Excerpt from The Philobiblon of Richard De Bury, Vol. 3: Edited From the Best Manuscripts and Translated Into English With an Introduction and Notes; Introductory Matter and Notes A word about the Latin text is in place here. What is printed is the consensus of four manuscripts, marked A, B, C, and D, with every variant of importance noted in the margin, and with side light from other manuscripts when desirable. As I have shown that the true text lies in manuscripts of the English tradition, and that the received printed text comes from corrupt German Oopies, I have discarded the latter almost entirely. I can see no reason for printing a mass of demonstrably worthless readings from corrupt later manu scripts and equally bad printed texts, when the readings of the best manuscripts are at hand. It stereotypes error and breeds confusion. The text of this edition contains, I believe, a fair copy of what Richard de Bury wrote. Of its nineteen thousand words very few are in serious doubt. The true text is a matter of plain demonstration, and its manuscript sources are ample and in close harmony. The corrupt text may also be traced with certainty to its later vitiated source.
