ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

'Although the venerable merits of all the saints, most beloved brethren, are for our zeal, yet especially with all our affection is to be venerated the nativity of the glorious and ever-virgin Mother of God, Mary,' etc. It ends: 'You have as helper of your contest this blessed and most glorious Virgin and Mother, under whose protection you may take refuge,' etc. The feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary did not begin to be celebrated in the Church until the eighth century; and it has nothing of the Maximian vein, but the author patched it together with childish and insipid sentences. I do not wonder at the ignorance of the copyist, who in the Paris codex 3820 inscribed it to the most eloquent holy prelate of Turin.
