The Manly Hall Manuscript Collection, Volume I

H001-S196 83v

inconnu: the beginning incon- is visible; final letters disappear into the gutter. The contextual reading remains qualified.

H001-S198 84v

entonnent is the visible reading before et expriment; its vocal sense is rendered ‘proclaim.’ The noun appears to be ruelle, independently checked from an enlarged crop, but remains qualified. Contextual conjecture moelle is not adopted.

H001-S199 85r

volitive is the visible adjective after aiguë; translated as ‘volitive,’ preserving its distinction from volatile used earlier.

H001-S210 89v

mucabals: qualified transcription of an unusual term; see enlarged crop the corresponding source detail. It is not normalized to a presumed technical name.

H001-S216 92v

The second quotation includes a parenthesized repeated que in French; English omits the duplicated conjunction.

H001-S218 93v

The phrase 'dans le trait de la mort que les hommes présentaient' is retained despite its unusual construction. The manuscript has an intentional ruled blank after 'ou', represented by a dash, not an illegible word.

H001-S219 94r

Décerné is the source's verb and is retained in French; English gives 'decreed'.

H001-S220 94v

The phrase 'renverser son arbitre' is provisional; the final noun's letters are difficult and may support another reading. See the original photograph for scan 220. English 'overturn its judgment' follows this tentative reading.

H001-S221 95r

The title-word reads Monas; capitalization and punctuation of the ensuing descriptive words are editorially restrained rather than treated as evidence for a securely identified published title.

H001-S225 96r

The name appears as Saint Pierre; it is retained even though the ensuing imagery parallels Revelation. The opening construction is incomplete and syntactically awkward across scans 222 and 225; its wording is preserved rather than supplying a missing negation or adjective.

H001-S226 96v

The final adjective unie is visibly retraced; see the original photograph for scan 226. The sentence continues on scan 227. The source says 'avènement ou la miséricorde'; the alternatives are retained without substituting a conjectured noun.

H001-S229 98r

The Greek sequence is provisionally transcribed ανδρος γηνος without added accents, and transliterated andros gēnos. The second word may represent a defective spelling of the intended word for woman. See the original photograph for scan 229.

H001-S230 98v

The Greek-looking word is provisionally transcribed υπομαχια and transliterated hypomachia; the expected term for mounted combat may differ. See the original photograph for scan 230. The accompanying facsimile preserves this uncertain sequence.

H001-S232 99v

The verb appears to read quitter; its awkward role in the objection is retained rather than replaced with a conjectured étudier. The construction 'une foi, qui fasse fermement établir' is irregular; English organizes the following verbs as the actions the author attributes to faith.

H001-S234 100v

The Greek sequence is provisionally transcribed αποτηςπεγης and transliterated apo tēs pēgēs. Its apparent intended phrase concerns a spring, but its individual letters are not securely written. See the original photograph for scan 234. The source explicitly distinguishes the horses from the mercurial spirits they represent.

H001-S236 101v

The underlined term is provisionally read acgor; the middle letters are difficult. See the original photograph for scan 236.

H001-S236b 101v

Amalcation is the manuscript's apparent spelling; English uses amalgamation, recording the intervention here.

H001-S237 102r

The adjective following nature appears doutente, an irregular form rendered 'doubtful'; it may admit a different reading. 'Séparer les natures des natures même' is retained, including its apparent repetition; see the original photograph for scan 237.

H001-S238 102v

The opening noun is provisionally read rois; its first letter is not entirely secure. See the original photograph for scan 238 and the preceding the original photograph for scan 237.

H001-S239 103r

The first period has loose and repeated relative clauses; English separates the account of accidental qualities from the account of metallic generation without omitting either.

H001-S240 103v

The word is provisionally read analipticité; see the original photograph for scan 240. Its meaning has not been replaced with a conjectural technical synonym. The final article la is parenthesized in the source; English incorporates it into the continuing construction.

H001-S241 104r

The second paragraph lacks a clear verb in the phrase beginning 'où aux seuls sages'; English makes its apparent relation explicit, while the French defect remains visible.

H001-S242 104v

The term is provisionally transcribed mécubales; see the original photograph for scan 242. It is retained as mecubales in English rather than silently replaced with Kabbalists. The sentence 'ne peuvent être rapportés à aucune chose, sans une mauvaise explication' appears to deny any referent without a bad explanation; its apparent missing qualification has not been supplied.

H001-S245 106r

The proper name is written Bugiris; it is retained rather than silently replaced with the familiar Busiris. See the original photograph for scan 245. The phrase 'première tache originelle' is verified in the original photograph for scan 245; English preserves the overlapping first/original qualifiers.
