Sapiencia huius mundi
stulticia apud .R.12.150: One might construe R's script at the end of this citation as
agreeing with the other witnesses if <ap> were taken as ap(ud) and <d>+backslash were seen as an abbreviation for d(eum). Neither Kane-Donaldson nor I read it that way, however. The R
scribe never elsewhere uses such an abbreviation for deum
and, in fact, no such abbreviation is recognized by Capelli (Dizionario di
Abbreviature latine ed italiane) nor by Walther (Lexicon Diplomaticum). Instead R customarily spells the form as
deu(m) (six times out of seven—the seventh form is
d(eu)m). Moreover, Capelli recognizes the actual form
written by R, apd, as a late
fourteenth-century form for apud.
&cetera .R.12.150: Here alpha omits eleven lines present in
beta (and also found in a revised form in Cx):
For þe heihe holigoste heuene shal to-cleue
And loue shal lepe out after
into þis lowe erthe
And clennesse shal cacchen it and clerkes shullen it fynde
Pastores loquebantur ad inuicem
He speketh þere of riche men riȝt nouȝt ne
of riȝt witty
Ne of lordes þat were lewed men but of þe hexte lettred oute
Ibant magi ab oriente &c.
If any frere were founde þere Ich ȝif þe fyue shillynges
Ne in none
beggares cote was þat barne borne
But in a burgeys place of bethlem þe best
Set non erat ei locus in diuersorio & pauper non habet
diuersorium.
