It
is unclear why the scribe's lineation went wrong here (running together the Latin quotation
with half the following English line, so that the b-verse ended up relegated to a line of its
own). It seems likely that the problem is related to a larger problem of textual order
between KDProl.188 and 197 in Bx (See Kane-Donaldson, p. 176, for their
editorial reasoning on re-ordering this passage). However, there is no evidence that the R
scribe had any clue about the source of the problem. The <f> at the head of RP.66 is
not capitalized, but it is touched in red, and the small + in the left margin is probably
irrelevant; similar marks are found beside most lines that were to have been boxed in red
(unnoted in this edition).
