Annotatio II NATIVITAS: Cuno of Siegburg — accomplice and patron of Rupert’s sentence
Rupert names Cuno, Abbot of Siegburg, accomplice and patron of his sentence.
In the Genesis/Exodus preface Christ stood by him through Cuno alone against those who roared at the work — Cuno a peg in a faithful place for the vessel of his hope.
Latin
CUNONEM etiam Abbatem Sigebergensem, complicem & fautorem sententiae suae nactum, utpote de quo, in praefatione, libris suis, de operibus Trinitatis in Genesin & Exodum, praefixa, inter alia scribit, quòd solus CUNO, imò per Cunonem, (ut ait) Christus praesidio sibi adfuit contra eos, qui molesti fuere huic operi, & qui tùm dictis tùm factis, fremuerunt in ipsum, quasi paxillus sibi Cuno factus sit, positus in loco fideli, in quo spei suae possit vasculum suspendi.
