Endnote 34
Part II, §2-3. Between sections 2 and 3, a section
is inserted in the late copies, which merely repeats section 1, and is
clearly spurious. It does not appear at all in the best MSS.; though
it is found in the black-letter editions. I quote it here from MS.
L.
`To knowe the degre of thyn sonne in thyn zodiak by the days
in the baksyde off the Astrolabye.
`[T]hanne iff þou wylte were thatt / rekyn & knowe / qwych
is the day off the monyth thatt thow arte ynne, & ley thy rewle
of thy astrolabye, that is to sey, the allydatha, vpon þe day in
the kalendre off the Astrolabye, & he schall schewe the thy
degree of the sonne.'
