tions, it appears that practically each individual Vulgata MS shares at least a few innovations with every other Vulgata MS. Some have furthermore a few readings in common with some of the MSS of the other recensions. Because of this it is doubtful if, for instance, those retentions in v (and B) which separate it from the other Vulgata MSS have been regularly transmitted or have been entered into one of the sources of y after comparison with some other MS. Fortunately these uncertainties only seem to affect the mutual relation of the individual Vulgata MSS and not the position in the stemma of the Vulgata as a whole.
