### Capitulum VI. *De ramificatione gratiae in habitus beatitudinum, et per consequens fructuum et sensuum.*

De ramificatione autem gratiae in habitus *beatitudinum* haec tenenda sunt, quod septem sunt *beatitudines*, quas Salvator enumerat in sermone de monte[^p258-5] scilicet *paupertas spiritus, mititas, luctus, esuries iustitiae, misericordia, munditia cordis* et *pax*. — Ad has beatitudines propter sui perfectionem et plenitudinem duodecim *fructus Spiritus* et quinque *sensus spirituales* consequuntur; qui non dicunt novos *habitus*, sed *status* delectationum et *usus* spiritualium speculationum, quibus replentur et consolantur spiritus virorum iustorum.

Ratio autem ad intelligentiam praedictorum haec est: quia, cum reparativum principium sit perfectissimum et perfectissime reparativum et reformativum per donum gratuitum; ideo gratiae donum ab ipso manans liberaliter et abunde ramificari debet usque ad habitus perfectionum, qui, cum fini approximent, recto vocabulo nuncupantur ex nomine *beatitudinum*; quarum *sufficientia, numerus* et *ordo* colligitur ex *integritate perfectionis*, ex *modis perfectionum* et ex *dispositionibus ad perfectionem*.

Primo igitur ad *integritatem perfectionis* requiritur necessario perfectus *recessus a malo*, perfectus *processus in bono* et perfectus *status in optimo*. Quoniam autem *malum* aut procedit ex tumore superbiae, aut ex rancore malitiae, aut ex languore concupiscentiae[^p258-6]; ideo ad perfecte elongandum ab hoc triplici genere mali tres sunt necessariae beatitudines, scilicet *paupertas spiritus* elongans a malo tumoris, *mititas* elongans a malo rancoris, et *luctus* elongans a malo libidinis et languoris concupiscentialis. — Quia vero perfectus *processus in bono* attenditur secundum divinam imitationem; et *universae viae Domini misericordia et veritas*[^p258-7]: hinc est,

<!-- page 259 -->
quod duplex est beatitudo secundum has duas vias, scilicet *esuries* sive zelus *iustitiae*, et *affectus misericordiae*. — Quoniam autem *status in optimo* est vel per limpidam cognitionem, vel per tranquillam affectionem; hinc est, quod sunt duae ultimae beatitudines, scilicet *munditia cordis* ad Deum videndum et *pax mentis* ad perfecte fruendum.

Secundo etiam, si *modi perfectionum* attendantur, debent esse septem habitus beatitudinum. Nam est perfectio *religionis, praelationis* et *internae sanctitudinis*[^p259-1]. Ad perfectionem autem *religionis* necessario requiritur abdicatio boni privati, acceptatio boni fraterni et appetitio boni aeterni; primum fit per *paupertatem spiritus*, secundum per *mititatem affectus*, tertium per *amaritudinem luctus*. — Ad perfectionem vero *praelationis* duo necessario requiruntur, scilicet *zelus iustitiae* et *affectus misericordiae*; *misericordia* enim *et veritas custodiunt regem*[^p259-2]. Secundum haec duo disponi debet regimen praelationis in Ecclesia militante. — Ad perfectionem autem *internae sanctitudinis* necessario requiritur *puritas conscientiae* et tranquillitas totius animae per *pacem Dei* omnem humanum sensum exsuperantem.

Tertio, si attendantur *dispositiones praeambulae*, septem debent esse beatitudines. *Timor* enim facit recedere a malo et a mali occasione; et quia *radix omnium malorum est cupiditas*[^p259-3]: ideo *timor* disponit ad *spiritus paupertatem*, in qua simul iungitur humilitas cum paupertate, ut sic elongetur vir perfectus a fonte omnis culpae, scilicet a superbia et cupiditate. Et hinc est, quod *paupertas spiritus* est fundamentum totius perfectionis evangelicae. Unde primo oportet hoc fundamentum sternere qui vult ad culmen perfectionis venire, secundum illud Matthaei decimo nono[^p259-4]: *Si vis perfectus esse, vade et vende omnia, quae habes*; ecce, perfecta *paupertas*, quae nihil sibi prorsus retinet; *et sequere me*; ecce, *humilitas*, quae facit, quod homo abnegando se ipsum tollat crucem suam et sequatur Christum, qui est totius perfectionis principalissimum fundamentum. Disponit ergo timor ad spiritus paupertatem. — *Pietas* autem ad *mititatem*; nam qui pie ad aliquem afficitur nec illum irritat nec ab illo irritatur. — *Scientia* disponit ad *luctum*, quoniam per scientiam cognoscimus nos a statu beatitudinis relegatos in hanc vallem miseriae et lacrymarum. — *Fortitudo* autem disponit ad *esuriem iustitiae*; qui enim fortis est tam avide se tenet cum iustitia, ut malit a vita corporali quam a iustitia separari. — *Consilium* disponit ad *misericordiam*; nihil enim Deus magis consulit in Scriptura quam facere misericordiam, quod super omnia reputat holocausta[^p259-5]. — *Intellectus* disponit ad *cordis munditiam*; nam speculatio veritatis mundat cor nostrum ab omnibus phantasiis. — *Sapientia* disponit ad *pacem*; nam sapientia iungit nos summo vero et bono, in quo est finis et tranquillitas totius nostri rationalis appetitus.

Qua pace adepta, necessario sequitur superabundans delectatio spiritualis, quae in *duodenario fructuum* continetur ad insinuandam *superabundantiam* delectationum. Est enim duodenarius numerus *abundans*[^p259-6], in quo insinuatur spiritualium charismatum exuberantia, quibus fruitur et delectatur anima sancta; et tunc est homo ad contemplationem idoneus et ad aspectus et amplexus sponsi et sponsae, qui fieri habent secundum *sensus spirituales*, quibus *videtur* Christi sponsi summa pulcritudo sub ratione *Splendoris*; *auditur* summa harmonia sub ratione *Verbi*; *gustatur* summa dulcedo sub ratione *Sapientiae* comprehendentis utrumque, Verbum scilicet et Splendorem; *odoratur* summa fragrantia sub ratione *Verbi inspirati* in corde; *astringitur* summa suavitas sub ratione *Verbi incarnati*, inter nos habitantis[^p259-7] corporaliter et reddentis se nobis palpabile, osculabile, amplexabile per ardentissimam caritatem, quae mentem nostram per ecstasim et raptum transire facit *ex hoc mundo ad Patrem*.

