Without one, a statement that a particular degree image originates in this book cannot be checked, and the printed edition risks being treated as a source when it may only be a witness.What would resolve this A collation of the surviving manuscript witnesses of the degree image material against the 1488 Augsburg printing, establishing the recension the editor worked from and the extent of editorial change.OpenHistory of astrology; incunable and manuscript studies; textual criticismDivinity Atlas Open Questions Register, First EditionCross-Tradition ConnectionsQuestion OnJohannes Angelus, Historical Figures Well-attested Source Divinity Atlas Open Questions Register, First Editiontier 1SourcesDivinity Atlas Open Questions Register, First Editiontier 1Comments (0)No comments yet.
