medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The Medtextl database server http://www.mun.ca/mst/medtext/ was down
but we got it fixed. Here's what Marchand posted, below my sig.
Gosh! Was it really that long/short ago? Ah, the good, old days,
pre-spam etc. But let us not wane rhapsodic about gopher.
Elsewhere, I read this morning (when I should've been working), a fire
destroyed the plates of this first edition, and some publishing house
helped to recreate them; however, the word the PLD put out is that the
recreated plates (=2nd ed) had errors not in the originals, hence the
earlier prints are to be preferred. No doubt there would be a
discussion of this in R. Howard Bloch's _God's Plagiarist: Being an
Account of the Fabulous Industry and Irregular Commerce of the Abbe
Migne_ (Univ. of Chicago Press, 1994).

: From: James Marchand <[log in to unmask]>
: Subject: Live and learn
: Juris and I have been going round and round privately as to where Jerome's
: comment on Mt. 13:8 occurred. I kept telling him and he kept not finding it.
: I could not attribute this to my klutzitude (quod absit, Latin for perish
: forbid), so I figured Juris had left an oar out of the water, but he was
: adamant, and he finally found the passage in PL 23.223 instead of PL 23.213
: as I had suggested. What to do? I looked up the Adversus Iouinianum in
: Dekkers-Gaar, 2d ed (no. 600), and they agreed with me in indicating that
: it was found PL 23.211-338, but here is the Kern der Sache: they offered in
: parentheses the information (221-352). On p. xxvii they explain: PL =
: Patrologia Latina, edid. J. P. Migne, i-ccxii, Paris, editio prior, 1844-
: 1864 [numeris uncis inclusis ad editionam alteram reuocantur lectores "the
: numbers in parentheses refer the reader to the second edition"]. I had
: somehow never encountered the problem before and did not realize that there
: were two editions of Migne and that it sometimes made a difference. Now I
: can keep Juris as a friend and have a conversation piece at medieval cocktail
: parties. Live and learn! Verbum sat.
