Notes de l'éditeur
- “Thou lofty tower of Tabara made of stone! There, over thy first roof, Emeterius sat for three months bowed down and racked in every limb by the copying. He finished the book on July 27th in the year 1008 (970, by modern dating) at the eighth hour” –Emeterius (cited in Dodwell, p 247)