Ex dictis igitur manifeste colligitur, quod habitus *virtutum* ad exercitium principaliter disponunt activae; habitus vero *donorum* ad otium[^p259-8] contemplativae; habitus autem *beatitudinum* ad perfectionem utriusque. *Fructus* vero *Spiritus*, qui sunt *caritas, gaudium, pax, patientia, longanimitas, bonitas, benignitas, mansuetudo, fides, modestia, continentia, castitas*[^p259-9], dicunt delectationes consequentes

<!-- page 260 -->
opera perfecta. *Sensus* vero *spirituales* dicunt perceptiones mentales circa veritatem contemplandam. Quae quidem contemplatio in Prophetis fuit per *revelationem* quantum ad triplicem visionem, scilicet corporalem, imaginativam et intellectualem[^p260-1]; in aliis vero iustis reperitur per *speculationem*, quae incipit a sensu et pervenit ad imaginationem et de imaginatione ad rationem, de ratione ad intellectum, de intellectu ad intelligentiam; de intelligentia vero ad sapientiam sive notitiam excessivam, quae hic in via incipit, sed consummatur in gloria sempiterna.

Et in his gradibus consistit *scala Iacob, cuius cacumen attingit caelum*[^p260-2]; et *thronus Salomonis*, in quo residet Rex sapientissimus et vere pacificus et amorosus ut sponsus speciosissimus *et desiderabilis totus*; *in quem desiderant Angeli prospicere*, et ad quem suspirat desiderium sanctarum animarum, sicut *cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum*. Quo quidem desiderio ferventissimo ad modum ignis spiritus noster non solum efficitur agilis ad ascensum, verum etiam quadam *ignorantia docta* supra se ipsum rapitur in caliginem et excessum, ut non solum cum sponsa dicat: *In odorem unguentorum tuorum curremus*[^p260-3], verum etiam cum Propheta psallat: *Et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis.* Quam nocturnam et deliciosam illuminationem nemo novit nisi qui probat, nemo autem probat nisi per gratiam divinitus datam, nemini datur, nisi ei qui se exercet ad illam; ideo deinceps consideranda sunt exercitia meritorum.

### Chapter VI. *On the branching of grace into the habits of the beatitudes, and consequently of the fruits and the senses.*

Concerning the branching of grace into the habits of the *beatitudes*, these things are to be held: that the *beatitudes* are seven, which the Savior enumerates in the sermon on the mount[^p258-5] — namely, *poverty of spirit, meekness, mourning, hunger for justice, mercy, cleanness of heart* and *peace*. — Upon these beatitudes, by reason of their perfection and fulness, there follow twelve *fruits of the Spirit* and five *spiritual senses*; which do not name new *habits*, but *states* of delight and *uses* of spiritual contemplations, by which the spirits of just men are filled and consoled.

Now the reason for the understanding of the foresaid is this: since the reparative principle is most perfect and most perfectly reparative and reformative through the gratuitous gift, therefore the gift of grace flowing from it liberally and abundantly must branch out even to the habits of the perfections, which, because they draw near to the end, are by a right name called after the name of the *beatitudes*; and their *sufficiency, number* and *order* are gathered from the *integrity of perfection*, from the *modes of the perfections* and from the *dispositions toward perfection*.

First, then, for the *integrity of perfection* there is necessarily required a perfect *withdrawal from evil*, a perfect *advance in good* and a perfect *rest in what is best*. Now since *evil* proceeds either from the swelling of pride, or from the rancor of malice, or from the languor of concupiscence[^p258-6], therefore, for a perfect removal from this threefold kind of evil, three beatitudes are necessary: namely, *poverty of spirit*, which removes from the evil of swelling; *meekness*, which removes from the evil of rancor; and *mourning*, which removes from the evil of lust and of the languor belonging to concupiscence. — But because a perfect *advance in good* is measured according to the imitation of God, and *all the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth*[^p258-7], hence it is

<!-- page 259 -->
that the beatitude answering to these two ways is twofold: namely, *hunger*, or zeal, for *justice*, and *the affection of mercy*. — And since *rest in what is best* is either through limpid knowledge or through tranquil affection, hence it is that there are two final beatitudes: namely, *cleanness of heart* for seeing God, and *peace of mind* for perfectly enjoying him.

Second, likewise, if the *modes of the perfections* be considered, the habits of the beatitudes must be seven. For there is a perfection of *religious life*, of *prelacy* and of *interior holiness*[^p259-1]. Now for the perfection of *religious life* there is necessarily required the renunciation of private good, the acceptance of a brother's good and the desire of the eternal good; the first is done through *poverty of spirit*, the second through *meekness of affection*, the third through *the bitterness of mourning*. — For the perfection of *prelacy*, on the other hand, two things are necessarily required: namely, *zeal for justice* and *the affection of mercy*; for *mercy and truth preserve the king*[^p259-2]. According to these two the government of prelacy in the Church militant must be ordered. — And for the perfection of *interior holiness* there is necessarily required *purity of conscience* and the tranquillity of the whole soul through *the peace of God* which surpasses all human understanding.

Third, if the *preambular dispositions* be considered, the beatitudes must be seven. For *fear* makes one withdraw from evil and from the occasion of evil; and because *the root of all evils is covetousness*[^p259-3], therefore *fear* disposes toward *poverty of spirit*, in which humility is joined together with poverty, so that the perfect man may thus be removed from the fount of all fault, namely from pride and covetousness. And hence it is that *poverty of spirit* is the foundation of the whole of evangelical perfection. Whence he who wishes to come to the summit of perfection must first lay this foundation, according to that word of Matthew, chapter nineteen[^p259-4]: *If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell all that thou hast* — behold, perfect *poverty*, which retains nothing at all for itself — *and follow me*: behold, *humility*, which brings it about that a man, denying himself, takes up his cross and follows Christ, who is the most principal foundation of the whole of perfection. Fear therefore disposes toward poverty of spirit. — *Piety*, in turn, toward *meekness*; for one who is affectionately disposed toward another neither provokes him nor is provoked by him. — *Knowledge* disposes toward *mourning*, since through knowledge we recognize that we have been banished from the state of blessedness into this valley of misery and of tears. — *Fortitude*, in turn, disposes toward *hunger for justice*; for one who is brave holds to justice so eagerly that he would rather be parted from bodily life than from justice. — *Counsel* disposes toward *mercy*; for God counsels nothing in Scripture more than the doing of mercy, which he accounts above all holocausts[^p259-5]. — *Understanding* disposes toward *cleanness of heart*; for the contemplation of truth cleanses our heart of all phantasms. — *Wisdom* disposes toward *peace*; for wisdom joins us to the highest true and good, in which is the end and the tranquillity of our whole rational appetite.

And when this peace has been attained, there necessarily follows a superabundant spiritual delight, which is contained in the *twelvefold number of the fruits*, to signify the *superabundance* of the delights. For twelve is an *abundant* number[^p259-6], in which is signified the exuberance of the spiritual charisms which the holy soul enjoys and delights in; and then a man is fit for contemplation and for the beholding and the embraces of the bridegroom and the bride, which have to come about according to the *spiritual senses*, by which is *seen* the supreme beauty of Christ the bridegroom under the aspect of *Splendor*; is *heard* the supreme harmony under the aspect of *the Word*; is *tasted* the supreme sweetness under the aspect of *Wisdom*, which comprehends both, namely the Word and the Splendor; is *smelled* the supreme fragrance under the aspect of *the Word inspired* in the heart; is *touched* the supreme suavity under the aspect of *the Word incarnate*, dwelling among us[^p259-7] bodily and rendering himself to us palpable, kissable, embraceable by that most ardent charity which makes our mind pass over, through ecstasy and rapture, *out of this world to the Father*.

