The Donne Variorum
First-Line Index to O30
Rawlinson ms., Bodleian Library ms. Rawlinson poet. 31
Compiled December 16, 2004 by Jacob A. Heil
Proofed and corrected January 8, 2005 by J. Syd Conner
In left-to-right order, each item listed below is identified by (a) its Donne Variorum short form (column blank if noncanonical, which applies to most of the items in this manuscript) (b) a siglum-plus-ordinal-position item tag, (c) its location in the artifact (by folio or page nos.), and (d) diplomatic transcriptions of its heading (HE) and first line.
Note: It is unclear whether the scribe meant items 30a-d to be one poem or four: each item has its own heading, but items 30a-c are followed only by a centered whirlwind flourish instead of the scribe's carefully executed, heavy, double horizontal rule with a whirlwind centered under it (used throughout the manuscript to indicate the end of a poem)--which follows 30d.
