Note 824 — PART III THE MATERIAL UPON WHICH THE HISTORY OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR IS BASED (continued 2)
Reading edition
“Quod ego diligenti cura transscriptum ... in capite hujus libri ponendum putavi.” Transscriptum cannot be understood of mere copying (describere) but of re-editing. The Roman Calendar makes no mention of Old Testament names, Jeremias, Moses, etc., nor of Alban, Servatius, etc. Accordingly this Mart. Rom. Parvum has not the importance which Achelis (p. 112) attributes to it.
