_MS. Note in a Copy of Liber Sententiarum_ (Vol. iv., pp. 188.
282.).--For the information of W. S. W. I beg to notify that the
"mundane era" quoted by him is the Septuagint era of Venerable Bede,
who, in his chronology of the world, uses two eras; one of which he
calls "juxta Hebraicam veritatem," the other, "juxta septuaginta
interpretes."
He makes the concurrence of these with A.D. 1, at the birth of Christ,
to be respectively as follows:--
A.M. 3952. A.M. Sep. 5300. A.D. 1.
The two latter, as W. S. W. will perceive, are exactly in the same
relation as those in the MS. note.
I should also suggest that "S" may be the initial in the writer's name,
and not "T": in which case "[q=]. T." probably signifies "quam tribuit."
