Note 48 — Chapter IX · PREACHING
Reading edition
MS latin 2622, ff. 12-18 (Incipit omelia Beati Anselmi super Johannem de planctu Magdalene), as printed in Bourgain, 373-883. Bourgain’s comment, 225-227, does not clearly distinguish between such passages and the rimed prose of most of this Planctus.
For a discreet use of rimed prose, deliberate but relieved from insistence, compare the passage from Alain de Lille quoted in Bourgain 88: “Fenum et stipule sunt”, etc.
