Note 47 — Chapter III · Miracles Performed Voluntarily by the Virgin

This is very similar to the account in the Primera Crónica General, p. 252 column b, line 42. (Hereafter such references will be indicated in the usual manner thus: Prim. Crón. Gral., p. 252 b 42.) Here, however, the scene is in Africa and, after losing his tongue, the bishop could sing and preach louder and more clearly than ever before. The heretics who ridiculed him were, in this instance, the ones who lost the power of speech.
