Sources

Primary sources Text editions and/or modern translations – in whole or in part – along with publications containing additions and corrections, if known. Diplomatic editions, facsimiles and digital image reproductions of the manuscripts are not always listed here but may be found in entries for the relevant manuscripts. For historical purposes, early editions, transcriptions and translations are not excluded, even if their reliability does not meet modern standards.

Concerning this section in the recensions which he calls R¹, Min, R² and R³, Macalister writes that it “has suffered modification in translation from the original Latin and in subsequent transmission [...] and in consequence two versions R¹ and R², differing widely, have come into being. [...] The version [of this section] in Min need not detain us: it does not differ essentially from R¹. We turn now to R³, which in this section is very clumsy and awkward patchwork, based upon the two earlier versions, with the addition of some extraneous matter. [...] The close relationship of his [the compiler's] MS of R¹ (*Q), to F, observed in the preceding section is here maintained.”
