Stephen,
Thanks for this tip. I should have mentioned, I guess, that I silently
expanded all the truncations in my transcription. Now for the big
question though. Can anyone identify these quotes? I checked Cetedoc and
turned up nothing; I don't have access to a searchable PL. Also, this is
the text, at least as I have it, in its entirety, and there is nothing
else in the manuscript remotely connected to it. It appears after some
antiphonal leaves, all of which were seemingly added in the binding
process to protect the sermon texts of the manuscript.
Any and all comments, suggestions, and speculation are most welcome.
Thanks,
Clint
