Collations of English MSS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 October 2010
Summary
As in my former volume, I have printed in full Mr Swainson's collation of the Burney MS (B), but have only given selected readings from his other collations, with occasional additions from my own inspection of the Museum MSS. I have also given the more important readings for O U and υ collated by myself, and a full collation of the Merton MS (called ‘Oxf. o’ in the former volume, here simply. ‘Oxf.’). I have further compared any readings of Orelli's or Heindorf's MSS which, without being of sufficient importance to print under the text, were yet of interest as throwing light on the relation between different MSS, e.g. between B and Orelli's C, between Cod. Glog. (G) and H, Cod. Red. and N, above all between Oxf. and Orelli's V. In all such cases I have printed the reference to the foreign MS in square brackets. For the sake of convenience I subjoin an explanation of symbols.
