### Capitulum X. *De passione Christi quantum ad exitum passionis.*

De *exitu* autem passionis Christi et *fructu* haec indubitanter tenenda sunt, quod anima Christi post passionem descendit ad infernum sive ad limbum, ad liberationem non omnium, sed eorum qui inter membra Christi decesserunt per - fidem vivam, vel per fidei Sacramenta. — Post haec *tertia die resurrexit* a mortuis resumendo corpus, quod prius vivificaverat, sed non tale, quale prius fuerat; quia prius fuit passibile et mortale, postquam autem resurrexit, impassibile et immortale, vivens perpetuo. — Deinde post quadraginta dies ascendit ad caelos, ubi, super omnem creaturam exaltatus, sedet ad dexteram Patris[^p251-1]. Quod dictum intelligitur non quantum ad situm, qui non competit Deo Patri, sed quantum ad excellentiam bonorum, quia residet in potioribus bonis Patris. — Postremo, interiectis decem diebus, misit in Apostolos promissum Spiritum sanctum, per quem congregata est Ecclesia gentium et ordinata secundum diversas distributiones officiorum et gratiarum.

Ratio autem ad intelligentiam praedictorum haec est: quia, sicut Christus in quantum Verbum increatum perfectissime omnia formavit, sic in quantum incarnatum omnia perfectissime reformare debuit. Decet enim perfectissimum principium opus non dimittere citra perfectum, debuit ergo reparatorium principium redemptionis humanae remedium perducere[^p251-2] ad perfectum. Ad hoc autem, quod esset perfectissimum, oportuit, quod esset *sufficientissimum* et *efficacissimum*.

Quia ergo *sufficientissimum*, ideo se extendit ad *caelestia*, *terrestria* et *infernalia*. Quia ergo per Christum sunt *infernalia* recuperata, *terrestria* remediata, *caelestia* redintegrata; ita quod primum horum fecit per *veniam*, secundum per *gratiam* et tertium per *gloriam*: ideo post passionem anima *descendit* ad inferos ad liberandum in inferno detentos; deinde *resurrexit* a mortuis ad vivificandum in peccatis mortuos; *ascendit* ad caelos reducendo captivitatem[^p251-3] ad redintegrandum Ierusalem caelestem; *misit Spiritum sanctum* ad aedificandum Ierusalem terrestrem. Quae omnia necessario consequuntur et exiguntur ad sufficientiam reparationis humanae.

Rursus, quia remedium illud fuit *efficacissimum* tam in eos qui Christi adventum *praecesserunt*, quam in eos qui *sequuntur*, qui tamen ad ipsum Christum accesserunt et accedunt et eius membra fuerunt et sunt; tales autem sunt qui adhaerent ei per fidem, spem et caritatem: ideo remedium illud efficaciam habere debuit primo in eos qui in Christum crediderunt, credendo speraverunt et sperando amaverunt; ac per hoc statim debuit ad inferos *descendere* ad ipsorum liberationem. Unde aperta ianua caeli per Christi passionem, qui satisfaciendo amoverat rhomphaeam[^p251-4] mutando sententiam divinam eripuit de inferno omnia membra sua.

Debuit etiam habere efficaciam praecipuam in eos qui Christi adventum *sequuntur*, ut attrahendo ad *fidem*, *spem* et *caritatem* tandem ad gloriam perduceret caelestem. Ut igitur *aedificaret ad fidem*, qua credimus Christum verum hominem et verum Deum, qua etiam credimus, eum voluisse nos redimere per mortem et ad vitam nos reducere posse per resurrectionem; ideo voluit *resurgere* ad vitam immortalem, interiecto tamen spatio temporis debito, scilicet triginta sex horarum; in quo ostenditur, quod vere mortuus fuit; nec magis accelerare debuit, ne, si citius resurgeret, crederetur, quod non vere mortuus fuisset, sed se mortuum finxisset; nec amplius differre, ne, si semper iaceret in morte, crederetur impotens, et quod nullos posset ad vitam revocare; ideoque *resurrexit tertia die*[^p251-5].

Amplius, ut *erigeret ad spem*, ad caelestem *ascendit* gloriam, quam speramus. Sed quia spes non oritur nisi ex fide immortalitatis futurae; ideo non statim ascendit, sed spatio quadraginta dierum interiecto, in quo per multa signa et argumenta veram astrueret resurrectionem, per quam animus solidaretur in fide et sublevaretur ad sperandam gloriam caelestem[^p251-6].

Postremo, ut *inflammaret ad caritatem, misit ignem Spiritus sancti* in die Pentecostes. Et quia nullus hoc igne impletur, nisi qui petit, quaerit et pulsat cum instanti et importuno spei desiderio; ideo non statim post ascensionem misit, sed decem dierum spatio interiecto, in quo discipuli ieiunantes, orantes et gementes disposuerunt se ad Spiritus sancti susceptionem. — Ac per hoc, sicut debitam servavit horam in *patiendo*[^p251-7], sic in *resurgendo*, sic in *ascendendo* in caelum, sic in *mittendo Spiritum sanctum*, et propter fundationem trium virtutum praedictarum et propter multa mysteria, quae in his temporibus implicantur.

<!-- page 252 -->

Et quoniam Spiritus sanctus, qui caritas est et per caritatem habetur, est omnium origo charismatum; ideo, cum descendit Spiritus sanctus, effusa est plenitudo charismatum ad corpus Christi mysticum consummandum. Et quia diversa membra debent esse in corpore perfecto et diversorum membrorum diversa officia et exercitia et diversorum officiorum diversa charismata; hinc est, quod *uni datur per Spiritum sermo sapientiae, alii sermo scientiae, alii fides, alii gratia sanitatum, alii operatio virtutum, alii prophetia, alii discretio spirituum, alii genera linguarum, alii interpretatio sermonum; quae omnia operatur unus atque idem Spiritus, dividens singulis, prout vult*[^p252-1], secundum suam liberalissimam providentiam et providentissimam largitatem.

### Chapter X. *On the passion of Christ as regards the outcome of the passion.*

Now concerning the *outcome* of the passion of Christ and its *fruit* these things are to be held beyond doubt: that the soul of Christ after the passion descended to hell, or to the limbo, for the liberation not of all, but of those who had died among the members of Christ through a living faith, or through the sacraments of faith. — After these things, *on the third day he rose again* from the dead, taking up again the body which he had before given life to — yet not such as it had been before; for before it was passible and mortal, but after he rose again, impassible and immortal, living perpetually. — Then after forty days he ascended to the heavens, where, exalted above every creature, he sits at the right hand of the Father[^p251-1]. Which saying is understood not as regards position, which does not belong to God the Father, but as regards the excellence of goods, because he abides in the more excellent goods of the Father. — Lastly, ten days having been interposed, he sent into the Apostles the promised Holy Spirit, through whom the Church of the gentiles was gathered together and was ordered according to the various distributions of offices and of graces.

Now the reason for the understanding of the foresaid is this: since, just as Christ, in so far as he is the uncreated Word, most perfectly formed all things, so in so far as he is incarnate he had most perfectly to re-form all things. For it befits a most perfect principle not to leave a work short of the perfect; therefore the reparatory principle had to bring the remedy of human redemption through[^p251-2] to the perfect. And for this, that it should be most perfect, it was required that it be *most sufficient* and *most efficacious*.

