A scribe’s effort to correct an omission. The words that were accidentally left out are pulled along by one man who passes them to another who waits between the fourth and fifth lines to receive them - c. 1300, English Book of Hours, Walters Ms. W.102, f. 39v

It is argued that 'claricia' who is depicted swinging from the initial 'Q'(uid) at the beginning of Psalm 51, is the illuminator.

You know him for
/Against the Christians/,
/Homeric Questions/,
/On the Cave of the Nymphs/,
the /Isagoge/,
and /On Not Eating Animals/.
More from Porphyry coming soon! Like the Pearlsong, this volume will be available as an open-access PDF and a beautiful hard copy.

This week I finished typesetting the next 4T book, Fabien Muller on Porphyry's Letter to Anebo & Philosophy from Oracles: Greek & Latin fragments, Eng. translations, glossaries, and short commentary.

Stay tuned if you're interested in gods and daemons, theurgy, and oracles in dactylic hexameter!
