Note to Ník Kristdr 1III

[1] ber ‘the grape’: The commentary in TGT elaborates further on the similarities between Christ and a grape (TGT 1927, 88-9): en svá sem vínberit gefr hinn hæsta drykk til viðrlífis mǫnnum, svá gefr guðs son andligt líf ǫllum réttrúǫndum mǫnnum í úthellingu síns blóðs, þess er hversdagliga snýz af víni ok vatni at hverri rétt sunginni messu ‘and just as the grape provides the most noble drink for the sustenance of people, so does the son of God give spiritual life to all people of the right faith through the pouring out of his blood, which each day is transformed from wine and water at every mass that is sung correctly’.