Since therefore it was *most sufficient*, therefore it extended itself to things *heavenly*, *earthly* and *infernal*. Since therefore through Christ things *infernal* were recovered, things *earthly* remedied, things *heavenly* restored — so that the first of these he did through *pardon*, the second through *grace* and the third through *glory* — therefore after the passion the soul *descended* to the lower regions to liberate those detained in hell; then he *rose again* from the dead to give life to those dead in sins; he *ascended* to the heavens, leading back captivity[^p251-3], to restore the heavenly Jerusalem; he *sent the Holy Spirit* to build up the earthly Jerusalem. All which things follow necessarily and are required for the sufficiency of human reparation.

Again, since that remedy was *most efficacious* both toward those who *went before* Christ's coming and toward those who *follow*, who nevertheless have come and do come to Christ himself and have been and are his members — and such are they who cling to him through faith, hope and charity — therefore that remedy had to have its efficacy first upon those who believed in Christ, and believing hoped, and hoping loved; and through this it had at once to *descend* to the lower regions for their liberation. Hence, the gate of heaven having been opened through the passion of Christ, who by making satisfaction had removed the flaming sword[^p251-4], by changing the divine sentence he snatched out of hell all his members.

It had also to have its chief efficacy upon those who *follow* Christ's coming, so that by drawing them to *faith*, *hope* and *charity* it might at last bring them through to the heavenly glory. In order therefore that he might *build up unto faith*, by which we believe Christ to be true man and true God, by which we also believe that he willed to redeem us through death and is able to lead us back to life through the resurrection; therefore he willed to *rise again* to immortal life, an owed space of time having nevertheless been interposed, namely of thirty-six hours; in which it is shown that he truly died; nor ought he to have hastened it more, lest, if he rose again too soon, it should be believed that he had not truly died but had feigned himself dead; nor to have deferred it longer, lest, if he lay always in death, he should be believed powerless and unable to recall any to life; and so *he rose again on the third day*[^p251-5].

Further, that he might *raise up unto hope*, he *ascended* to the heavenly glory which we hope for. But because hope does not arise except from faith in a future immortality, therefore he did not ascend at once, but with a space of forty days interposed, in which through many signs and arguments he might establish the true resurrection, through which the mind might be made firm in faith and lifted up to hope for the heavenly glory[^p251-6].

Lastly, that he might *inflame unto charity, he sent the fire of the Holy Spirit* on the day of Pentecost. And because no one is filled with this fire except him who asks, seeks and knocks with an urgent and importunate desire of hope; therefore he did not send at once after the ascension, but with a space of ten days interposed, in which the disciples, fasting, praying and groaning, disposed themselves for the reception of the Holy Spirit. — And through this, just as he kept the owed hour in *suffering*[^p251-7], so in *rising again*, so in *ascending* into heaven, so in *sending the Holy Spirit*, both on account of the founding of the three foresaid virtues and on account of the many mysteries which are enfolded in these times.

And since the Holy Spirit, who is charity and is had through charity, is the origin of all the charisms; therefore, when the Holy Spirit descended, the fullness of the charisms was poured out for the consummating of the mystical body of Christ. And because diverse members ought to be in a perfect body, and of diverse members diverse offices and exercises, and of diverse offices diverse charisms; hence it is that *to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, to another faith, to another the grace of healings, to another the working of powers, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of speeches; all which things one and the same Spirit works, dividing to each severally, as he wills*[^p252-1], according to his most liberal providence and his most provident largesse.

translators_notes:
**★★ PAGE SPAN — pp. 250–252, BOTH ENDS FIXED POSITIVELY FROM A DISPLAY HEADING.** `Cap. X. / De passione Christi quantum ad exitum passionis.` stands **part-way down p. 250's RIGHT column**, immediately below Cap. IX's last line (`…tanquam per medium efficacissimum liberatus.`), exactly where `bon-brev-p4-c9` fixed it, so there was **no incoming body-text seam to reconstruct**; the heading, its subtitle, its two body lines and its `Thesis 1.` gloss were all re-read here on p. 250's band. Cap. X gets **only those two lines** on p. 250 and breaks across the leaf on a **STRANDED PREPOSITION GOVERNING NOTHING** (`…quod anima Christi post` / `passionem descendit ad infernum`) into the head of **p. 251's LEFT column**; fills that column entire to `…qui tamen ad`; crosses p. 251's gutter on **a SECOND STRANDED PREPOSITION** (`ad` / `ipsum Christum accesserunt`); fills p. 251's right column entire to `…sic in *resurgendo*, sic in`; breaks across the leaf on **a THIRD STRANDED PREPOSITION** (`in` / `ascendendo in caelum`) into the head of **p. 252's LEFT column**; crosses p. 252's gutter **MID-WORD AND HYPHENATED** (`diversorum mem-` / `brorum diversa officia`); and closes **about ten lines down p. 252's RIGHT column** at `…secundum suam liberalissimam providentiam et providentissimam largitatem.` **★ The end is fixed POSITIVELY from the full-width `PARS QUINTA. / De gratia Spiritus sancti.` display heading standing immediately below it, followed by `Cap. I. / De gratia, in quantum est donum divinitus datum.`** Cap. X touches no left column on p. 250 and no right column below the display heading on p. 252.

**★★ WHERE `PARS QUINTA` FALLS, AND WHAT IT DID TO p. 252's GUTTER.** `PARS QUINTA` falls on **p. 252**, not p. 251 — `bon-brev-p4-c9`'s estimate ("p. 251's right column at the very earliest and more probably p. 252") was right on its second alternative. It is a **full-width display heading crossing the gutter**, set below Cap. X's short two-column tail and above Pars V Cap. I's two columns. **It destroyed four of the sixteen re-profiling windows outright** — the 25–55 %, 15–45 %, 10–45 % and 12–40 % windows returned 1245/332 px, 1257/309 px, 1257/310 px and 1245/333 px, runs five times the sound width and values ~150 px off. **This is the pp. 201/219 failure mode occurring at a PART opening, which method note 9 said was a warning and not a guarantee** — `PARS QUARTA` crossed p. 241's gutter without breaking anything. So the note stands corrected in one direction only: **a part opening CAN break the measurement, and whether it does depends on where the heading sits relative to the measured rows.** Here it sits high enough that the default body window (45–92 %) misses it entirely and measures Pars V's two columns cleanly. **The Pars V agent should expect no repeat of this on p. 253.**

**★★ THE RUNNING HEAD IS ONE UNIT AHEAD FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE LEAF — AND p. 251 IS THE FIRST CORRECT ONE IN THE PARS.** p. 252's head reads `BREVILOQUII PARS V. C. I.` on a page whose top ten lines of both columns are still Pars IV, Cap. X — one unit ahead, like pp. 241, 248, 249 and 250. **p. 251's head reads `PARS IV. C. X.` and the page is Cap. X entire, top to bottom: the only running head in Pars IV that is simply right, and it is right only because no boundary falls on the page.** The "behind" direction still has no attestation anywhere in Pars IV. No claim in this chunk rests on a head; the `Cap. X.` heading and the `PARS QUINTA` display heading, both read on bands, are what closed the span.

