Reply To: what is this P SEP box ?

I think that this is a Unicode paragraph separator (U+2029; HTML 
). What is odd, though, is that as far as I know Times New Roman does not have a glyph to display this text formatting character. At the least the two versions of TNR that I checked do not. You are welcome to send a snippet with the passage to me at crych at telus dot net. It’s an interesting problem though, without knowing the proximate and ultimate sources of the text, it is hard to figure out where this error was introduced.

The other thing I note is that the following verse should be ’34 Et Jacob donna …’, not ’33 Et Jacob donna …’. Were the numbers of the verses inserted as xref, or code of some sort. Was the text imported from HTML where the numbers of the verses were links?