From the things said, therefore, it is manifestly gathered that the habits of the *virtues* dispose principally toward the exercise of the active life; the habits of the *gifts*, toward the leisure[^p259-8] of the contemplative; and the habits of the *beatitudes*, toward the perfection of both. But the *fruits of the Spirit*, which are *charity, joy, peace, patience, longanimity, goodness, benignity, mildness, faith, modesty, continence, chastity*[^p259-9], name the delights that follow upon

<!-- page 260 -->
perfect works. And the *spiritual senses* name the mental perceptions concerning the truth to be contemplated. Which contemplation was in the Prophets through *revelation*, as regards a threefold vision — namely the corporeal, the imaginative and the intellectual[^p260-1]; while in the other just it is found through *speculation*, which begins from sense and comes through to imagination, and from imagination to reason, from reason to intellect, from intellect to intelligence; and from intelligence to wisdom, or knowledge that exceeds, which begins here on the way but is consummated in everlasting glory.

And in these degrees consists *Jacob's ladder, whose summit touches heaven*[^p260-2]; and *the throne of Solomon*, on which sits the King most wise and truly peaceful and loving, as a bridegroom most beautiful *and altogether desirable*; *upon whom the Angels desire to look*, and toward whom the longing of holy souls sighs, *as the hart longs for the fountains of waters*. And by this most fervent longing, after the manner of fire, our spirit is not only made agile for the ascent, but by a certain *learned ignorance* is caught up above itself into darkness and excess, so that it not only says with the bride: *In the odor of thy ointments we will run*[^p260-3], but also sings with the Prophet: *And the night is my illumination in my delights.* And that nocturnal and delightful illumination no one knows save him who has tasted it, and no one tastes it save through grace divinely given, and it is given to none save to him who exercises himself toward it; therefore the exercises of merits are next to be considered.

translators_notes:
**★★ PAGE SPAN — pp. 258–260, BOTH ENDS FIXED POSITIVELY FROM A HEADING ON THE BAND; the SECOND capitulum in Pars V to touch three printed pages and cross two leaves, after Cap. III.** `Cap. VI. / De ramificatione gratiae in habitus beatitudinum, / et per consequens fructuum et sensuum.` stands at the very **TOP of p. 258's RIGHT column**, directly under the running head, in a **TWO-line** subtitle, exactly where `bon-brev-p5-c5` placed it. Cap. VI fills p. 258's right column entire to `…et *universae viae Domini misericordia et veritas*⁷: hinc est,`; breaks across the first leaf **AT A COMMA, STRANDING THE MAIN CLAUSE FROM ITS `quod`-COMPLEMENT** (`hinc est,` / `quod duplex est beatitudo`); fills p. 259's left column entire to `— *Pietas* autem ad *mititatem*; nam qui pie ad`; crosses p. 259's gutter **ON A STRANDED PREPOSITION GOVERNING NOTHING** (`nam qui pie ad` / `aliquem afficitur`); fills p. 259's right column entire to `…dicunt delectationes consequentes`; breaks across the second leaf **ON A PARTICIPLE STRANDED FROM ITS OBJECT** (`delectationes consequentes` / `opera perfecta`); and closes about **two-thirds down p. 260's LEFT column** at `…ideo deinceps consideranda sunt exercitia meritorum.` **★ The end is fixed POSITIVELY from the `Cap. VII. / De exercitio gratiae respectu credendorum.` heading standing immediately below it IN THE SAME LEFT COLUMN**, with a ONE-line subtitle and Cap. VII's own text following down that column. **Cap. VI touches no right column on p. 260 at all.** No claim here rests on white space, on a grammatically complete tail, or on a running head. ★ **Three breaks in one capitulum and three different shapes again, as in Cap. III — but a different three: Cap. III's were a stranded relative, a stranded verb-object and a stranded adjective; these are a comma-stranded `quod`, a stranded preposition and a stranded participle.** ★ **The index's hypothesis that Cap. VII opens on p. 260 is CONFIRMED — the FIFTH consecutive opening page in Pars V to be right — and the SPAN it implied for Cap. VI (pp. 258–260) also happens to be right, which the last such inference was not. Neither fact is a licence: test every remaining opening on its own band.**

**★★ THE RUNNING HEAD IS ONE UNIT AHEAD FOR THE ELEVENTH CONSECUTIVE LEAF, AND p. 259 IS THE FIRST IN THE RUN THAT IS SIMPLY TRUE.** p. 259's head reads **`PARS V. C. VI.`** on a page that is Cap. VI from its first line to its last — the only leaf in the run where the head names the page's actual and entire content. p. 260's head reads **`BREVILOQUII PARS V. C. VII.`** on a page whose first two-thirds of the left column is still Cap. VI, so the run of anticipation is unbroken at eleven. Both heads were read on the bands. ★ **And p. 259 is the exact reason the head can never be used: it is right here, it was accidentally right on p. 258, and it was wrong on the nine leaves before that — a witness that is sometimes right for no reason is worth nothing.**

**★ THE PAGE MARKER SITS AT THE NEAREST PARAGRAPH BOUNDARY BELOW THE BREAK — BROKEN, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIXTEEN.** Both of this capitulum's leaf breaks fall **mid-paragraph with the paragraph's remainder opening the next page**, and in both cases the nearest boundary below the break is many lines down; the markers are therefore set **at the break itself, inside the paragraph**, so that the printed page each line belongs to stays recoverable. `<!-- page 259 -->` stands before `quod duplex est beatitudo` and `<!-- page 260 -->` before `opera perfecta`. **The fifteen-chunk run of paragraph-boundary markers ends here, and it ends because the page shape changed, not because the convention did.**