**★ THREE STRANDED PREPOSITIONS IN ONE CAPITULUM — A SEVENTEENTH BREAK SHAPE, AND THE FIRST TIME A SHAPE HAS REPEATED WITHIN A UNIT.** Cap. X's p. 250/251 leaf break falls after `post`, its p. 251 gutter crossing after `ad`, and its p. 251/252 leaf break after `in` — **three consecutive breaks, each on a preposition with no object at all on its own column or leaf.** Cap. IX's leaf break was the first of the kind (`…invitat et informat ad`); Cap. X does it three times running. p. 252's gutter then breaks **mid-word and hyphenated** inside `membrorum` (`mem-` / `brorum`). **A tail that is not even a complete phrase is now the commonest shape in this pars, and it still carries no information: every one of the four continues.**

**★ THE PAGE MARKERS SIT AT THE NEAREST PARAGRAPH BOUNDARY BELOW EACH BREAK.** The p. 250/251 break falls inside the opening thesis paragraph, which runs from p. 250's right column across the leaf and closes on p. 251 at `…officiorum et gratiarum.` — so `<!-- page 251 -->` sits at that paragraph's end, and **all three of p. 251's left-column anchors (nn. 1–3) stand BELOW the marker while the whole of Cap. X's p. 250 text stands above it.** The p. 251/252 break falls inside the closing `Ac per hoc` period, so `<!-- page 252 -->` sits at that period's end and **p. 252's n. 1 anchors below it.** **Ninth consecutive occurrence of the paragraph-boundary rule. The page-qualified labels absorb it; do not move a marker to chase an anchor.**

**Gutters.** **p. 250 = 1390**, carried from `bon-brev-p4-c9` and re-confirmed visually here on its surviving bands. **p. 251 was extracted and auto-measured FRESH, with no constant.** `colcrop.py vol5 251` returned **`split_x=1160, low-ink run 61 px`** — unflagged, and 61 px sits inside the 58–64 px band that marks a sound measurement on this volume. It was nevertheless re-profiled over **sixteen** row windows: 45–92 % **1160/61** · 50–85 % **1160/62** · 50–92 % **1160/61** · 55–80 % **1160/62** · 60–90 % **1159/62** · 45–80 % **1160/62** · 35–75 % **1160/62** · 15–85 % **1159/59** · 20–80 % **1159/60** · 30–70 % **1160/62** · 40–65 % **1160/62** · 20–60 % **1159/60** · 25–55 % **1159/60** · 15–45 % **1158/61** · 10–45 % **1157/59** · 12–40 % **1157/59**. **All sixteen fall within 3 px (1157–1160) and every run is 59–62 px; the body-row windows agree at 1159–1160 and only the four topmost windows drift to 1157–1158.** ★ **The per-column ink profile was printed anyway, per the standing rule, AND THE OBSTRUCTION IS STILL THERE — FOURTH CONSECUTIVE LEAF.** Over the body rows the blank gutter runs **x = 1130–1190** (61 columns at 1–2 rows of ink) with a **narrow ink island standing INSIDE it at x = 1158–1162**, peaking at **943 rows of ink at x = 1160** against 1 on either side of the island's shoulders. **The midpoint of the full blank band 1130–1190 is 1160 and the island's own peak is 1160 — the two agree exactly, which is why the windowing did not fork as it did on pp. 248 and 249: as on p. 250, the island sits at the band's CENTRE.** Adopted **1160** and confirmed visually on all six bands. **p. 252 was likewise extracted and auto-measured fresh**: `colcrop.py vol5 252` returned **`split_x=1403, low-ink run 55 px`**, and the sixteen windows split cleanly in two — **nine body-row windows agreeing at 1399–1405 on runs of 54–59 px, and the four upper-page windows destroyed by the `PARS QUINTA` display heading** (1245/332 · 1257/309 · 1257/310 · 1245/333). Its ink profile shows a blank band **x = 1373–1430** (58 columns at 2–4 rows) with an island at **x = 1399–1405** peaking at 428 rows at x = 1404; the band's midpoint is 1401.5 and the body windows' median is 1403, **so here the island sits slightly OFF centre and the two methods differ by 2 px** — immaterial for the crop, and **1403** was adopted and confirmed visually. Series now 1194 · 1337 · 1211 · 1341 · 1210 · 1331 · 1209 · 1338 · 1200 · 1338 · 1228 · 1361 · 1186 · 1367 · 1201 · 1345 · 1209 · 1391 · 1182 · 1390 · **1160** · **1403**. ★ **p. 251's 1160 is 22 px BELOW the lowest odd value previously seen (1182) and p. 252's 1403 is 12 px ABOVE the highest even value previously seen (1391): the last leaf of Pars IV pushes BOTH clusters outward at once. Parity was already spent as a predictor; this leaf shows the clusters are not even bounded by what has come before. Measure every page.**

**Apparatus (8 entries), ownership from anchors on the bands.** This chunk owns **the whole of p. 251 nn. 1–7** and **p. 252 n. 1 alone**. Every anchor was read on the band at 450 dpi; there was no hand-off to adopt from, and the raw's anchor glyphs were treated as a hint only (see the raw-quality verdict below, where p. 252's raw drops the n. 1 anchor entirely).
- p. 251 n. **1** on `sedet ad dexteram Patris`¹ — **LEFT** column, closing the *Thesis 3* member (the ascension), with the `Thesis 3.` gloss standing four lines above.
- p. 251 n. **2** on `remedium perducere`² — **left** column, on the last word before `ad perfectum`, which is what the entry requires: it records that edition 1 reads `per remedium ducere` at exactly that phrase.
- p. 251 n. **3** on `reducendo captivitatem`³ — **left** column, on the italic Psalm tag inside the *Arguitur ex prima* period.
- p. 251 n. **4** on `amoverat rhomphaeam`⁴ — **RIGHT** column, on the word the whole entry glosses, closing the *Pro thesi 1* paragraph.
- p. 251 n. **5** on `resurrexit tertia die`⁵ — **right** column, on the italic scriptural tag closing the *Pro thesi 2* paragraph.
- p. 251 n. **6** on `gloriam caelestem`⁶ — **right** column, on the last words of the *Pro thesi 3* paragraph.
- p. 251 n. **7** on `in patiendo`⁷ — **right** column, on the first member of the fourfold `sicut … sic … sic … sic` recapitulation, six lines above the column foot.
- p. 252 n. **1** on `dividens singulis, prout vult`¹ — **left** column, **inside the italic I Corinthians quotation and before the closing comma**, on its last word.

