Project Update: Second Draft of Edition Complete

This October, we wrapped up the second draft of the complete Liber Uricrisiarum, finishing the textual apparatus and re-proofing the text proper from the first full draft, which we finished in the summer. Because of the length of the text, the large number of witnesses, and the complexities of the textual tradition, the apparatus is highly selective, focused on errors only. Most of those errors are manifest at first reading, while some become clear upon comparison of variants. The final edition will require at least one more complete pass through the text and apparatus, primarily in a copy-editing mode to catch any remaining inconsistencies or errors in transcription.
