Note to Anon Pét 46VII

[1] brautir lífs ‘the paths of life’: From Ps. XV.11 (quoted in Peter’s sermon at Acts II.28) notas mihi fecisti vias vitae ‘Thou hast made known to me the ways of life’ (Pétr2 163/39: kunnar gerðir þu mer lifs gotur ‘you have made known to me the ways of life’; PP 288/9: lifs gꜹtur ‘paths of life’). Before his crucifixion Peter declares (Pétr 109/18): nu ganga fætr minir lifs go᷎tu ‘now my feet walk the path of life’. Cf. Manz 1941, no. 1035: via vitae ‘the way of life’; Heildr 7/6-8: guðs menn, þeirs vel renna ... braut lífs ‘men of God who run well ... the way of life’.