**★★ p. 251's THREE LINES AND WHAT THEY DO.** p. 251's anchors divide **3 / 4** across the gutter (nn. 1–3 left, nn. 4–7 right). Its footer blocks divide **3½ / 3½**: the left block carries nn. 1–3 **and the opening of n. 4**, and the right block opens with **n. 4's unnumbered continuation** before running nn. 5–7. **So the block line falls INSIDE the note whose anchor stands FIRST in the second column — the p. 248 configuration exactly, and the second instance of it.** The capitulum line does not fall on the page at all: p. 251 is Cap. X entire. Adding to the catalogue: overrun (pp. 220, 221, 226, 233, 239) · underrun (pp. 234, 237) · coincidence (pp. 231, 232, 235, 240, 246, 247) · split-inside-a-note (pp. 236, 238, 240, 243, 244, 248, 249, 250, **251**) · both at once (p. 239) · split by PARS (p. 241, **252**) · split by CAPITULUM (pp. 242–249) · anchor/block mismatch of one note (p. 243, **251**) · of two notes with the block break below the anchor break (p. 244) · above it (pp. 245, 250) · a page whose footer opens unnumbered yet whose anchors and blocks still coincide (p. 247) · a page whose block split falls inside the note whose anchor stands first in the second column (pp. 248, **251**) · a page whose block split falls inside a note whose anchor is already in the second column (p. 249) · a page on which a capitulum boundary falls but the whole register belongs to the outgoing capitulum (p. 250) · **and p. 252, a page whose register is split by a PARS boundary in the proportion 1 / 5, the most lopsided division in the pars, with the outgoing work holding a single note.**

**★★ WHAT IS FORWARDED INTO PARS V.** **p. 252's register is SIX notes and only n. 1 anchors in Cap. X.** **`p. 252 nn. 2–6 are forwarded to `bon-brev-p5-c1` as a PENDING**, all five anchoring in Pars V, Cap. I:
- n. **2** — `Iac. 1, 17. — Seq. locus est Apoc. 22, 1: Et ostendit mihi fluvium aquae vitae splendidum tanquam crystallum, procedentem de sede etc. — Inferius verba *perficitur et* desiderantur in aliquibus codd., in Vat., 1 et 3.` **LEFT** footer block. Anchor position **verified**: on `quod descendit a Patre luminum`², closing the *Thesis 2* period, since the entry names Jas. 1, 17 (*descendens a Patre luminum*) and then points *forward* to the Apocalypse verse the next lines quote.
- n. **3** — `Cfr. supra pag. 225, nota 6.` **LEFT** block. Anchor position **verified**: on `animam purgat, illuminat et perficit`³, the *Effectus decem* member.
- n. **4** — `Cfr. II. Sent. d. 26. q. 1. seq. — A pluribus codd., ut B C I M, omittitur *dicitur et*.` **RIGHT** block. Anchor position **verified**: on `recte dicitur et debuit appellari`⁴, at the head of p. 252's right column.
- n. **5** — `Ut ostensum est supra p. II. c. 9, et seq. propositio exposita est p. IV. c. 1. seqq. — Inferius pro *reparavit ad salutem* [2 cum pluribus codd. addit *aeternam*] C I Q U et 1 *reparaverit ad salutem*, ac subinde pro *consistit* D E I *consistat*.` **RIGHT** block. Anchor **NOT verified — this is an inference**: it should fall on `capacem beatitudinis aeternae`⁵ in the *Ratio*'s first period, because that is where the raw sets an anchor glyph and because the entry's `Inferius pro reparavit ad salutem` requires `reparativum` to stand below it. **Re-derive it.**
- n. **6** — `I M *beatificativae*.` **RIGHT** block. Anchor **NOT verified**: the raw and the band both put it on `conformem beatissimae`⁶ in the *Triplex conformitas* paragraph, which the entry's own variant (`beatificativae` for `beatissimae`) requires. **Re-derive it.**
**★ Following the discipline method note 7 rewards: the ownership of all five is certain (they anchor in Pars V text), the COLUMN of all five is verified on the band, the POSITION of nn. 2–4 is verified, and nn. 5–6 are declared inferences with the constraint that produced them stated.** Every digit and siglum above was read at 450 dpi but **must be re-derived, not adopted.**

**Runover findings — TWO NEGATIVES CLOSED, ONE POSITIVE CLOSED FROM BOTH SIDES, ONE NEGATIVE CLOSED FOR A PAGE THIS CHUNK ONLY PARTLY OWNS.**
- *Page-crossing, p. 250 → p. 251 — **NEGATIVE**, and CLOSED HERE FROM THE p. 251 SIDE, as owed.* `bon-brev-p4-c9` established that p. 250's right block ends **complete** at n. 9 (`…Superius post mortua est A addit semper.`) with clear white paper below it, and left the p. 251 side open because p. 251 had not been imaged. p. 251's left footer block was read **from its first character at high zoom** and opens **NUMBERED**: `¹ Cfr. Marc. 16, 19. et Act. 1, 1. seqq.` The test is closed negative from both sides and is logged as a negative on this chunk's ledger line.
- *Gutter-crossing within p. 251 — **POSITIVE**, run from both sides here, at a WORD BOUNDARY THAT SPLITS A WORK'S TITLE.* p. 251's left block breaks off **inside n. 4**, at `…etc. Iuxta August., Enarrat.` — a clean word boundary, but one that stops **between a Father's name-plus-work and the psalm it is enarrating**, so the title *Enarratio in Psalmos* is itself cut in half by the gutter. p. 251's right block opens **UNNUMBERED**: `in Ps. 149, 6. n. 12, et Isidor., XVIII. Etymolog. c. 6, rhomphaea (graece ῥομφαία] et framea et spata significant gladium bis acutum; cfr. Eccli. 21, 4. et Apoc. 2, 12. — Vide III. Sent. d. 18. a. 2. q. 3. — Post aperta H I O Q V addunt est…` — then `⁵ Epist. I. Cor. 15, 4.` **The join is verified four ways.** (a) The grammar completes and cannot stand otherwise: `Iuxta August., … et Isidor., …` is a paired citation whose second member is in the continuation and whose first is a bare `Enarrat.` governing nothing. (b) No numeral stands anywhere in the continuation. (c) The continuation's subject — *rhomphaea … significant gladium bis acutum* — is precisely what the broken half's *flammeum gladium* introduces, and n. 4's own anchor is the word `rhomphaeam`. (d) **The strongest check, the one p. 248 n. 5 earned and p. 250 n. 3 confirmed, applies here in a new form: the citation had to land on a verse that says what the entry claims, and it does — Ps. 149, 6 is *gladii ancipites in manibus eorum*, "two-edged swords in their hands", which is the *gladium bis acutum* the continuation defines.** Rendered joined under the p. 251 n. 4 label. **Logged as `p.251 n.4:gutter` on this chunk's ledger line.** ★ **This is the FIRST runover in Pars IV to break inside a work's TITLE rather than inside a quotation, a lemma or a phrase — a thirteenth kind in thirteen leaves.**
- *Page-crossing, p. 251 → p. 252 — **NEGATIVE**, closed here from BOTH sides.* p. 251's right block ends **complete** at n. 7 (`…Aliquanto superius edd. repletur pro impletur.`) with clear white paper below it, and p. 252's left block opens **NUMBERED**: `¹ Epist. I. Cor. 12, 8-11.` **Logged as a negative on this chunk's ledger line.**
- *Gutter-crossing within p. 252 — **NEGATIVE**, closed here from both sides although only n. 1 of that page is owned here.* p. 252's left block ends **complete** at n. 3 (`Cfr. supra pag. 225, nota 6.`) and its right block opens **NUMBERED**: `⁴ Cfr. II. Sent. d. 26. q. 1. seq.` **Logged as a negative on this chunk's ledger line so that `bon-brev-p5-c1` does not re-log it. The p. 252 → p. 253 page-crossing test is NOT run here — p. 253 has not been imaged — and is forwarded to `bon-brev-p5-c1`,** exactly as `p4-c8` and `p4-c9` forwarded theirs.
- *p. 250's own gutter-crossing (positive, inside p. 250 n. 3) and the p. 249 → p. 250 page-crossing test (negative) were both closed and logged by `p4-c9` and are NOT re-logged here.*

