 — Migne: Super quem requiescam, nisi super humilem et quietum, et trementem verba mea? Vulg.: ad quem autem respiciam, nisi ad pauperculum et contritum spiritu, et trementem sermones meos? An Old-Latin/LXX-shaped form (LXX ἐπὶ τὸν ταπεινὸν καὶ ἡσύχιον). It is adduced under the heading Quae est ergo requies Dei — the divergent verb requiescam is the whole reason the verse is here.
  8. 0576D–0577A, II Cor. V, 10 — Migne: ut recipiat unusquisque prout gessit. Vulg.: ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit.

0032 (5)

  1. 0578D, Isa. IX, 2 — Migne: Populus gentium qui ambulabat in tenebris. Vulg. has no gentium; the commentary immediately reads it as populis gentium.
  2. 0579A, Ephes. III, 17 — Migne: in cordibus nostris. Vulg.: in cordibus vestris. A person change, and the gloss that follows continues in the first person plural.
  3. 0579C, Ezech. XVIII, 23 — Migne: Nolo mortem peccatoris. Vulg.: nolo mortem impii; and the whole passage is about the peccator.
  4. 0579D, "Ezech." (ibid.)Peccator quacunque hora ingemuerit, salvus erit is not in the Vulgate at all, at Ezekiel or elsewhere; it is the medieval adage drawn from Ezech. XXXIII, 12. Marked, because a reader who checks the citation will find nothing there.
  5. 0580A, Heb. VI, 7 — Migne: Terra bibens desuper venientem imbrem, et fructificans opportunam, ab his, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem. Vulg.: Terra enim saepe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo. Note opportunam is left with no noun to agree with — rendered "what is seasonable," not silently supplied with "herb."
  6. 0580C, I Joan. II, 15 — Migne prefixes Filioli (from I Joan. II, 12/18) and prints si quis dilexerit mundum for Vulg. si quis diligit mundum.

0033 (5)

  1. 0580D, Gen. III, 19 — Migne: « Terra es, et in terram ibis. » Vulg.: pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris. ⚠ The single most important divergence in the range. The entire second half of the seventh book is an exposition of terra — "we ourselves are earth," the earth given to the serpent for food, the earth that yields her fruit. On the received Vulgate text the argument has no proof-text at all. A conformed "dust thou art" would have been smooth, correctly cited, verifier-clean, and would have destroyed the chapter.
  2. 0581A, Eccle. VII, 30 — Migne: Deus fecit hominem simplicem et rectum. Vulg.: quod fecerit Deus hominem rectum. The gloss immediately splits the two words (simplicem, ut malum nunquam faceret, rectum autem, ut…), so simplicem cannot be dropped.
  3. 0581C, Joan. XVII, 3 — Migne: ut cognoscant te, et quem misisti Filium tuum unum et verum Deum esse. Vulg.: ut cognoscant te solum Deum verum, et quem misisti Jesum Christum. A doctrinally loaded recasting: Migne's form predicates "the one and true God" of the Son. Rendered as printed.
  4. 0582A–B, Psal. CI, 26 — Migne: Et tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti. Vulg.: Initio tu, Domine, terram fundasti. The next sentence turns on it: Filium autem Dei Propheta hic principium appellat.
  5. 0582C, Isa. XXVIII, 21 — Migne: Opus ejus alienum fuit ab eo, ut faceret opus suum, prius fecit opus alienum. Vulg.: ut faciat opus suum, alienum opus ejus: ut operetur opus suum, peregrinum est opus ejus ab eo. Philip himself calls the words valde obscura and says they cannot easily be found in the other prophets — which is a fair description of a text that is not the Vulgate's.

0034 (1)

  1. 0584B–C, Psal. XLIV, 11 — Migne: Intellige, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam. Vulg.: Audi, filia. Woven, unguilleted, into the Father's speech; rendered "Understand, O daughter."

