<hi>I</hi><note>G.1.58:This <I> is one of the capitals which indicate the beginnings of chapters. See the corresponding summary in the Table of Contents
at f.101<hi>v</hi><figure></figure> (the account of the second chapter of the first passus) and see also C. David Benson and Lynne S. Blanchfield, <title>The Manuscripts of <title>Piers Plowman</title>: the B-version</title> (Cambridge: D. S. Brewer, 1997), 133. The large capital is presumably intended to replace the inline smaller capital. For
large and decorated capitals at the beginnings of other chapters see Judith A. Jefferson, "Divisions, Collaborations and other
topics: the table of contents in Cambridge University Library, MS Gg.4.31" in John A. Burrow and Hoyt N. Duggan, eds, <title>Medieval Alliterative Poetry: Essays in Honour of Thorlac Turville-Petre</title> (Dublin:Four Courts Press, 2010), 140-152, esp.141-44, and for evidence suggesting that the majority of such capitals may
have been added by WH, see Jefferson, "Divisions", 148-50. This particular example, however, appears to have been added by
the original scribe at the time of writing; presumably he recognised his error in failing to leave a space for a larger capital.</note>

<note>G.1.150: The letter <S> is formed from a series of linked dots. This and similar marks enable the reader to find sections referred

The form of the letter, however, suggests the possibility that such marks were the work of WH rather than the original scribe;
see the form of the capitals used by WH on ff.69<hi>v</hi>,<figure></figure> 72<hi>v</hi><figure></figure> and 103<hi>r</hi>,<figure></figure> and see further Jefferson, "Divisions," esp. 148-50.</note>