**Gutters — one carried-and-re-derived, TWO measured fresh, and BOTH FRESH DEFAULTS REJECTED.** **p. 258 = 1412, RE-DERIVED here rather than adopted from `bon-brev-p5-c5`.** `colcrop.py vol5 258` reproduces `split_x=1412, low-ink run 46 px`; the body-row blank band runs **x = 1382–1442** with an in-gutter ink island at **x = 1405–1414** peaking at 601 rows on x = 1413, midpoint **1412**; the upper-row band runs x = 1376–1436, midpoint 1406, so the rightward drift of ~6 px is reproduced too. **`p5-c5`'s derivation holds in every particular.** — **p. 259 = 1137, measured FRESH.** The default returned `split_x=1137, low-ink run 46 px`, unflagged but far below the 58–64 px sound band and therefore suspect on width; eighteen row windows returned 1150 · 1150 · 1149 · 1147 · 1147 · 1143 · 1143 · 1140 · 1140 · 1140 · 1137 · 1137 · 1137 · 1135 · 1135 · 1134 · 1134 · 1133, which **DRIFT MONOTONICALLY from the page's top to its foot — skew, LEFTWARD this time by ~12 px, the reverse of p. 258's direction on the facing leaf and the third reversal in five leaves.** The ink profile was printed even so, per the standing rule: over the body rows the blank band runs **x = 1114–1160** (left-column ink falls from 48 at x = 1108 to 3 at x = 1114; right-column ink resumes at 13 on x = 1161 and 83 on x = 1163) and it carries **TWO in-gutter islands, not one** — x = 1127–1133 peaking at 189, and x = 1136–1146 peaking at 385. Band midpoint **1137**, which is also the default and three of the eighteen windows. Adopted **1137**. — **p. 260 = 1398, measured FRESH, AND THE DEFAULT REJECTED OUTRIGHT.** `colcrop.py vol5 260` returned `split_x=1386, low-ink run 20 px` — five px above the tool's own failure threshold and a third of the sound band — and the eighteen windows **FORK into exactly two values, 1386/20 px and 1397/60 px, with no drift at all.** The profile settles it and shows why: over the body rows the blank band runs **x = 1367–1430** (left-column ink falls to 3 at x = 1367 and to 0 at x = 1377; right-column ink resumes at 17 on x = 1431, 74 on 1432, 174 on 1433) with a **three-pixel ink island at x = 1397–1399 peaking at 449 rows**, which **splits the zero-ink run in two and leaves the tool measuring only its left half.** Band midpoint **1398**; the upper-row band runs x = 1368–1426 with the same island at the same x, midpoint 1397 — **p. 260 is essentially unskewed, ~1 px, after five consecutive skewed leaves.** Adopted **1398**. ★★ **AND THE OBSTRUCTION IS NOW IDENTIFIED, WHICH MATTERS FOR EVERY REMAINING LEAF: it is Quaracchi's PRINTED COLUMN RULE, not a marginal gloss set low.** A direct 250 px crop of each gutter shows a black vertical rule standing between the columns on p. 259 (at x ≈ 1128–1133) and on p. 260 (at x ≈ 1397–1399); p. 258's island at 1405–1414 is the same mark. **The rule is not an obstruction to be worked around — it IS the gutter's centre line, and the blank-band midpoint agrees with it on all three leaves.** ★ **This explains the whole "in-gutter obstruction on ten leaves out of eleven" observation retroactively, and it predicts the failure mode: when the rule prints heavily enough to sit ABOVE the min-ink threshold, the tool measures only the blank half beside it and returns a plausible number on a short run — exactly what happened on p. 260.** Series now 1194 · 1337 · 1211 · 1341 · 1210 · 1331 · 1209 · 1338 · 1200 · 1338 · 1228 · 1361 · 1186 · 1367 · 1201 · 1345 · 1209 · 1391 · 1182 · 1390 · 1160 · 1403 · 1250 · 1357 · 1206 · 1355 · 1200 · 1412 · **1137** · **1398**. ★ **p. 259 = 1137 is the NARROWEST gutter measured anywhere in Pars V — 23 px below p. 251's old minimum — and it stands 275 px from p. 258's 1412, by far the widest adjacent gap in the pars. Pars V's range is now 1137–1412, 275 px wide, and it is still opening on both ends. Nothing predicts anything.**

**Apparatus (15 entries), ownership from anchors on the bands.** This chunk owns **p. 258 nn. 5–7** (inherited, every claim re-derived), **p. 259 nn. 1–9** (first-read, closing that register entire) and **p. 260 nn. 1–3** (first-read). Every anchor below was read on the band at 450 dpi under direct high-factor zoom.

- p. 259 n. **6** on `Est enim duodenarius numerus *abundans*`⁶ — **RIGHT** column, beside the `De numero duodenario.` gloss; entry in the **RIGHT** block.
- p. 259 n. **7** on `inter nos habitantis`⁷ — **RIGHT** column, on the fifth of the five spiritual senses; entry in the **RIGHT** block.

- p. 260 n. **3** on `*In odorem unguentorum tuorum curremus*`³ — **LEFT** column, on Cap. VI's third-to-last sentence; entry in the **LEFT** block, where it is broken off at `ubi in textu verba` and completed unnumbered at the head of the RIGHT block.

**★★ WHAT THIS CHUNK INHERITED — p. 258 nn. 5–7, AND ALL THREE HELD IN EVERY PARTICULAR.** `bon-brev-p5-c5` forwarded three notes with **ownership, column and position declared verified for each**, and the full text of each. All of it was re-derived from p. 258's bands here rather than adopted. **Every ownership held; every column held; every position held; and all three texts held VERBATIM, including n. 5's `d. 34. p. 1. a. 1. q. 1.` and `d. 36. q. 1.`, n. 6's `p. III. c. 8.` and n. 7's `d. XXX. c. 7.`** ★ **The hand-off's own corroboration for n. 7 also holds: `languoris concupiscentialis` does stand seven lines above n. 7's anchor, inside the sentence n. 6 annotates, so the `Superius pro concupiscentialis` lemma checks itself against the body without leaving the page.** ★ **Running score: forwarded OWNERSHIP has now held FOURTEEN times in FOURTEEN; forwarded DETAIL has failed twice in fourteen, both times from hand-offs that admitted the detail was unverified; and a hand-off that states plainly what it verified has now been fully vindicated twice running.**

**★ WHAT THIS CHUNK FORWARDS — p. 260 nn. 4–7, FOUR NOTES, TO `bon-brev-p5-c7`.** **p. 260's register is SEVEN** (left block nn. 1–3, right block n. 3's unnumbered runover then nn. 4–7), band-derived here and newly fed to `check-vol5-apparatus.py`. Only nn. 1–3 anchor in Cap. VI. For each forwarded note, what was verified is named:
- n. **4** — **OWNERSHIP, COLUMN and POSITION all verified.** Anchor on `cuiusmodi sunt petitiones orationis dominicae`⁴, closing Cap. VII's opening division, **LEFT** column, about six lines below the `Cap. VII.` heading; entry in the **RIGHT** block. Its text is `De his quatuor agitur in hoc et 3 seqq. capp. — Superius pro *articuli* E *illa quae spectant ad articulum*.`
- n. **5** — **OWNERSHIP and BLOCK COLUMN verified; the ANCHOR POSITION is an UNREAD REGION and is deliberately NOT inferred.** Entry in the **RIGHT** block. Its text is `Cfr. III. Sent. d. 23-25. — Superius pro *plurima* I K L V *plura*. Subinde pro *dicuntur* S *sunt dicendi*, et pro *ediderunt* L *condiderunt*.` ★ **Its `Superius pro plurima` lemma points at `astringamur credere plurima`, which stands on the LAST line of p. 260's LEFT column — so the entry's own lemma places its neighbourhood, and that is a hint, not a reading.**
- n. **6** — **OWNERSHIP and BLOCK COLUMN verified; the ANCHOR POSITION is an UNREAD REGION.** Entry in the **RIGHT** block. Its text is `E P W et 2 *humilis*.`
- n. **7** — **OWNERSHIP and BLOCK COLUMN verified; the ANCHOR POSITION is an UNREAD REGION.** Entry in the **RIGHT** block. Its text is `Respicitur II. Cor. 10, 5. Cfr. supra pag. 52, nota 7. — Ante *redigat* M addit *totum*. Inferius pro *improbandae* O Q *improbitate* (plures codd. *improbatae*).` ★ **Its `Ante redigat` lemma answers to `quod se redigat in obsequium Christi` in p. 260's RIGHT column, and II Cor. 10, 5 is `in captivitatem redigentes omnem intellectum in obsequium Christi` — the citation and the lemma agree, which places the note but does NOT read its anchor.**
★ **`p5-c5`'s vindicated practice is followed exactly: what was read is stated as read, and what was not is named as unread rather than inferred from the block column — which on p. 259, one leaf back, would have been WRONG for n. 5, whose anchor is in the RIGHT column and whose entry prints in the LEFT block.**

