Notes
- 1 ↩ejus is left as 'him' (not 'her'/'it'); referent is not fixed in this section alone and may be Christ, a saint, or another commemorated person depending on the surrounding office.
- 2 ↩Source reads 'szcula'; treated as a corrupt/OCR form of 'saecula' (ages), yielding the liturgical formula 'et in saecula' = 'and forever,' continuing the prior 'et nunc'.
- 3 ↩Fragment appears corrupt or non-sentential; possibly a damaged rubric or citation label (e.g. Apoc.). Left as source surface pending review.
- 4 ↩Standalone 'v.' is treated as a liturgical apparatus marker (versicle/verse), not as continuous prose.
- 5 ↩In this doxological Revelation list, virtutem and fortitudinem are rendered as power and strength (not moral virtue), matching the biblical sense.
- 6 ↩Source 'szcula szculorum' is read as 'saecula saeculorum' (forever and ever), consistent with the neighboring OCR pattern and the expected doxology.
- 7 ↩Orphan opening parenthesis in the source is treated as apparatus/punctuation debris and not rendered as meaning.
- 8 ↩gratiarum actio rendered as thanksgiving; virtus/fortitudo as power/strength in this doxological list. claritas rendered as glory.
- 9 ↩Source unit is only an opening parenthesis; no continuous Latin clause is present in this printed section.
