We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because through your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world. |
[1] iugo] iugi D-Mbs 3154, C
[2] crucis] cruci D-Mbs 3154, C
[i] sitiens] siciens D-Mbs 3154, C
This edition is based on D-Mbs 3154, ff. 46v–47r. The first line needed to be corrected in two places: the original ‘iugi’ (‘of the yoke’) was corrected to ‘iugo’ (‘to the yoke’) and ‘cruci’ (‘to the cross’) was corrected to ‘crucis’ (‘of the cross’). These corrections were made to recuperate the original sense of the sentence, which states that Jesus was nailed to the yoke of the cross. For further comments see the General commentary.
