T1. The Latin Imbecille judicium is freshly translated in its weakness sense, without adding a modern diagnostic label. The nominal opening and not-rare qualification remain. Only Weak judgment. is italic, including its period; the following sentence is roman. It remains one paragraph, distinct from the next paragraph under the same complete, qualified January 12 date.
T10. The original-size color shows the complete 12, with soft upper contours but identifiable separate numeral structures; the first native crop clips the tops, so it is not claimed as independent complete-date certification. Both paragraphs remain separate. In the French source, each initial Latin phrase, including its period, is italic; the following French is roman. Imbecille and præceps remain literal. The terminal French period follows Fontenelle, not the quoted montre phrase.
T2. The Latin Judicium præceps is freshly translated; headlong retains precipitancy rather than merely speed. The quoted watch image remains the source’s attribution without external authentication. English places the terminal period inside the closing quotation. Only Headlong judgment. is italic through its period. English moves the Fontenelle attribution before the quotation, so the French period after Fontenelle becomes the English period inside the now-terminal quotation. No new quoted wording is introduced.
T3. The Latin Anima abhorret ab infinito is freshly translated with its aversion and abstract infinite. The following de Stahl remains an attribution fragment, not a clause identifying an object of recoil. No external Stahl source is supplied. The Latin counterpart The soul recoils from the infinite, is italic through its comma; from Stahl. is roman. French retains plain Anima . January 22 is complete.
T11. The complete 22 is retained. In the French source, the first Latin phrase is italic through its comma, while de Stahl. is roman. The upper field of Anima does not certify an added accent; the plain form remains. In the French second paragraph only nota is italic: initial Et , quotation and subsequent prose are roman. The quotation includes its period; the French comma after même and printed three-point ending are retained. The unfinished final phrase is not supplemented.
T4. Note freshly translates the italic nota ; opening And, reported definition, completed life/future life, always and incomplete existence fragment remain. The unusual soul alive wording preserves the definition without smoothing it into merely a living being. Only note is italic; initial And and all remaining text are roman. The quoted period is already inside the source closing mark. English omits the comma after même ; the printed final ellipsis remains unfinished rather than marking a reproduction loss.
T5. The opening infinitive, less, even-if concession, new/young pair, necessity and be/appear distinction remain. Their age renders vétusté without assuming that Joubert means useless obsolescence. Cursive preserves the running-style term provisionally. Nomes retains the uncommon printed term. The complete 1798 Académie entry records law and ancient poetic/musical senses, including a prescribed cadence; a resonance between law and ordered song is possible here but remains interpretive. The word is not silently changed to normes . The separate 1798 Académie Cursive entry concerns running diplomatic handwriting; it does not by itself establish the figurative style sense here. Canonical French retains plain Oter and nomes , first lois and later loix , and qualified paroître with its circumflex. The complete January 26 date and one roman paragraph remain; no lexical reproduction loss is asserted.
T12. Original-size color and native 448 support plain Oter : a detached thin trace above the capital does not establish a circumflex. The literal word nomes has a plain o ; no r is inserted and no accent is supplied. The final paroître has a recognizable circumflex, with the reproduction contours retained as qualified. The first lois differs from the later loix . The whole long paragraph, complete line wraps, repeated par phrases and both être/paroître predicates remain roman and unbroken. No lexical reproduction loss is identified.
T6. The two needs and imperative give remain without an invented object. Good deed versus beautiful work distinguishes bonne œuvre from bel ouvrage ; English cannot preserve their similar French forms without a note. No charitable scenario beyond the source is added. The quotation’s period is already inside the source closing mark and remains there. The complete March 6 date and roman paragraph are retained.
T7. The two nominal topics, capital Of and repeated anger remain. The printed February month-only date follows March 6; no day or chronological correction is supplied. The detached marginal trace supplies no numeral. Both fragments are roman.
T14. This month-only date is printed after March 6; no day is inferred and source order is retained. The small detached trace to the left does not establish a missing numeral. Both nominal fragments, repeated colère and the second capital De remain roman.
S2. Source editor’s annotation This is the last date in Joubert’s notebooks. The notebook’s other pages have remained blank. — After this last notebook were bound, first, a small booklet entitled “Chinese Classics” and which contains four pages of quotations: “volume II. The Sage...”; etc. Simple extracts, with page references; mention of Kon-fut-zée, etc.; second, a small booklet entitled “Pythagoras,” containing 59 very short sayings and a “Supplement” of 15 sayings. There is no indication of the date of these booklets, which, moreover, contain only extracts. The “Pythagoras” booklet is from February 1814.
T8. Note freshly translates italic Nota . All four nominal qualities, the equals sign, distinct dashes and final open dash remain. The sequence is not expanded into a finished philosophical equation or supplied with final punctuation. Only Note. is italic through its period; all four qualities, the equals sign and dashes remain roman. The March 22 date owns the raised source-editor call after mars and before its separate baseline period; the call does not attach to the philosophical sequence. The separate undated appendix follows this last notebook unit.
T9. All source-editor statements, four pages, 59 and 15 sayings, blank leaves and the two bound booklets remain separate from Joubert’s text. The general no-date statement and subsequent February 1814 date are both retained without silently reconciling their apparent tension. Kon-fut-zée follows the literal canonical spelling. Booklet titles are translated freshly; no unavailable extracts or new main entries are reconstructed. And which contains explicitly preserves et qui contient after the first title; the different comma-plus-relative after Pythagore is rendered by the separate containing phrase. English moves that second title’s following comma inside its closing quotation; the semicolon after The Sage... stays outside the closing quotation, as in French. The Roman II and all counts remain reference data within this one roman annotation. Its call belongs to the final March 22 date after mars and before the period, not to the following main sequence; February 1814 does not replace or supply a notebook entry date.
T15. The complete 22 has raised call 2 after mars and before its separate baseline period. In the French source, only Nota. is italic, including its period; all four nominal qualities, the equals sign and dashes are roman. The final dash is not replaced with a sentence period. This is the last main notebook unit before the separate source-editor introduction on page 917. The notebook’s end is not used to suppress the subsequent undated appendix.
T16. One complete roman apparatus paragraph is called from the final March 22 date. The complete color crop supplies all line endings; the supporting native crop clips the top and far right and is not claimed to show those edges. The four pages, Roman II, 59 and 15 sentences, Kon-fut-zée and February 1814 remain literal. The general no-date statement and the following specific February 1814 statement are both retained, without reconciliation or inferred main-entry dating. All three booklet titles, the nested Sage quotation and the printed ellipses stay within the annotation. The first title is followed by et qui contient , the second by comma plus qui contient . No excerpt text is reconstructed or added as new notebook entries.
