[DCRM-L] Puzzled by LC note re Hain 1522 / Pellechet 1084

[Noble, Richard]

Many thanks to John, and for the correction--by that time of day on a
Friday it might better be called Fried-Day.

I've heard from the cataloger in question--collaboration is in progress. As
to "spes", I'll look again, but I checked the text in a modern edition, and
the word *is* "speciem". Perhaps a typo? Foul case error? - Richard