**Digits and sigla settled off the bands** (450 dpi; both registers re-read under direct high-factor zoom, and every upright compared against a same-line or same-entry contrast before being recorded). **★ This chunk had NO hand-off to check against and NO inherited note to anchor it — every one of the eight entries is a first reading. Four raw readings are corrected here, and for once none of them is in the `3`/`5` class.**
- **★★ `H I O Q V` (p. 251 n. 4's continuation) — A FIX AGAINST THE RAW, WHICH GAVE `IIIOQV`, AND ALL THREE SIGLUM RULES AGREE.** At maximum zoom the first form is **two full-height uprights joined by a low, thin bar reduced almost to a shadow**, and the second is **a single upright with slab serifs top and bottom**. **(a) Stroke count: one upright is NEVER `H`, so the second glyph is `I`; two uprights may be `H`, so the first may be.** **(b) Alphabetical position decides between the survivors: `H I O Q V` is alphabetical, while `I I O Q V` repeats a siglum and is impossible in this apparatus.** **(c) The grammar `Post aperta <witnesses> addunt est` requires witnesses, and `II` is not a witness anywhere here.** **Twelfth instance of the crossbar-reduced `H` in six pages, and the first in which the raw ran the `H` and the `I` together into a single undifferentiated run of three strokes.**
- **`B H` (p. 251 n. 5) and `E I M O S` (p. 251 n. 1) — the same test, run twice more, and BOTH read clean in the raw.** `B H` sets two uprights **with a full crossbar** — the alternating form method note 11 records; `E I M O S` sets a **single** upright between `E` and `M`, which rule (a) settles outright as `I`, and alphabetical order confirms. **Set beside each other on one page, the crossbarred `H`, the crossbar-reduced `H` and the bare `I` all appear in p. 251's register — three forms, one page, and only the stroke count and the alphabetical slot separate them.**
- **★★ `1` (EDITION) vs `I` (ROMAN) — p. 252 n. 1 SETS THE TIGHTEST CONTRAST IN PARS IV, ON ONE LINE, AND THE RAW GOT IT RIGHT ONLY BY ACCIDENT.** The entry opens `Epist. I. Cor. 12, 8-11.` — a **symmetric slab-serifed roman `I`** for the epistle, then two **flagged arabic `1`s** in `12` and two more in `8-11`, all with the angled top flag, closed stem and no lower serif. The standalone witness later in the same entry, `vocibus diversa officia 1 interserit sunt`, carries **the angled flag and no lower serif** — it is the **edition 1**, not the codex `I`. **Four species-defining glyphs inside two lines; compare them directly and never judge an upright in isolation.** The same test settles p. 251 n. 2's `Ed. 1 per remedium ducere` and the `Vat., 1 et 3` of p. 252 n. 2.
- **★ `Ps. 149, 6. n. 12` (p. 251 n. 4's continuation) — A FIX AGAINST THE RAW, WHICH GAVE `Ps. 1i9`.** The glyphs are a flagged `1`, a true `4` (crossbar, open top) and a `9`. **Sense is decisive and independent: Ps. 149, 6 is *gladii ancipites in manibus eorum*, and the entry's whole business is to define *gladium bis acutum*.** Augustine's *Enarratio* on that psalm is where the two-edged sword is expounded.
- **★ `Eccli. 21, 4.` (same continuation) — A FIX AGAINST THE RAW, WHICH GAVE `Eccli. 21, l.`** The glyph is a crossbarred `4`, contrasted three characters away against the flagged `1` of `21`. **Sense: Ecclesiasticus 21, 4 is *omnis iniquitas sicut rhomphaea ex utraque parte acuta* — the verse that uses the entry's own word, `rhomphaea`, of a two-edged blade.** Apoc. 2, 12 (*qui habet rhomphaeam utraque parte acutam*) is the third witness and reads clean.
- **★ `Eph. 4, 8.` (p. 251 n. 3) — A FIX AGAINST THE RAW, WHICH GAVE `Eph. l, 8`.** A crossbarred `4`. **Sense settles it: Eph. 4, 8 is *ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem*, the New Testament citation of the very Psalm (67, 19) the entry names in its first clause.**
- **`Marc. 15, 33.` (p. 251 n. 7) — read clean and it supplies its own `3`/`5` contrast.** `15` sets a flagged `1` over a **flat top bar with a single lower bowl**; `33` sets **two pairs of stacked bowls with no bar**, four characters away. **Use this pair the way `d. 14.` is used for `1`/`4`.** Sense: Mark 15, 33 is the darkness *ab hora sexta usque ad horam nonam* — the hour Bede's Gloss is about, and the anchor is `debitam servavit horam in patiendo`.
- **`Marc. 16, 19`, `Act. 1, 1`, `Ps. 109, 1`, `pag. 395, nota 7`, `II. Sent. d. 2. p. II. dub. 2`, `III. Sent. d. 22. q. 4-6` (n. 1); `Ps. 67, 19`, `II. Sent. d. 9. q. 7` (n. 3); `Gen. 3, 24`, `XVIII. Etymolog. c. 6`, `Apoc. 2, 12`, `III. Sent. d. 18. a. 2. q. 3` (n. 4); `I. Cor. 15, 4` (n. 5); `I. Cor. 15, 5`, `I. Thess. 4, 12` (n. 6); `pag. 463, nota 9`, `pag. 458, nota 2`, `horarum 36` (n. 7); `I. Cor. 12, 8-11` (p. 252 n. 1) — all read clean and all sense-checked.** Mark 16, 19 is *sedet a dextris Dei*, the anchor's own clause; Acts 1, 1 seqq. is the ascension and Acts 2, 1 seqq. Pentecost, the third and fourth theses in order; Ps. 109, 1 is *sede a dextris meis*, which is what the Gloss is glossing; Gen. 3, 24 is quoted verbatim in the entry; Isidore *Etym.* XVIII, 6 is *De gladiis*; I Cor. 15, 4 is *resurrexit tertia die*, the anchor's italic tag word for word; I Cor. 15, 5 seqq. is the list of resurrection appearances, which is the anchor's *multa signa et argumenta*, and I Thess. 4, 12 seqq. the passage on the hope of those who sleep; `horarum 36` matches the body's *triginta sex horarum* on the facing column; and I Cor. 12, 8–11 is the charism list the anchor quotes entire.