**Runover findings — FOUR OWED, FOUR CLOSED, TWO POSITIVE and TWO NEGATIVE.**
- *Page-crossing, p. 258 → p. 259 — **NEGATIVE**, closed from both sides, as owed.* p. 258's right footer block ends complete at n. 7 (`…cfr. Magister II. Sent. d. XXX. c. 7.`) with clear paper below it, and **p. 259's left footer block opens NUMBERED: `¹ Plures codd., inter quos L M, hic et inferius sanctitatis.`** Not logged as an event; carried in this chunk's negative accounting.
- *Gutter-crossing within p. 259 — **POSITIVE**, and this chunk's own.* p. 259's left block breaks off **inside n. 5, MID-SENTENCE at a preposition** (`…G substituit *quam* pro`), and p. 259's right block opens **UNNUMBERED** with `quod. Superius pro *hanc vallem* I K L M O P *hac valle*, et subinde plures codd., inter quos E L M, omittunt *corporali*.` The entry is rendered JOINED above. **LOGGED as `p.259 n.5:gutter`.** ★ **Note the shape: the break falls between `pro` and the word it governs, `quod` — the same stranded-preposition shape as the body's own gutter crossing eleven inches above it on the same leaf. Coincidence, and recorded as one.**
- *Page-crossing, p. 259 → p. 260 — **NEGATIVE**, closed from both sides, as owed.* p. 259's right block ends complete at n. 9 (`⁹ Gal. 5, 22. seq.`, a single line) with clear paper below it, and **p. 260's left block opens NUMBERED: `¹ Secundum August., XII. de Gen. ad lit. c. 6. n. 15. seqq.`**
- *Gutter-crossing within p. 260 — **POSITIVE**, and this chunk's own, because n. 3 is Cap. VI's.* p. 260's left block breaks off **inside n. 3, MID-CLAUSE** (`…et Itinerar. mentis in Deum, c. 7, ubi in textu verba`), and p. 260's right block opens **UNNUMBERED** with `Dionysii de raptu in caliginem et excessum allegantur aliique doctores citantur. — Inferius ante *nemini* delevimus cum C K L M O P T *quae quia*; post *nemini* P T addunt *autem*.` The entry is rendered JOINED above. **LOGGED as `p.260 n.3:gutter`.** ★ **This is the second consecutive leaf whose gutter runover is POSITIVE, after seven consecutive leaves of negatives in Pars V — and note that the OWNER of a gutter runover is decided by the anchor, not by the block: p. 260's runover belongs to this chunk while nn. 4–7 in the same block belong to the next.**
- *NOT re-logged here:* p. 257's own gutter test, the p. 257 → p. 258 test and p. 258's own gutter test (all three `p5-c5`); p. 256's own gutter test and p. 256 → p. 257 (both `p5-c4`); `p.255 n.8:gutter` and the p. 254 → p. 255 and p. 255 → p. 256 tests (all three `p5-c3`); `p.253 n.9:page` and `p.254 n.3:gutter` (both `p5-c2`); the p. 252 → p. 253 test and p. 253's own gutter test (both `p5-c1`).

**★ NO PRINTER'S SIGNATURE AND NO QUIRE SIGNATURE ON ANY OF THE THREE PAGES.** `S. Bonav. — Tom. V.` last fell on p. 257 with the quire signature `33`; pp. 258, 259 and 260 carry neither mark, and all three footer registers were read to their last line to confirm it. The next signature remains due around p. 265. **Neither mark is ever an entry; neither was counted, because neither is here.**

**★★ p. 259's FOOTER IS A TWENTIETH CONFIGURATION: the block break stands ONE NOTE BELOW the anchor break AND falls INSIDE the note that straddles them.** p. 259's **anchors** divide **4 / 5** (nn. 1–4 LEFT column, nn. 5–9 RIGHT); its **blocks** divide **5 / 4** (nn. 1–5 LEFT, nn. 6–9 RIGHT). The dissenting note is **n. 5**, whose anchor stands in the RIGHT column and whose entry begins in the LEFT block — and which then runs over the gutter, so that a single entry is physically present in both blocks while belonging to a column it does not print under. **There is no capitulum line on p. 259 at all: the whole page is Cap. VI.** ★ **p. 260 is the answering case: its anchors divide 3 / 4, its blocks divide 3 / 4 (with n. 3's runover), and its CAPITULUM line falls between nn. 3 and 4 — so all three lines coincide, for the first time in Pars V.** **Three leaves, three relations between block, column and capitulum: on p. 258 the block dissents by two, on p. 259 by one, on p. 260 not at all. Read anchors, only anchors.**

