ALTERATIONS IN THE MANUSCRIPTS
All alterations in manuscripts made during the course of writing and
revision that have not previously been shown in the Historical Collation are
recorded here. The medium is black ink.
The lemmata—readings to the left of the bracket—are
those of the
Eversley edition and ordinarily represent agreement of book and
manuscript.
To permit a condensed entry in one instance (l. 14), a single dagger (†)
prefixed to the line reference warns the
reader to use the Historical Collation for the exact manuscript reading
where
it is not precisely that of the lemma and has not been specified in the
descriptive part of the entry.
