From 3ee87098c006d6647e35e7028a49d0320e7b8c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 21:51:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Note user's explanation for the Ezra Introit citation mismatch Vulgate "Esdras" numbering is genuinely ambiguous: 1/2 Esdras is canonical Ezra/Nehemiah, but there's also a separate non-canonical Greek "Esdras A" (the Vulgate appendix's own 3 Esdras, sometimes itself called "1 Esdras" in Septuagint/Orthodox numbering) -- a different text this project has never digitized. The reference engine's own citation never disambiguates, so this can't be confirmed, but it cleanly explains why the Pasc7-2.txt Introit's "Esdr 2:36-37" citation doesn't match our canonical Ezra text. Practical outcome unchanged (ezra stays unseeded), now documented with a clear reason rather than an open mystery.
