All images scanned from T. S. Eliot The Waste Land: A Facsimile and transcript of the original drafts including the annotations of Ezra Pound, ed. Valerie Eliot
Annotatio An emendation to a law as suggested by a magistrate Must be signed by the Emperor Bypasses the official deliberative processes “If any woman who has lost her husband should hasten to marry another man within the period of a year she shall be branded with the marks of disgrace and deprived of both the dignity and rights of a person of honorable and noble status” (Theodosius, 401-450CE)
Amplificatio – “the intervention and enlarging upon a prior subject” Rubrication – the addition of a title or head onto a manuscript by a scribe
“We all know that we sometimes add a footnote simply to avoid having to retype or restructure the entire text.” -Derrida What is the future of footnoting in the digital age?

Updike: “Throughout the notes, a personal, almost confessional disquietude”
Updike: “The dangers of self-exegesis are: (1) A race of soft readers, spoon-fed on identified allusions, and (2) A race of poets more interested in annotating their works than in writing them” (28-9).
Derrida: “The note does not pose questions; it informs, it makes things known” (198). Does Eliot want us to do everything? Anything? Nothing?
