1r1 Miserre...egi] text omitted between lines 8 and 9, added at top of page
by scribe. Miserre an error for miserere.
1v23 has] added above the line.
1v29 Enarrauit] with large, red E. the space at the end of the line contains
a faded, red chapter title: De ana[stasio spirit]al[i] p[res]b[i]t[ero].

A comparison of the twelve Latin manuscripts listed above, as well as the
unedited manuscript Brussels, Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, cod. sign.
9636–7 [11th c.]=B2, reveals that there are no major textual deviations,
especially considering their geographical and chronological distribution.
the Latin leaf from Iceland agrees with now one, now the other. rarely
does Lbs fragm 74 stand alone in omitting a word: te (1v13), noster et mag-
nus (1v30) (although space has been left for it), or changing a word or its
position: signaculum for signum (1r21) (all mss. use signaculum some seven
sentences later), bonus pastor (1r37) (rev. all other mss.), ad for in (1v3) (with
B2), habentes for habente (1v20). Although no single manuscript stands out
as being closest to Lbs fragm 74, several vie for that position. Among the
few salient examples:
