20 Sit modo sollerti pagina versa manu ;
Praeterea parcat citius qui forte movetur
Pagina quod sordet pumice rasa diu.
At quicumque legens eadem scribensve probasti
Die ' mercedis ei sit, bone Christe, polus;
Ignoscas etiam Rigulfo sponte precamur [corr. scriptori)
Nam nunquam melius scripserat ille librum '. {corr. Nam melius nullum)
So Rigulfus was the scribe. And the author of this poem
was the corrector of the MS.; and it is the author's own hand
which has penned the marginal alterations of this poem. And
the MS. was written at the order of-- whom? The Prefect
of the Vaticana applied a re-agent to the erased ending of
the first line, but all that we could see (or seem to see) was
a double name ...z f... , and even the final z and the open-
ing f were not free from doubt.
Notes: 3. So the corrector was a young man, still depen-
dent on his magister. 6. i. e quilibet insignis ab arte. 7. The
last word is rather Gen. than Voc 13-14. i. e. deletion is
practised by the corrector (1) of torso-sentences, (2) of inser-
tions, (3) of repetitions. The first practice is alarming. II
the transcriber ruined a sentence by omitting a part, did the
corrector complete the ruin by deleting the rest of the sen-
tence? I did not find any example of this recklessness in this
MS. On the contrary, there were many long supplements of
omissions.
19. The fourth quire is indeed crowded with corrections,
some of them very radical; ex. g. neque isti pedes sed animae
ille quidem meditantes is corrected to neque isti -bedes tantum
sed insuper animae illi qiridem ut meditentur.
J. An old Recipe for Gold and Silver Script-
The Liber Glossarum or Glossarium Ansileubi, that enorm-
ous dictionary-encyclopaedia of Charlemagne's time, contains
(s. v. Liber) an old recipe for gold script. Perhaps this item
comes (as others certainly do) from Isidore's Liber Artium.
It is labelled in the MSS. (P = Paris lat. 11529-30, L = Vat.
Pal. lat. 1773) with his name.
(LI 158) Libri vocantur a libertate legentium; remotis
enim olim ab hoc officio servis, solis tantum liberis studium