**Preserved as printed, not harmonised.**
- **★★ A BODY/APPARATUS DIVERGENCE INSIDE A SINGLE PHRASE — BOTH SET AS PRINTED.** The body reads `sedet ad **dexteram** Patris` while p. 251 n. 1, twenty lines below, quotes the same phrase as `dictionis *sedere ad **dextram** Patris*` — and then records that the editions read `dextram Dei Patris`. **Three forms of one phrase on one page.** Both the body's `dexteram` and the note's `dextram` are unambiguous at maximum zoom. **Neither is corrected toward the other, and the English mirrors both with the same wording because the divergence is orthographic and has no English counterpart — it is recorded here instead.** This is the second instance in three leaves of the rule p. 248's Isaiah citation established: **do not restore a body reading over an apparatus one, in either direction.**
- **★★ A STRAY HYPHEN SORT BETWEEN TWO WHOLE WORDS — PRESERVED AS PRINTED, AND NOT MIRRORED.** p. 251's left column, third line, sets `decesserunt per - fidem vivam` — a **hyphen standing at mid-height between two complete words in the middle of a line**, where the sense wants no mark at all. At maximum zoom it is a sound hyphen sort with full strokes, not a battered dash and not a speck: almost certainly a compositor's hangover from a line-break in an earlier setting. **It is set as printed in the Latin.** It is **not** mirrored in the English, because unlike p. 249's `multiformium. nec` or p. 250's `hominem,` it is not pointing and bears no sense: an English `through - a living faith` would assert a pause the Latin mark does not make. **The distinction is recorded rather than resolved.** It joins the standing list — p. 246's `Ecclesiae..`, p. 248's battered `merita nostra;`, p. 249's `multiformium. nec`, p. 250's `hominem,` — as the fifth typographic oddity in six leaves, and it is of a fourth kind.
- **★ A MISMATCHED BRACKET PAIR IN THE APPARATUS — PRESERVED.** p. 251 n. 4's continuation sets `rhomphaea (graece ῥομφαία]` — an **opening round parenthesis closed by a square bracket**. Both marks are sound sorts at maximum zoom. **Set exactly as printed and mirrored in the English; not silently repaired.** The Greek is set in Greek type and is reproduced as such.
- **★ `Ratio autem ad intelligentiam praedictorum haec est: quia` carries the COLON — THIRTEENTH consecutive attestation** (Pars III capp. IX–XI, Pars IV capp. I–X). p. 237's full stop remains the one-off, and **Pars IV closes with the formula unbroken across all ten of its capitula.** Here it opens on a *sicut/sic* correlative (`sicut Christus in quantum Verbum increatum … sic in quantum incarnatum …`), the same shape as Cap. IX's — **the first time in the pars that two consecutive capitula have taken the *Ratio* the same way.**
- **★★ THE EM-DASH ARTICULATION TAKES A NINTH DISTINCT DISTRIBUTION IN NINE ADJACENT CAPITULA, AND IT IS THE MOST LOPSIDED YET.** Cap. X puts **THREE** dashes in its opening thesis paragraph, marking members 2–4 of a **fourfold** division (`— Post haec tertia die resurrexit` · `— Deinde post quadraginta dies ascendit` · `— Postremo, interiectis decem diebus`), the first member following the *quod* undashed — the Cap. VII/IX shape. It then puts **exactly ONE** in the whole of the *Ratio*, before `— Ac per hoc, sicut debitam servavit horam`, and **none at all** in the five intervening paragraphs, which open bare with `Quia ergo` · `Rursus` · `Debuit etiam` · `Amplius` · `Postremo` · `Et quoniam`. **Four dashes in a capitulum of nine paragraphs, against Cap. IX's six and Cap. VI's seven.** ★ As in every previous case the count matches nothing: **four members, three dashes.** Transcribed, never regularised, and never counted from the number of members.
- **The italics are selective and were set exactly as printed.** In the opening thesis *exitu* and *fructu* are italic — the two things the chapter is *de* — while `passionis`, `Christi`, `anima`, `corpus` stand roman; the scriptural tag *tertia die resurrexit* is italic and the surrounding narrative roman, although `descendit ad infernum`, `ascendit ad caelos` and `misit … Spiritum sanctum` are equally the creed's words and are **not** italicised in the thesis paragraph — **yet the very same three verbs ARE italicised (*descendit*, *resurrexit*, *ascendit*, *misit Spiritum sanctum*) when the *Ratio* takes them up under `Arguitur ex prima`.** The plate italicises a word for the office it does in the argument, not for what it is: the same is true of *sufficientissimum* / *efficacissimum* (italic as the twofold division and italic again at each answer), of *caelestia / terrestria / infernalia* and *veniam / gratiam / gloriam*, of *praecesserunt* / *sequuntur*, and of the three answering formulae *aedificaret ad fidem* · *erigeret ad spem* · *inflammaret ad caritatem, misit ignem Spiritus sancti*. `fidem, spem et caritatem` is italic where it names the threefold term drawn to, and **roman** eight lines above where it merely says who clings to Christ. The whole I Corinthians 12 quotation on p. 252 is italic entire; `Ierusalem caelestem` and `Ierusalem terrestrem` are roman although each answers a member. **The plate's italic is not a rule that may be completed.**
- **`Christus`, `Christi`, `Christum`, `Deus`, `Deum`, `Deo`, `Patris`, `Patri`, `Verbum`, `Spiritus sanctus`, `Spiritum sanctum`, `Apostolos`, `Ecclesia`, `Sacramenta`, `Ierusalem`, `Pentecostes`, `Cherubim` are capitalised as printed**, and `infernum`, `limbum`, `inferos`, `caeli`, `paradisum` are not; the English follows.

**Enumerations preserved exactly.** The **FOURFOLD** statement of the *exitus* — the **descent** to hell for the liberation of Christ's members · the **resurrection** on the third day in an impassible and immortal body · the **ascension** after forty days to the right hand of the Father · the **mission** of the Spirit after ten days — stated once and then answered twice over. Within it: the **twofold** ground of the liberation (a living faith / the sacraments of faith); the **twofold** contrast of the risen body (passible and mortal before / impassible and immortal after); the **twofold** sense of *sedere ad dexteram* rejected and accepted (not as regards *situs* / but as regards *excellentia bonorum*); the **twofold** ordering of the Church (diverse distributions of *officia* and of *gratiae*). In the *Ratio*: the **TWOFOLD** requirement of a most perfect remedy — *sufficientissimum* and *efficacissimum*, glossed `Ratio duplex in remedio.` — under which **the fourfold division is answered TWICE and in two different manners.** ★ **This is the structural trap of the capitulum and it must not be flattened: under the first ground (`Arguitur ex prima.`) all four members are answered EN BLOC in a single period, matched to a threefold *caelestia / terrestria / infernalia* and a threefold *venia / gratia / gloria* — so that a THREEfold division carries a FOURfold answer, the ascension and the mission of the Spirit sharing the *caelestia* member; under the second ground (`Item, ex secunda.`) the same four are answered ONE BY ONE, in their own order, glossed `Pro thesi 1.`–`Pro thesi 4.`** Under the second: the **twofold** class of those the remedy reaches (those who *preceded* Christ's coming / those who *follow*); the **threefold** term of the drawing (*fides*, *spes*, *caritas*), matched member for member to the three answers (*aedificaret ad fidem* by rising, *erigeret ad spem* by ascending, *inflammaret ad caritatem* by sending the Spirit); the **twofold** reason for the exact interval in each case (neither hastened nor deferred, at the resurrection; not at once but after forty days, at the ascension; not at once but after ten days, at Pentecost); and the **threefold** disposition of the disciples in the interval (fasting, praying, groaning). The closing recapitulation is **fourfold** (*in patiendo* · *in resurgendo* · *in ascendendo* · *in mittendo Spiritum sanctum*) and matches the theses exactly; the closing charism list is the Apostle's **NINEfold** one, transcribed entire and unaltered. **★ The fourfold division of the *exitus*, the twofold division of the remedy and the threefold division of *caelestia / terrestria / infernalia* are NOT parallel and must not be aligned: the plate's own glosses keep them apart (`Thesis 1.–4.` against `Ratio duplex in remedio.` against `Arguitur ex prima.` / `Item, ex secunda.`).**

