T10. The opposed written/said, present/past reporting and two Latin forms remain. Fatum/fata are retained as discussed words rather than replaced by an English phrase that loses their form; fatum can be glossed decree or fate, and fata its plural, decrees or fates. This is a fresh explanatory gloss, not a separately authenticated Leibnitz quotation or etymological claim. The canonical source retains baseline mzol with a qualified final l -like stroke; no title, numeral or external Leibnitz passage is identified. Only Fatum, fata. is italic, including its comma and terminal period; the parenthetic reference is roman. English places the two reporting commas inside the closing quotation marks; the French places them outside. Said neutrally renders the reporting imperfect disoient without adding a habitual claim.
T108. The opposed écrit/dit and disent/disoient , two closed quotations and complete expri-/ment wrap remain. The partly abraded a of anciens and m of ment retain identifiable color contours; the native witness alone is less complete at these starts. The baseline opaque reference mzol is retained without expansion or normalization. The original-size color and native views support m-z-o followed by a tall l -like stroke; no title or numeral is inferred. Only Fatum, fata. is italic, through both punctuation marks; the reference is roman.
T11. The body place cue, when, diligent fulfillment and glad remaining stay distinct. The final to be supplies the ordinary English completion of où Dieu l’a voulu without inventing a further vocation. The October day is wholly unresolved and is not reconstructed. Literal tasche and the qualified circumflex in assidûment remain in French. English omits the source comma after heureux as ordinary syntactic punctuation; the full parenthetic place cue remains in the body.
T109. The date retains an incomplete loop and lower curved remnant, compatible with 8 but insufficient to certify the missing left contour or a complete numeral. No day is supplied. The place cue remains inside the body. In the French source, literal tasche , qualified circumflex in assidûment , comma after heureux , both relatives and final où Dieu l’a voulu remain. Complete la/place starts are abraded but identifiable in the color witness; no extra word is inferred.
T12. The balanced clauses, possessive and elevation/gravity movement remain. Applications retains the practical counterpart to generalities without specifying a field.
T110. The balanced two-clause sentence, semicolon and singular possessive remain. The circumflex in plaît has a compressed but identifiable raised contour; the partly abraded les start remains readable in color.
T13. All three government definitions, peoples/household/self and final and remain. Economics renders œconomique in the explicitly household sense, not an inserted modern national discipline.
T14. Note freshly translates Nota , while the Latin quotation is freshly translated without borrowing an English Horace. Sequence/joining and things remain distinct. The parallel at Horace, Ars Poetica 242 reads tantum series iuncturaque pollet . Joubert’s quotation adds rerum and has et junctura in place of iuncturaque ; its wording is retained and translated rather than normalized. The bounded Latin passage 234–250 was directly read by the literary specialist and senior editor in an electronic text, without an English translation or early printed edition. English quotation marks distinguish the translated formula from the surrounding possessive, an editorial punctuation choice. Only Note corresponds to italic Nota ; its following colon remains roman. The translated Latin words are italic, while Horace’s, the supplied quotation marks and the English terminal period remain roman. That period is placed inside the supplied closing quotation in English, rather than after the attribution as in the French source.
T112. In the French source, only Nota and Tantum series rerum et junctura pollet are italic. The intervening colon/article and final attribution/period are roman. The Latin is retained literally, including rerum and et junctura , without normalization to an external Horace text.
T15. The two nominal fragments and emphatic ourselves remain. Intrinsic rate provisionally retains taux ’s valuation metaphor; spirit is repeated rather than alternating with mind. The force of tant is preserved without supplying an argument.
T113. The 10 is complete, unlike the damaged earlier September prefix. Two nominal sentences, repeated esprit , plural-mêmes mark and final exclamation remain; no argument is added to the compressed Tant clause.
T16. The restrictive only, full parenthesis, even and two physical qualities remain. Has come to know renders the perfect acquaintance with heaven without adding a named science.
T114. The complete 12, full parenthesis, even, two possessives, restrictive ne…que and perfect a connu remain. The lors-/qu’on wrap is complete in color; no missing connector is introduced.
T17. The opening ellipsis, conjunction and comparative still more remain. No missing antecedent or main predicate is supplied.
T115. The three initial points are printed ellipsis, not a current reproduction gap. The conjunction, comparative and encore remain inside the fragment; no absent main predicate is supplied.
T18. The alternating injunctions and nominal negatives remain, with the circle image, too, even, command/master relation and three final exclamations. Timeliness contextually renders the printed l’à propos , with a space rather than a hyphen, as fitness to the occasion, not merely punctuality. French soi même is also printed without a hyphen. The repeated que in et même, que is carried by the shared English let construction, without a new source loss. The whole sequence remains one paragraph under the complete October 13 date.
