Examples of Scribal Habits

The sections below provide a comprehensive list of examples within the sam-
ple corpus for each scribal habit considered in this article. These citations are
organized both according to the work in which they appear and their distribu-
tion across the manuscript witnesses: unique examples appear only in Thornton's
manuscript; shared examples appear in both Thornton and at least one other
witness; counter-examples appear only in manuscripts other than Thornton's.
