PART II in our ninth century MS., because the con- words have been sepai-ated from the rest.) A palaeographer can make a guess at the 'causa erroris,' an Insular (i.e. English, Irish, etc.) variety of « known as 'high-backed a,' which might be mistaken for ol
52 THE CORPUS, EPINAL, ERFURT AND LEYDEN GLOSSARIES Aff. and Erf.^ it usually agrees with the EE Glossary. We may] ' therefore make a kind of 'stemma codicum' in which Aff. and Erf.^ represent one setting of this material common to all four glossaries, while Corp. and EE represent another (e.g. compareJ Corp. B 225 and C. G. L. v 349, 15 with C. G. L. v 271, 62 and IV 489, 29). The four (or more often three, since EE made so small use of the material) not merely correct each the other's corruptions of the text, but can also be used for the reconstruction of the two archetype collections, the 'duae glossae' men- tioned in the title-heading of Erf-. Indeed this last MS. unaided presents us with a small portion of the BR-section of the 'second glossary,' as is shewn in Class. Quart, xi 190: "From four glosses (272, 10; 272, 17; 272, 19; 279, 22) type like this: Brumalia [suos bracatos habet. Brumaria: rosina pluvia. Bracata Gallia: Gallia quae incolas Comata Gallia: quae comatos habet. we can reconstruct an arche- Brumalia, the suprascript correction of the miswriting 'Bru- maria,' was followed by the overflow of the gloss Bracata Gallia (misspelt -lea; c£ C. G. L. iv 594, 16). The overflow was not detected by the compiler of the St Gall Glossary (C. G. L. iv 210, 49 Bracata: galeata) and (the archetype of) Leyden 67 E (C. G. L. V 692, 47 Bracata: Galliaque incola situs est). Both try con- jectural 'emendation.'" But in all these reconstructions we must remember that our 'stemma codicum' is not like the 'stemma codicum' of a text of Virgil or Horace. Our glossaries were not full and conscientious transcriptions of the archetype and never pretended to be. They are extract glossaries. Each compiler selects, at his own caprice, i some items of the mass that lies before him and passes over others. So no argument 'ex silentio' is possible. And the items selected are often re-cast at the compiler's caprice. The compiler of Er£2 writes himself down with Dogberry by adding to the item Excidit (scil. animo): oblitus est (292, 52; perhaps a split from the Virgil item 291, 29 Exciderant animo: de animo re^ cesserant) this concoction of his own brain (292, 53) Excidi: '
