PREFACE OF THE EDITOR

is already proven by the fact that on p. 41, 15, it does not omit the twelve words annis — his ducentis years — these two hundred, which fell out in N when the scribe wandered from one annis to the other. But there are those who contend that such things are filled in by scribes or those most learned and sharp-witted abbots out of their own invention. Although one could oppose them by saying it seems by no means credible that they filled longer gaps with the very same words that are handed down in other codices—to the point that they would have stumbled upon those very words domi luctatus est he struggled at home and, in a parenthesis that was so difficult, Italiae dare caput to give a head to Italy, which are read in B and for which it is obvious many other things could have been substituted—yet, lest I be argued to have tried to solve the question in only one place, I will add these others:
