that neither text is dependent on the other. MS. H2 is often
corrupt to a degree not shared by MS. D.
a. That MS. D does not have its origin in MS. H2, is evident
from lines interpolated in Hv that are not to be found in D, e. g.
between 4 and 5; 138,139; 160,161; 322,323; from transpositions
of Z72 alone, 111, 112 ; in the omissions not shared by D, lines 11,
12; 197, 198; 295—300; 309, 310; and in revised readings, lines
108,133, 283, 323, 328, 378. In Z72 lines 829—1034 of the original
text are wanting, and a false conclusion not extant in D appears in
place of lines 1022—1034. D is complete in this part of the poem,
preserving the true conclusion shared by A1 and R of the opposing
group. These two MSS. differ also in the following instances, where
MS. D has often preserved the correct reading :
