Analecta

Various Authors — 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 →

Col. 0316A — Malmundariu II

Printed: in quibus Malmundariu II et Stabulense in Ardennae finibus

Inside the Brouwer quotation. Malmundariu II is broken type: the intended reading is Malmundarium (Malmedy), the truncated -u plus a stray II apparently a foul-case reversal of the final m (or a dropped ligature). Rendered literally as printed (Malmundariu II) rather than silently emended; the sense is "Malmedy and Stavelot within the bounds of the Ardennes."

Col. 0318A — Leodio o to fere leucis horariis

Printed: dissita Leodio o to fere leucis horariis

o to is broken type for octo ("eight"): the monasteries lie about eight hours' leagues from Liège. The c has dropped out and the word split. Rendered literally as o to in the English, with the intended reading noted here rather than emended into the text.

Col. 0316C — Silva autem Uriacuise

Printed: Silva autem Uriacuise ad vicum Ures infra Bullonium pertigerit, aut potius Viracuise legendum

Not an error to log against Migne — the Bollandist author himself flags the form as doubtful and proposes Viracuise. Both forms kept verbatim as printed; noted here only so the apparent oddity is not re-flagged later.
