medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This is negative evidence, but might be of interest: Gilbert of
Poitiers regularly mentions common variants of psalms verses in his
commentary. Usually, but not always, these variants can be accounted
for by one or another of the versions mentioned by this learned list;
others reflect his sources (Cassiodorus, eg). Some are just mysterious
and must reflect local usage (?); this is early 12C so no
standardization can be expected (by us or, clearly, by Gilbert!). I
checked three mss of his commentary on Psalm 122, but unfortunately this
variant you mention (ie ad manus) is not included.
My guess would be the same one ventured several times already: it's a
gloss by BA, not a variant...

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Thanks for that, George--I lack a lot of Biblical background
and
knew of the Vetus latina but had not run across a Vetus itala until
now.
I was just googling it and deciding they were probably the same, just
that
I did not know the other term or why the edition changed the term.
Still, it would be odd for Barthol. Anglicus in the 13th
century
to be reading anything but Jerome, glossed or not, would it not? He
lectured cursorily in Paris on the "whole Bible" briefly, but what
little
I've picked up on such lectures indicates they would not be textual
studies comparing pre-Jerome versions with Jerome.
I'm one of those of the opinion that he did much/most of his
encyclopedia out in the sticks of Magdeburg, where he was sent to run
the
Franciscan studium, and it is less likely he had a good library there,
but
I've yet to read Bert Roest's most recent book on Franciscan
education.
Biblical sources so far are pretty close, but tend to omit or change
details; this Psalm bit is the first time I saw Barthol. add anything,
and
it just looks strange.
