T162. Both bounded quotations and superlatives remain, with the difficulty and obligation. Decent gives the moral sense of honnête without changing truest into most certain. English places the comma and final period inside their closing quotation marks under American style; the French outside punctuation remains unchanged.
T163. The three infinitives, knot image, incomplete parenthetical for and patient mind remain. The inline bracket is Beaunier’s source-editor report of the change from first to third person, not a translator note or a new entry. The reported replacement remains unfinished; the omitted predicate is not filled in. The bracketed source-editor report remains roman within the paired paragraph, with no extra terminal period after its closing bracket.
T164. The universal recipients, particular sphere, very limited scope and explanatory parenthesis remain. It refers to the sphere. Fools preserves the judgment without supplying a clinical diagnosis. English omits the source’s two enclosing commas around and very circumscribed while retaining that qualification in full.
T165. The necessity, old endings and indefinite something remain. The Latin forms are mentioned as forms, so both remain in English with matching italics rather than being replaced by purported full-word translations. The exact printed untor and unto are retained; neither is expanded into a complete Latin word or corrected to a more familiar ending. Only these two forms are italic, with the intervening and roman.
T166. The infinitive and both final predicates remain. Delirium and collapse retain the source’s broad descriptions without assigning a modern diagnosis or particular event.
T167. The nominal fragment, weather and parenthetic recollection remain. June 1790 belongs to the recalled circumstance, not to the separate wholly damaged May day or enclosing 1814 year. The printed St-Louis abbreviation and hyphen remain. [Marais] is a contextual place-name interpretation of […]rais , with the full English name bracketed; the missing French beginning is not restored. No event is invented.
T474. The day before mai has only isolated vertical traces; no numeral is certified. The complete June 1790 date is an embedded recollection inside the body parenthesis, not the entry date or enclosing year. St-Louis keeps its abbreviation and hyphen. At the next-line place name, only rais is secure: the preceding a -like remnant lacks its left bowl, and no M or whole a is certified. The closing parenthesis and period remain.
T168. The uncompleted initial condition, three nominal consequences and two world/faculty relations remain. The repeated everything and rule are retained. The feminine pronoun refers to the soul; from there contextually refers to its intelligible region. The first [the] provisionally interprets le at a suspected slot whose presence and extent are uncertain. [Corporeal], [everything], the later [the] and [change] contextually render corporel , tout , la and changent from cor[…]rel , […]ut , a whole lost article and chan[…]nt . Full English words are bracketed without restored French letters. The other three everything occurrences and the final intact the remain outside brackets.
T475. The initial Si clause remains suspended before the printed ellipsis. Both repeated ne forms and the restricted judgment/vision relation remain. Before monde , the displaced word and preceding vertical remnants support a suspected missing slot whose presence and extent remain uncertain; no le is recovered. At the wrapped corporel , the next-line o retains only its right-side contour and the preceding p is not complete, so only cor and rel are certified. The later damaged opening retains ut , not an inferred tout . A loss precedes règle without supplying la . At the final wrap, chan has a visible n arch, while the following e is incomplete and no g is certified; chan[…]nt preserves only the established limits. The three nominal errors, two world/body-soul phrases, remaining three tout repetitions and three weather subjects are unchanged. The independent full-page and nine native-crop comparison agrees with the recorded 785 margin losses, dates, upper marks and lower identifiable openings. All stated qualifications remain; no completion beyond the bounded native evidence is certified.
T169. The universal, born/grows contrast, even, first/other and the paired obligations remain. Of itself preserves the other part’s unaided subsistence, without adding a developmental theory. [A] and the two [the] words contextually render une , la and l’ from […]ne and the losses before première and autre ; the French letters and apostrophe are not restored. English separates the last clauses with a semicolon where French retains a comma.
T476. The day has no certifiable numeral. The raised marks in naît and croît are compressed; the circumflex readings are qualified approximations, not claims of clearly resolved separate arms. At the second part only ne survives; before première and autre the remnants do not certify complete articles or an apostrophe. The three losses remain explicit. The current birth/growth contrast, même , both infinitives, soigneusement , en soi and y remain. In the French source, the comma between the final two clauses is retained, and d’elle même remains spaced.
T170. The past and degree/consequence relation remain. Inhabited preserves the spatial metaphor; neither world is renamed. [Neglected] interprets the historical négligeoit from négli[…]eoit ; the complete English word is bracketed without restoring the French g .
T171. The butterfly, lightness and outlining images remain, with both alternatives and repeated mind. Colors is plural and American spelling. No particular person or painting is supplied. [Mind], [brilliant] and [made] contextually render esprit , brillant and fait from es[…]rit , […]rillant and […]ait . Well remains outside the bracket as the counterpart of intact bien ; the later source esprit and its English mind remain intact. The damaged day ending in 1 is not completed.
T478. Only the final 1 has enough upper/stem/foot structure for a qualified digit; the preceding day is not supplied. In the wrapped esprit only es and rit are complete; the partial p bowl lacks its stem. The first b of brillant and f of fait are not complete. The r of rillant is abraded but retains identifiable stem/shoulder structure and is qualified. The butterfly/color comparison, repeated mind, lightness and three subjunctive clauses remain. The two ou alternatives, enfin and beau/bien distinction are not collapsed.
T172. The nominal opening, conditional need and apparent tension between care and mastery remain. Take care of gives a broad contextual reading of ménageât , without turning it into an unconditional guarantee or identifying a ruler. [Its] renders contextual en from […]n through the English possessive; no lost French e is recovered.
T479. The final 2 is clear, but its preceding disconnected upper/lower blocks do not certify another digit. The conditional requirement, both relative qui clauses and possessive nôtre remain. Before n the e retains only separated right-side fragments, so no whole e is certified.
T173. Both bounded repeated quotations, apparent/real contrast, desire before arrival and labyrinth remain. Compare Boileau, L’Art poétique , II, 72, in the discussion of the ode. Joubert repeats only the short phrase; his surrounding explanation and labyrinth image are not verified as part of that quotation. This comparison uses a bounded electronic primary-text reading, not a collation of Joubert’s copy. [Order] and [it] contextually render ordre and the pronominal l’ from […]rdre and […]’avoir ; the intact apostrophe is retained in French. Neither the Boileau parallel nor the English restores the missing letters.
T480. The two quoted forms keep their different initial cases and the attribution stays parenthetic in the body. Before rdre the o has only its right semicircle; no whole o is recovered. Before avoir the apostrophe is identifiable, but the preceding l has only incomplete upper/lower fragments; the explicit loss remains before the apostrophe. The apparent/real opposition, passive conduit , after relation and subsequent arrival through the labyrinth remain. No full omitted phrase or external quotation is substituted.
