SAINT WALBURGA
211
the red chapter headings on 34r24, 34 and 34v8, 20, 36 have faded to such an
extent that they are now virtually illegible. For deciphering those that are leg-
ible or partly legible, I am indebted to Mariane Overgaard and Jonna Louis-
Jensen. Ólafur Halldórsson was of assistance regarding the reading of some
of the faded letters in the margin of the manuscript. Finally, it should be noted
that the chapter headings all appear immediately after and on the same line as
the conclusion of the previous miracle. The text of the new miracle begins on
a new line but continues on the previous line in the space left between the
chapter title and the margin. The only exception is the last miracle, where the
chapter title fills the space between the last word of the previous miracle and
the margin.