**Digits and sigla settled off the bands** (450 dpi; every upright compared against a same-line or same-entry contrast before being recorded). **This leaf-run's register is dominated by the `1`/`4` class, but the `3`/`5` class produces the single most consequential correction on the three pages, and the raw fails it silently.**
- **★★ `Phil. 4, 7.` (p. 259 n. 2) — the raw gives `Phil. l, 7`, and this is the dangerous class: a plausible citation that is simply the wrong verse.** On the band the sort is open-topped with a diagonal meeting a horizontal bar — a `4` — against the flagged, closed-stem `1`s standing in `Prov. 20, 28.` nowhere and in n. 3's `I. Tim. 6, 10.` one entry below. ★ **Sense settles it outright and the note settles itself: Phil. 4, 7 IS `Et pax Dei, quae exsuperat omnem sensum, custodiat corda vestra`, which the entry quotes IN FULL in its own next clause, and the body's `per pacem Dei omnem humanum sensum exsuperantem` stands three lines above the anchor. Phil. 1, 7 says nothing of the kind.**
- **★★ `Cant. 5, 16` (p. 260 n. 2) — the `3`/`5` class, and the raw gives `Cant. 3, 16`.** On the band the sort is a flat top bar over a single lower bowl — a `5` — against the double-bowled `3` of `nota 3` in n. 1 four lines above and the `III. Reg.` roman on the same line. ★ **Sense settles it: Cant. 5, 16 is `totus desiderabilis`, and the body's anchor sentence reads `ut sponsus speciosissimus et desiderabilis totus`. Cant. 3, 16 does not exist as cited.**
- **★★ `Ps. 41, 1.` (p. 260 n. 2) — the raw shatters it to `Ps. i 1 , 1 .`** On the band `41` sets an open-topped `4` against a flagged `1`, the two sorts touching, which is the entry's own contrast set. ★ **Sense settles it: Ps. 41 is `Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum`, and the body's last italic clause is `sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum`.**
- **★★ `n. 15. seqq.` and `c. 10-14` (p. 260 n. 1) — the `1`/`4` class in both directions inside ONE entry, and the raw destroys both (`u. \!i.` and `c. 10-U.`).** `15` sets a flagged `1` against a flat-barred `5`; `10-14` sets two flagged `1`s against an open-topped `4`, all four sorts in one hyphenated pair. ★ **Sense settles the first: Augustine *De Genesi ad litteram* XII is the book that distinguishes the corporeal, spiritual and intellectual visions, and it does so at c. 6, n. 15 and following — which is exactly the triad the anchor names.**
- **★★ `c. 56.` (p. 259 n. 6) — a `5` and a `6` side by side, the raw giving `5G`.** The `5` is flat-barred over a single bowl, the `6` closed-bowled with a curved ascender; the entry's own `972` and `IV.` supply arabic and roman contrast.
- **★★ `homil. 7. n. 11` and `c. 13. n. 32.` and `serm. 62. n. 4.` (p. 259 n. 8) — SEVEN digits in three citations, against TWO romans in the same sentence (`II. Homil.`, `V. de Considerat.`).** The raw gives `homil. 7. n. II` — **the arabic pair read as a LETTER, the same failure it made on p. 257 n. 7 (`Sap. 7, H.`) two leaves back, in the identical `n. NN` slot** — and `n. i.` for `n. 4.`. On the band both uprights of `11` carry the angled flag and neither has the slab serifs of the `II.` opening the same sentence; `4` is open-topped. ★ **Note the standing rule doing the work: a two-upright form is decidable ONLY against a same-line contrast, and this entry provides one twice over.**
- **★★ `sect. 46` (p. 259 n. 8) and `p. III.` — an arabic pair beside a roman in one clause.** `46` sets an open-topped `4` against a closed-bowled `6`; `III` is three slab-serifed uprights. ★ **`p. III.` is the *Centiloquium*'s own Pars III, not a page — the same slot in which p. 258 n. 6 and p. 259 n. 3 both set `p. III.` and the raw gave `p. 111.` and `p. 111.` respectively. THREE occurrences of this slot on three consecutive pages, all roman.**
- **★★ SIGLA — `C H K` (p. 259 n. 3), `G H` (p. 259 n. 4), `H` standing alone (p. 259 n. 5), `H` (p. 259 n. 6): FOUR crossbar-less `H`s in one register, and the raw corrupts three of them differently.** Each is **TWO uprights**, which is the only form that can be a crossbar-less `H`; each sits in an alphabetical run (`C H K`, `G H`) or in a bare witness slot before an italic lemma; and the raw gives `CIIK`, `G II`, `II quae` and — for the fourth — **`U numero`**, the chronic raw `U`-for-`H` this corpus has met before. ★ **Against them, `I K L M O P` and `E L M` (p. 259 n. 5's runover), `I K L V` (p. 260 n. 5), `C K L M O P T` (p. 260 n. 3) and `P Q T U V Z` (p. 259 n. 8) all open or contain SINGLE uprights, and every one is `I`: one upright is never `H`, and every run is strictly alphabetical on that reading and on no other.**
- **★★ `et 1` (p. 259 n. 3) and `et 2` (p. 259 nn. 1, 6 and 8) — NUMERALS IN THE WITNESS SLOT, WHICH ARE ALWAYS EDITIONS HERE.** In n. 3 the edition `1` stands eleven characters after the codex `K` of `C H K`, and in n. 6 the edition `2` stands between the codices `F G N` and the codex `H` — **the edition siglum and the codex siglum as different sorts inside one clause, for the fourth time in six leaves.** The raw closes `CIIK ct 1` up and merges them.
- **★ `Osee 6, 6`, `Matth. 9, 13. et 12, 7.` (p. 259 n. 5), `Matth. 16, 24` and `Vers. 21` (p. 259 n. 4), `Ioan. 1, 14.` and `Ioan. 13, 1.` (p. 259 n. 7), `Gal. 5, 22. seq.` (p. 259 n. 9), `Prov. 20, 28.` (p. 259 n. 2), `I. Tim. 6, 10.` (p. 259 n. 3), `Gen. 28, 12.` and `III. Reg. 10, 18.` and `I. Petr. 1, 12.` (p. 260 n. 2), `Cant. 1, 3.` and `Ps. 138, 11.` and `d. 23.` and `q. 7.` and `c. 3.` and `c. 7` (p. 260 n. 3), `pag. 8, nota 4` and `pag. 503, nota 4` (p. 260 n. 1) — all read clean, each against a same-line contrast.** ★ **Sense checks pass on every citation that has one, and several of them are unusually strong because the note quotes what it cites: Osee 6, 6 and Matt. 9, 13 are the `misericordiam volui et non sacrificium` pair behind `super omnia reputat holocausta`; Matth. 19, 21 and 16, 24 are quoted verbatim in the body and in the note respectively; Ioan. 1, 14 is `Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis`, which is the anchor `Verbi incarnati, inter nos habitantis`; Ioan. 13, 1 is `ut transiret ex hoc mundo ad Patrem`, which is the body's next clause; Gal. 5, 22–23 lists the twelve fruits the anchor has just named; I Tim. 6, 10 is `radix omnium malorum est cupiditas`, quoted in the body; Gen. 28, 12 is Jacob's ladder; I Petr. 1, 12 is `in quem desiderant Angeli prospicere`; Cant. 1, 3 is `In odorem unguentorum tuorum currimus`; Ps. 138, 11 is `Et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis`. Every digit that could be tested was settled twice — by the glyph and by the text it names.**