**Marginalia** (Quaracchi editorial side-glosses, trimmed from the body per corpus convention; logged here in body order). p. 250 R — "Thesis 1." p. 251 L — "Thesis 2." · "Thesis 3." · "Thesis 4." · "Ratio." · "Ratio duplex in remedio." · "Arguitur ex prima." · "Item, ex secunda." p. 251 R — "Pro thesi 1." · "Pro thesi 2." · "Resurrexit ad fidem aedificandam." · "Pro thesi 3." · "Ascendit ad spem erigendam." · "Pro thesi 4." · "Misit Spiritum S. ad caritatem inflammandam." p. 252 L — "Plenitudo ac diversitas charismatum." Sixteen glosses across nine paragraphs, and **a TENTH distinct form**. ★★ **The numbered series is STRICTLY PARALLEL — `Thesis 1.`–`Thesis 4.` answered one-for-one by `Pro thesi 1.`–`Pro thesi 4.` — only the second such pair in Pars IV after Cap. VIII's, and the LAST.** But the parallelism is broken from outside and from inside at once: **outside**, by a four-gloss *Ratio* sub-series (`Ratio.` · `Ratio duplex in remedio.` · `Arguitur ex prima.` · `Item, ex secunda.`) standing entirely between the theses and their answers — **and note that `Arguitur ex prima.` marks a paragraph which answers ALL FOUR theses and carries NO `Pro thesi` gloss at all**, so the numbered answers begin only at the second ground; **inside**, by three unnumbered topical glosses (`Resurrexit ad fidem aedificandam.` · `Ascendit ad spem erigendam.` · `Misit Spiritum S. ad caritatem inflammandam.`) which shadow answers 2, 3 and 4 but not answer 1. **So a reader counting glosses finds four theses, four numbered answers and a fifth answering paragraph that is not numbered — and the gloss series is complete and correct at every point.** ★ Cap. VIII broke its parallel series with two single unnumbered glosses; Cap. IX broke its with an entire rival series and a *named* rather than numbered first answer; **Cap. X keeps its series intact and instead brackets it, putting a whole unnumbered answer in front of `Pro thesi 1.`** Three consecutive capitula, three different ways of not being countable. **Transcribe the glosses as printed; regularise nothing; never check a member count against a gloss count in either direction. Pars IV ends with that rule intact in all ten capitula.**

**No `[?]` flags.** Five readings could have carried one — the `H I O Q V` siglum run against the raw's undifferentiated `IIIOQV`, `Ps. 149` against the raw's `1i9`, `Eccli. 21, 4` against the raw's `21, l`, `Eph. 4, 8` against the raw's `l, 8`, and the standalone `1` of p. 252 n. 1 — and each is settled positively on the band, by stroke count, by alphabetical position, or by a same-line glyph contrast, and every one is independently corroborated by the cited text checking itself against the anchor. The reasoning is recorded above in full rather than compressed into a flag. The three typographic oddities (`per - fidem`, the `(graece ῥομφαία]` bracket pair, and the `dexteram`/`dextram` divergence) are plate readings preserved as printed — none is an ambiguity.