Logged, NOT marked (immaterial or word-order only)


4. Textual cruces — printed readings rendered literally

  1. 0575D (0031), quamvis. Tu me deprecaris quamvis remota omni ambiguitate te certificem ubi…quamvis ("although") will not construe with the ut-sense the sentence needs; ut is the obvious conjecture. Rendered "that, although with all ambiguity removed I should assure thee where…", i.e. as printed. No emendation.
  2. 0575D (0031), pascor for pascam. Christ's answer prints the passive in meridie pascor et accubo where the lemma, the question, and the parallel answer in 0032 (in meridie pasco et accubo, col. 0578A–B) are all active. Rendered "at midday I am fed and lie down" in 0031 and "at midday I feed and lie down" in 0032 — the two are deliberately different because the plate is. Do not harmonize them at merge.
  3. 0576B (0031), aurae. quare se comparat meridianae luci plus quam aurae vel alteri horae diei? — in a list of hours of the day, aurorae ("dawn") is the near-certain intention; aura ("breeze") is a real word and is rendered as printed ("the breeze"), per Pattern 7 and the requiescere faciam boundary. No marker (a real word merely wrong is not [sic:] matter).
  4. 0578A (0032), Respondeat ergo justum est Christus. An unconstruable run: an impersonal justum est dropped inside the jussive. Rendered "Let Christ therefore answer — it is just — to holy Church"; conjecture Respondeat ergo (justum est) Christus or Respondeat ergo ut justum est.
  5. 0578D–0579A (0032), et sicut coeperunt. …in cordibus eorum est plantata et radicata, et sicut coeperunt in se Christum habere habitatoremsic is expected. Rendered "and as they began to have Christ as an indweller."
  6. 0575C (0031), eam for cultum. cultum solius divinitatis ab omnibus sanctis removeat, et eam soli Deo … attribuat — feminine pronoun for a masculine antecedent (adorationem understood). Pattern 9: gender has no English exponent, "attributes it"; no marker, no churn at merge.
  7. 0581A (0033), postquam for per quam. rectitudinem mentis quam a Deo acceperat, et postquam ipsi soli placere debuerat … intorsitper quam is the sense required. Rendered "and after which he ought to have pleased him alone," as printed. The whole period is anacoluthic (the quia clause never reaches its verb before juxta Dei dispensationem actum est takes over) and is rendered as printed, including the shift to possit at the end.
  8. 0583C (0033), insensibile spiraculum vitae. Rendered "the insensible breath of life." Odd of Gen. 2:7; possibly insensibiliter or insensibili. Rendered as printed, no marker.
  9. 0583D–0584A (0033), redemit without an object. Filius ejus Dominus Jesus Christus sanguine suo redemit — the object is supplied in square brackets, "redeemed [thee]," on the ~95-instance corpus precedent for supplied English words.
  10. 0584D (0034), refertur. Daniel propheta … memoria abundantiae suavitatis Spiritus sancti refertur … Christum montem interpretaturrefertur cannot be "is reported" here, because the sentence's finite verb is interpretatur; read as refertus (est) / refercitur, "is filled." Rendered "is filled with the memory of the abundance of the sweetness of the Holy Spirit." Conjecture logged, no emendation and no marker (a real word merely wrong).

5. ⚠ The unclosed guillemet at 0579D (0032) — mirrored, not repaired

Migne prints:

Moyses namque dicit: « Concrescat ut pluvia doctrina mea, et fluat ut ros eloquium meum [n: (Deut. XXXII)]. Isaias quoque ait ad Dominum: « Quia ros lucis, ros tuus [n: (Isa. XXVI)]. »

The Moses quotation is opened and never closed, and the sentence attributing the next quotation to Isaiah is swallowed inside it. Per Pattern 5's corollary the missing » is not supplied: the English opens where Migne opens and closes where Migne closes, so chunk 0032 carries 15 « against 14 » in both twins, exactly as the plate does. verify-english.mjs check 7 passes on this because it counts against the Latin twin, not against balance. Do not "fix" this at merge.

6. (cont.) heads

0031, 0033 and 0034 carry (cont.) on a repeated ## head. It is our chunk-boundary artifact, left untranslated and unmarked; the builder merges these. The head of 0031 also prints a stray space before the closing italic asterisk (sodalium tuorum *.) — reproduced.

7. Verification