**Preserved as printed, not harmonised.**
- **★★ THE PLATE READS `curremus` WHERE THE VULGATE READS `currimus`, AND THE NOTE DOES NOT MENTION IT.** p. 260's body sets `*In odorem unguentorum tuorum curremus*` and n. 3 gives only the reference, `Cant. 1, 3.` **The body's `curremus` stands as printed; no divergence was closed and none was invented.**
- **★★ THE ITALIC WAS FOLLOWED PER PARAGRAPH AND NOT REGULARISED, AND THE THREE ENUMERATED SERIES ARE TREATED THREE DIFFERENT WAYS.** ★ **(i) THE SEVEN BEATITUDES are set in FULL ITALIC at their first naming** (`*paupertas spiritus, mititas, luctus, esuries iustitiae, misericordia, munditia cordis* et *pax*`) **and italicised again one by one at every assignment, on BOTH sides of each assignment** (`*timor* disponit ad *spiritus paupertatem*`, `*Pietas* autem ad *mititatem*`, `*Scientia* disponit ad *luctum*`, …), which is Cap. IV's principle and the exact opposite of Cap. V's, where the answering term went roman through all seven members. ★ **(ii) THE TWELVE FRUITS are NOT NAMED at their first mention at all** — p. 258 gives only the number and the italic head-term (`duodecim *fructus Spiritus*`) — **and are named only 130 lines later in the corollary, where all twelve are set in unbroken italic** (`*caritas, gaudium, pax, patientia, longanimitas, bonitas, benignitas, mansuetudo, fides, modestia, continentia, castitas*`). **The naming and the assignment are separated by two printed pages, which is why the italic principle for them cannot be read off their first appearance.** ★ **(iii) THE FIVE SENSES are never given as a list of nouns at all.** They are realised as **five italic passive VERBS** (`*videtur* … *auditur* … *gustatur* … *odoratur* … *astringitur*`), each governing an italic capitalised object (`*Splendoris*`, `*Verbi*`, `*Sapientiae*`, `*Verbi inspirati*`, `*Verbi incarnati*`) — **and the italic on the objects is inconsistent within a single clause: `sub ratione *Sapientiae* comprehendentis utrumque, Verbum scilicet et Splendorem` sets `Verbum` and `Splendorem` ROMAN four words after setting the same two words italic as `*Verbi*` and `*Splendoris*`.** ★ **And the tail of the assignment series breaks its own rule once: `Disponit ergo timor ad spiritus paupertatem.` is wholly ROMAN, three lines after `*timor* disponit ad *spiritus paupertatem*` was wholly italic on both sides.** ★ **Also `scilicet *esuries* sive zelus *iustitiae*` splits a two-word beatitude around a roman gloss word.** **Three series, three principles, and a fourth local exception inside one of them. The plate's italic is not a rule you may complete.**
- **★★ THE `Ratio autem ad intelligentiam praedictorum haec est: quia` COLON — NINETEENTH consecutive attestation** (Pars III capp. IX–XI, Pars IV capp. I–X, Pars V capp. I–VI). It opens here on a **plain causal `cum … sit` period** (`quia, cum reparativum principium sit perfectissimum…`), which is capp. I–III's shape returning after Cap. IV's `sicut… sic` comparison and Cap. V's concessive `cum … non tantum … verum etiam` — **a fourth shape in six capitula, and the first repeat.** ★ **`p5-c5` forecast exactly this from p. 258's visible right column, and it is right; note that it forecast a layout it could see, not one it deduced.**
- **★★ THE EM-DASH ARTICULATION RETURNS AT ELEVEN — A FIFTEENTH DISTINCT DISTRIBUTION, AND IT DOES TWO DIFFERENT JOBS INSIDE ONE CAPITULUM.** After Cap. V's ZERO, Cap. VI carries **eleven** em-dashes. **Five are the ordinary articulating kind**, marking an internal turn inside a paragraph (`— Ad has beatitudines propter sui perfectionem…`, `— Quia vero perfectus *processus in bono*…`, `— Quoniam autem *status in optimo* est…`, `— Ad perfectionem vero *praelationis*…`, `— Ad perfectionem autem *internae sanctitudinis*…`). **The other SIX run consecutively through the *Tertio* paragraph, one before each of the seven gift-to-beatitude assignments EXCEPT the first** (`— *Pietas* autem…`, `— *Scientia* disponit…`, `— *Fortitudo* autem…`, `— *Consilium* disponit…`, `— *Intellectus* disponit…`, `— *Sapientia* disponit…`). ★ **So in this capitulum the dash IS an enumeration marker — for exactly one of the three series, and only in that series' third proof. A reader counting the beatitudes from dashes would get SIX, not seven, because `Timor enim facit recedere` carries none; a reader counting the fruits or the senses from dashes would get NONE at all.** Transcribed, never regularised, and never counted from members.
- **`Deus`, `Dei`, `Domini`, `Christum`, `Christi`, `Salvator`, `Rex`, `Angeli`, `Patrem`, `Prophetis`, `Propheta`, `Iacob`, `Salomonis`, `Spiritus`, `Splendoris`, `Splendorem`, `Verbi`, `Verbum`, `Sapientiae`, `Ecclesia`, `Scriptura`, `Matthaei`, `August.`, `Gregor.`, `Bernard.`, `Dionysii`, `Sent.` are capitalised as printed**, and `gratia`, `beatitudo`, `fructus`, `sensus`, `habitus`, `donum`, `virtus`, `timor`, `pietas`, `scientia`, `fortitudo`, `consilium`, `intellectus`, `sapientia` are not; the English follows. `Iacob` and `iustitiae` keep the plate's `I`/`i` for consonantal *J*.

**Enumerations preserved exactly — THREE SERIES, and they do not run in parallel.** The **SEVEN** beatitudes of Matthew 5 (*paupertas spiritus, mititas, luctus, esuries iustitiae, misericordia, munditia cordis, pax*) — **seven and not eight, which n. 5 states expressly (`Quoad numerum beatitudinum, septem, non octo`) and refers to III *Sent.* d. 36 for.** They are then proved sevenfold **THREE** separate ways, each with its own internal partition: (1) from the **integritas perfectionis**, split 3 + 2 + 2 (three against the triple root of evil, two answering the two ways of divine imitation, two for the twofold rest in the best); (2) from the **modi perfectionum**, split 3 + 2 + 2 again but on entirely different grounds (religio, praelatio, interna sanctitudo); (3) from the **dispositiones praeambulae**, split 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 against the seven gifts one-for-one. ★ **Two of the three proofs partition the seven identically (3 + 2 + 2) and mean nothing alike by it — the first divides by the object, the second by the state of life. Cap. V's seven proofs never repeated a partition; this capitulum's three do, and the repeat is a coincidence of arithmetic, not of structure.** — Then the **TWELVE** fruits of Galatians 5, given as a bare Vulgate list and grounded on twelve's being an *abundant* number, with no partition at all. — Then the **FIVE** spiritual senses, given as five acts (*videri, audiri, gustari, odorari, astringi*) against five aspects of the Word, and note that **the fifth is `astringitur`, not `tangitur`** — the plate declines the obvious term and n. 7 records A's variant *amplectitur*. ★ **Finally two corollaries, glossed and numbered as such: `Corollarium 1.` distributes virtues / gifts / beatitudes over active, contemplative and both; `Corollarium 2.` gathers the six speculative degrees into Jacob's ladder and Solomon's throne. The chapter's title promises three things and the chapter delivers five members — three series and two corollaries.**