**Raw-quality verdict, per page AND per region.** The bodies were re-set line-by-line from the bands; the raw was consulted only as a cross-check and is graded here for the Pars V agent's benefit.
- **p. 251, left column — GOOD, and the cleanest body column in Pars IV.** `limlniin` (**`limbum` destroyed**), `per-fidem`, `lcrlia dic. re.mrrcxit` (**`tertia die resurrexit` badly damaged, with a spurious point**), `cpioil`, `fueral`, `impassibilc ct immortale`, `perpetno`, `Deindc`, `omneni`, `dcxterani`, `quantnm`, `compctit Deo Palri`, `bonoruni`, `nii.sit` , `sanclum`, `pcr (|uem`, `gentiuni`, `duni diversas`, `intelligcntiam`, `pcrfectissime nmnia forniavit`, `dcbuit ergo`, `perdu-cere-`, `.\d hoc autem,quod` (**lost interior space**), `sulficienlismnum` (**`sufficientissimum` destroyed**), `eljicacissimum`, `se ^xtendit`, `coclpstia, terrcstria`, `(^■[jpjjfu^ gyjj|. ififemalia` (**a whole clause reduced to noise — the worst single stretch in Pars IV**), `tcrreslria`, `ho-'rum`, `vcniam`, `ca-ptivitatem '`, `lerusalem caeleslem`, `a'd aedificandum`, `sufiicientiam`, `efficacksi-uem, ei se-` (**the marginal gloss `Item, ex secunda.` fused into the body line and the word destroyed**), `»i!OH tam iu eos`, `praccc'.«y;-runt`. **Roughly forty garbles in fifty printed lines, with FOUR words destroyed, one clause reduced to noise outright, one lost interior space and one gloss fused to a body word.** ★ **Density MODERATE, severity HIGH — and the severity is concentrated in a single six-line stretch of the `Arguitur ex prima` period while the forty lines around it run near-clean. The grade moves WITHIN A COLUMN and within a paragraph, which is finer-grained than p. 249's within-a-column shift across a chapter heading.** **All seven left-margin glosses are damaged and every numeral in them destroyed** (`Thcsis 2.`, `Thesis 3.`, `Thcsis j.` for `Thesis 4.`, `Raiio.`, `Raiio du-plex io re-medio.`, `Argniinr cx prima.`, `uem, ei se-`).
- **p. 251, right column — GOOD, and a step ABOVE the left across the same gutter.** `acccsserunt et acccdnnt`, `inem-bra`, `siiit qiii adiiaerent`, `fidcm`, `rcmi^diiim il-`, `dei)iiit [irimo`, `crcdiderunt`, `statiin`, `aii in-fcros (tecemtor` (**`descendere` destroyed**), `a|)ert:i`, `fiiii sati.sficicndo`, `amovcrat rhomphaeam ■*`, `miitaiido .sentcntiam`, `divi-nain`, `oinni;i meinbra`, `\iab(!re clTicaciam pracci|main`, `fidcm, spem. et caritatem` (**a spurious point**), `ail gloriam pcrdu-ceret`, `aedifieurel ad fidcm`, `Christuin veriim homincm et verum Deura`, `rcducerc`, `resurre-ctioncm`, `i-cmryere` (**`resurgere` destroyed**), `teinporis`, `scilicct`, `fiiit`, `accelcrare dcbuit`, `(lilVerre`, `in inqrte` (**`morte` damaged**), `idcoqiie rcsurrcxit`, `.\mphus, nt en(/ere<` (**`erigeret` destroyed**), `qiiam speramus`, `spos`, `futiirae`, `statiin`, `pcr multa signa`, `mi.sit ignem Spiritus .mncti`, `hoo igne`, `inisit`, `qiio discipuli`, `disposueriint`, `susceplionem`, `re.mrgendo`. **Roughly forty-five garbles in fifty printed lines, with FOUR words destroyed and one spurious point.** ★ **Density HIGH, severity MODERATE — the exact inverse of the facing left column on the same page. Two columns, one gutter, two grades.** **All seven right-margin glosses are damaged, but — unlike the left column's — FIVE of the seven keep their numerals** (`Pro thcsi i.` for `Pro thesi 1.`, `pro ihcai 2.`, `pro thcsi 3.`, `pro a,esi i.` for `Pro thesi 4.`, `ncson-Mit diricandam.`, `Ascendit ad spem eri-genlam.`, `Misit spiri-tum S. ad caritatem inflammandam.` largely intact). **Two gloss runs, one page, opposite numeral survival — grade the run, not the page.**
- **p. 251 footer, both blocks — GOOD, and the digit failures are all of the `1`/`4` class, not the `3`/`5` class that dominated the p. 249/250 leaf.** Left: `Cfr. Marc. 16, 19. cl .\ct. I, 1. seqq.` (**one roman/arabic slip**), `ibid. 2, 1. scqq.` clean, `Spirilus`, `Explicnlio anncxa dictionis mlcre` (**`sedere` destroyed**), `ad dexiram Patris` clean in the word that matters, `Ps. 109, 1` clean, `tom. 111. pag. 39-3, nola 7.` (**`III.` set as digits AND `395` mangled to `39-3`**), `11. Sent. d. 2. p. II. dub. 2.` (**`II.` set as digits**), `III. Sent. d. 22. q. 4-6.` clean, `de.Ttram Dei Patris`, `E 1 M 0 S` (**siglum run rendered as digits**), `D in acternvm`, `Aposlolos B discipulos` clean; `Ed. 1 per remedium dunere` (**one letter**); `Ps. 67, 19` clean, `capf-vitatem`, `Eph. l, 8.` (**WRONG DIGIT — `4` read as `l`**), `redinlcgranda lerusalcm caelcsti` , `II. Sent. d. 9. q. 7.` clean; `Gen. 3, 2i` (**WRONG DIGIT — `24` read as `2i`**), `nammeum gladium` , `Enarral.`. Right: `Ps. 1i9, 6. n. 12` (**WRONG DIGIT — `149` read as `1i9`**), `Isidor., XVlll. Etymolog. c. 6` , `rhomphaca (graece po(j.tp(iia]` (**the Greek destroyed**), `Eccli. 21 , l.` (**WRONG DIGIT — `4` read as `l`**), `Apoc. 2, 12.` clean, `III. Sent. d. 18. a. 2. q. 3.` clean, `IIIOQV` (**the `H` and the `I` run together into three undifferentiated strokes**), `qvi non pauci codd. ct 2 substitnunt qiiae`; `Epist. I. Cor. 15, 4.` clean, `debiiit. qiiod plu-res codd. ct 2 omittiint , B H voluit` clean including the siglum; `I. Cor. 15, 3. seqq.` (**WRONG DIGIT — `5` read as `3`, the one `3`/`5` failure on the leaf**) `et I. Thess. 4, 12. seqq.` clean; `Marc. 1S, 33.` (**one letter for a digit**), `Christiis eadcm hora`, `,\dam peccando`, `toni. III. pag. 463, nola 9.` clean, `pag. 4S8, nota 2.` (**one letter for a digit**), `Aiigustino aHerlur`, `myslica ho-rarum 3fi` (**`36` damaged**), `repleiur pro impletur` clean. **Roughly forty single-letter garbles across twenty-one printed lines, with FIVE wrong digits and ONE mangled siglum run in eight entries.** ★ **FOUR of the five wrong digits are `1`/`4` confusions (`Eph. l, 8` · `Gen. 3, 2i` · `Ps. 1i9` · `Eccli. 21, l`) and only ONE is a `3`/`5` (`I. Cor. 15, 3`). On the p. 249/250 leaf the ratio was exactly the reverse — three `3`/`5` failures and none of the other class. TWO ADJACENT LEAVES OF ONE QUIRE, TWO OPPOSITE FAILURE PROFILES: do not carry a "dominant class" forward from one leaf to the next. Treat BOTH classes as live on every page.**
- **p. 252, left column and its footer — GOOD.** `ascendendo in caelum` clean, `mittendo Spirilum san-ctum`, `fundalionein triuin virtutum`, `niulta inysteria`, `quao`, `teniporibus iinplicantur`, `Sprritus sanctus` (**a spurious `r`**), `1'ienitudo per caritatein liabetur` (**the gloss `Plenitudo` fused to the body line**), `oinnium origo charisma-tum`, `elTusa`, `mysti-cum`, `de-bent`, `diversoruin mem-`. Footer: `Epist. I. Cor. 12, 8-11` clean, `Vulgata hinc inde plura addit` clean, `diversa officia 1 interserit sunt` clean. **About fifteen garbles in fifteen printed lines, one fused gloss and one spurious letter — the cleanest short run in the pars.**
- **p. 252, right column — GOOD, with ONE TRAP.** `brorum diversa officia et exercitia` clean, `cbarismata`, `dalur pcr Spirilum sermo sapientiae` , `scicntiae`, `alii fide^` (**the raw sets an anchor glyph on `fides`, where THERE IS NO NOTE — the known cascade at an anchor, and a live trap**), `gralia sanilatum`, `opcratio virlittum`, `yenera- linguarum`, `interprc-tatio`, `opcratur unus atque idcm Spiritus`, `diuidens sinyutis, prout vult^` (**the genuine n. 1 anchor**), `iiberalissimam`, `providentissimain larKitatem`. **★ The raw sets TWO anchor glyphs in one italic quotation and only the second is a real note. `p4-c9` recorded the identical failure on p. 250's `comi-tatu^`. The raw's anchor positions are a hint and never evidence — this is the second attestation in two leaves.** The `PARS QUINTA` display heading prints in the raw as `PARS aUINTA.` (**shattered**) and its subtitle `De gratia Spiritus saiicli.` — **the raw shatters a PART heading as freely as a chapter heading, which matters because a part heading is the only positive witness to a pars boundary. Set every heading from the band.**

**★ NEITHER SIGNATURE FALLS ON p. 251 OR p. 252.** `S. Bonav. — Tom. V.` and the quire signature both last fell on p. 249; pp. 250, 251 and 252 carry neither, so the printer's signature's ~8-leaf cadence still points to roughly **p. 257**, inside Pars V. Neither is ever an entry. **The unnumbered continuation heading p. 251's right block is p. 251 n. 4's own tail and is NOT a separate entry** — p. 251's register is **seven**, band-derived here, and p. 252's is **six**, likewise band-derived; both are newly fed to `check-vol5-apparatus.py`.
