In a good many instances passages of from two to six lines are omitted in the text and inserted in the margin, either across or at the bottom of the page, in a hand which seems not to be that of the text, though very similar, and is probably identical with S (1). This occurs on ff. 41, 74, 76, 78, &c. The text of H is very correct, and in forms of spelling, &c. it closely resembles that of S. There is little punctuation at first, but more afterwards. In form of text it agrees nearly with C, but (1) the marginal note at iv. 587 is omitted, (2) as regards revision H parts company with C at vi. 1219, from which point H has the unrevised text in agreement with EDTH₂ except in the concluding lines of the _Vox Clamantis_ on f. 134, which, as already remarked, are rewritten in a new hand. The hands of H may be thus distinguished: (1) Text of the _Vox Clamantis_, a good and regular fourteenth-century hand. (2) Passages added in the margin, probably the same as S (1). (3) Rewritten text of i. 1019 ff., vi. 545-580, vi. cap. xviii and heading of xix, last lines of _Vox Clamantis_, text of _Cronica Tripertita_ and succeeding pieces to the end of ‘O deus immense’ f. 159 v^o. This is the same as S (2), G (2), C (3). (4) Rewritten text of iii. 1 ff., corrections of iv. 1212, 1214, and rewritten text of 1221*-1232*; also f. 160, ‘Nota hic in fine’ &c. to end of f. 161 r^o. This is the same as C (4). (5) Correction of the heading of iii. cap. iv, the same as S (3). (6) Marginal note at iii. 375, the same as S (4), G (4), C (6). (7) Corrections of vi. 1208, 1210, and of _Cronica Tripertita_ i. 55 f. and some other places: the same as C (7). (8) Rewritten passages at the beginning and near the end of the _Cronica Tripertita_, the same as C (12). (9) Second copy of the last poems (on f. 164), the same hand as C (11).