**Marginalia** (Quaracchi editorial side-glosses, trimmed from the body per corpus convention; logged here in body order). p. 258 R — "Septem beatitudines." · "Duodecim fructus" · "Quinque sensus spirituales." · "De beatitudinibus." · "Tria colliguntur ex triplici ratione." · "Prima ratio ex triplici radice." · "Subdistinctio." p. 259 L — "Secunda, item." · "Tertia secundum 7 dona." p. 259 R — "De fructibus et sensibus spiritualibus." · "De numero duodenario." · "Corollarium 1." p. 260 L — "Revelatio per triplicem visionem." · "Speculatio per 6 gradus." · "Corollarium 2." · "Docta ignorantia." **Sixteen glosses, and a SIXTEENTH distinct form — TWO INDEPENDENT NUMBERED SERIES running inside one capitulum, interleaved with topical glosses.** ★ **Series A is `Prima ratio ex triplici radice. / Secunda, item. / Tertia secundum 7 dona.` — three members mapping one-for-one onto the three proofs, with the noun dropped after the first exactly as Cap. V's `Causa prima.` series dropped it, but abbreviated DIFFERENTLY in each member (`Secunda, item.` drops the noun and adds an adverb; `Tertia secundum 7 dona.` drops the noun and adds a fresh qualification).** ★ **Series B is `Corollarium 1. / Corollarium 2.` — two members, keeping the noun in both, and separated by twenty-five printed lines and a page.** ★ **`Duodecim fructus` is printed WITHOUT a terminal period where its neighbours have one; recorded as printed and not repaired.** ★ **Two glosses set arabic numerals inside their own text (`secundum 7 dona`, `per 6 gradus`) where the body spells the numbers out.** **FIVE consecutive capitula, FIVE different gloss grammars. Transcribe the glosses as printed; regularise nothing; never infer a capitulum's gloss form from its neighbour's.**

**No `[?]` flags.** Six readings could have carried one — the raw's `Phil. l, 7` for `Phil. 4, 7`, its `Cant. 3, 16` for `Cant. 5, 16`, its `Ps. i 1 , 1 .` for `Ps. 41, 1.`, its `homil. 7. n. II` for `n. 11.`, its `U numero` for `H numero`, and its `V lcgit` for `F legit` — and each is settled positively on the band, by the flag-versus-slab-serif contrast, by the upright count, by the alphabetical run and the grammatical slot, or by the cited text checking itself word for word against its anchor. The reasoning is recorded above in full rather than compressed into a flag.

**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 next Pars V agent's benefit. ★ **The headline finding is that the swing is now WITHIN A SINGLE COLUMN as well as between columns: p. 259's left column is clean in its first twenty lines and degrades sharply below the `Tertio` paragraph, with no heading anywhere near the transition.**
- **p. 258, right column (Cap. VI's portion only) — GOOD.** `ramiricatione autein graliae`, `bculitudinum`, `se[)tem`, `inilitas`, `iusliliae`, `iimericordia`, `mundilia`, `.Ul h;ts`, `proiJtei' sui perfeclionem`, `pleiiitudinem`, `bpirilus et qum-que seiisus spiriluales consequunlur`, `iiovos iialiUus`, `stalus`, `spi-ritualium s[)eculationum`, `liaec`, `re[)arativuin`, `[)er donum`, `giatiae (lonuin ab i[)so`, `inaiians liljeraliter`, `nabitus`, `approximenl`, `bcaliludi-iium`, `nuincrus`, `colli-gilur`, `latcgrilutc`, `perfc-clionum`, `disposilionibus`, `igltur`, `inlcgritatem`, `|)erfectus rccessus`, `i^erfectus`, `oplimo`, `su-[)erbiae`, `inalitiae`, `languorc`, `{)erfecte`, `geneie`, `beatitudincs`, `scilioet`, `spirilus`, `mitilas`, `luclus`, `Qiiia vero`, `proccssus iii bono`, `secunduin`, `universac viac Qoinini miscricordia cl verilas`. **About forty-five garbles in thirty-two printed lines, with NO word destroyed and NO gloss destroyed** (the glosses splice in whole: `sejMom 1.0.1-`, `Duodechu`, `(jainano`, `sensus 3i>i-riiuaies.`, `do i.eaiiiu-dinibus.`, `ina coiii-ganturextri-vuantmw.`, `Piima rauo vadice.`, `subdisiiu-`). ★ **Density HIGH, severity LOW — every garble is a bracket-for-letter or single-letter substitution and every word is recoverable. Note `Qoinini` for `Domini`, which is the closest this region comes to a real trap and is caught by the Psalm citation in n. 7.**
- **p. 259, left column, ABOVE the *Tertio* paragraph — GOOD.** `quoil diiplfix est beatilndo`, `scrundiiin lias dnas`, `csvries sive zclus iiisiuiue`, `u(J'cclu.i niiscriconliae`, `.ilulus iii oplimo`, `limpidani cotjnitioneiu`, `afrectionem`, `sunl dnae nltiinae`, `mundilia`, `Denm videnduin`, `mcntis`, `iierfecte iruendum`, `perfcclionum attendan-`, `.-.ecuncia, tur` (the gloss `Secunda, item.` spliced into the line), `debenl esse septcm liabitns`, `pcrfectio`, `inlerme sunclitudinis`, `perfeclioncin`, `rcliijianis`, `acceptatio`, `aetcrni`, `flt`, `paupertalcm spirilus`, `sccundum`, `mititatem alfcclus`, `pcr amariluilinein luctm`, `nccessario requi-runtur`, `zclus iiislitiae el affcctus misericordiue`, `cnstodiunt rc-jjeiii`, `liaec`, `militantc`, `iiiternae .mnctitiulinis requiritnr`, `puritus coHscieiUiae et tranquiiiitas`, `paccm`, `oninem humannm`, `exsupe-rantem`. **About thirty-eight garbles in twenty-four printed lines, ONE gloss spliced but recoverable, NOTHING destroyed.** ★ **Density HIGH, severity LOW.**
- **p. 259, left column, BELOW and INCLUDING the *Tertio* paragraph — POOR, and the degradation happens with no structural marker at all.** `praeamlm-Tcrti.isrcaii-/((e;` (**the gloss `Tertia secundum 7 dona.` DESTROYED and spliced through the word `praeambulae`, which is itself destroyed**), `septcm debent essc beatiludines`, `Tiinor cnim`, `duin 7 dona.`, `facit rcccdere`, `a niali occasione`, `cupiditas ^`, `\([co tiinor`, `panpertatem`, `siinul iun-gitur`, `elongetur`, `culpac`, `supcrbia`, `panpcrtas spiritus`, `cvangelicae`, `Undc`, `fundamentuin sternerc`, `culmcn perfectionis vcnire`, `Mat-thaei`, `pcrfectus csse`, `ueiule omnia, (juae huhes`, `perfecta paMpc?-to^,` (**`paupertas` DESTROYED**), `scquere me`, `humiiitas'`, `bonio`, `cruccin`, `principalissimuin fnnda-mentum`, `pauperta-tem`, `militatcm`, `pic ad`. **About thirty garbles in eighteen printed lines, ONE gloss DESTROYED, TWO words DESTROYED.** ★ **Density HIGH, severity MODERATE — and the transition from the region above happens INSIDE a paragraph, with no heading, no rule and no column break to mark it. Grade the run, and do not assume a grade holds to the foot of the column you measured it in.**

A chunk built from the raw would have lost the series' head and kept its tail, which is the shape that reads as complete.**
