Trying to find a sense of the marginalia within the limits of the word "lucent" or "lucet" I decided to pay my attention to the word "mallier" in the context of the German word "mal" which was repeatedly suggested. I just think that, maybe, a spot, a stain or a sign is somehow relates to the light (to be lighten or visible).
I see one problem here - if "lucz" really means "lucent", not "lucet", and we assume that it exactly relates to "mallier aller", the latter word combination must be plural in nominative.
If I understand correctly, Mäler is an alternative form of the Mal, Male (plural). And, of course, Maler - artist(s) , painter(s), although I doubt that "pictores lucent" (artists shine /are visible) is a sensible and possible combination. So, I can guess that "mallier" is, possibly, an alternative spelling but, anyway, "aller" confuses me. Did the plural form for nominative "aller" ever existed instead of "allen", at least, in rare cases? Could it be Komparativ "aller"?
