Thank you very much Chips. My knowledge of Anglo-Saxon scholars is about the same as that of Polish film directors!

Still stuck on this one. I can’t find a word to fit 32a. Just a hint please.
32a Once again digests front page of French section (7)
R?GO?E?

As before there’s either a missing or extra letter in wordplay.
Thank you.

Cloverjo, I've no longer got my copy, but I'm almost certain I didn't have a G in the middle! I had the usual short word meaning 'Once again' before a word meaning 'digests' - and that was something I hadn't known before. I got it from working my way through Chambers, with my alternative to the G + O?ES.

I can't remember the missing/extra letter stuff - sorry.

Thanks for the reply, malone. I got my G from EGOD in 29d.
Rampant Venetian magistrate interrupted by cold old-timers oath.

I thought it was reversal of DOGE with C being the extra letter and EGOD the old oath.

I’ll have another look.
Thank you.

Thanks, Cloverjo… Ecod is also an old oath.

PS I've been wrong before with my 'help'!

You're welcome, Cloverjo. Your G was needed for the message/instruction.
