"There appear to be at least three separable editions by Jehannot (sometimes attributed to Le Dru) for Jaumar. In the explicit, f.24, they are distinguished as follows: lachri//marum: Finit feliciter. (Pell 11092e-f); lacri//marum: Finit feliciter. (Pell 11086, 11091, 11092b-d, 11092g); lachrima-//rum. Finit feliciter. (Pell 11086b) ... The Rosenwald copy apparently also varies in the crucifixion cut on the title."--ISTC. Some varient editions also have "lachrymarum" on t.p. Cf. Fairfax Murray, Rosenwald.
