Note to Anon Heildr 3VII

[4] spektaranda ‘spirit of understanding’: I.e. andi spektar. Cf. Eph. I.17, where the Holy Spirit is described as spiritus sapientiae et revelationis ‘the spirit of wisdom and revelation’. This is a deliberate echo of the characterisation of the Spirit in Isa. XI.2: spiritus sapientiae et intellectus spiritus consilii et fortitudinis spiritus scientiae et pietatis ‘the spirit of wisdom, and of understanding, the spirit of counsel, and of fortitude, the spirit of knowledge, and of godliness’.
