1. SUMMARY
This passage is called the Colbertine passage or "C" because it exists in the Colbertine codex. In addition to cap. 1 et ult., which are extracts from Pseudo-Meliton, this recension is an abridgment of the older narrative.
This Transitus “C” is quite
close to the Transitus “W”, but has enough differences
to ask to be distinguished from it
