Nota critico-testuale a Niceta di Remesiana

In lines 9, 5-6 Turner [=9, 9-10 Burn]) of Nicetas of Remesiana’s De uigiliis seruorum Dei the Author suggests reading, in accordance with the majority of relevant manuscripts and with the passage as a whole, ne cruditatem ructantes et crapulam, against the text established by the pamphlet’s most recent editor on the sole basis of codex R (nec foeditate ructantes et crapula). The re-use in the passage of a locus of Cyprian (laps. 30 [ed. M. Bévenot, CCSL 3, 237-238]) supports the restitutio textus and is a significant example of the imitational method employed by Nicetas.
