The text of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," in all its various versions, is a metrical paraphrase of the O Antiphons, so the intricate theological allusions of the hymn are essentially the same as for the antiphons. One notable difference is that the antiphon "O Radix Jesse" ("root" of Jesse) is generally rendered in meter as "Veni, O Iesse virgula" ("shoot" of Jesse). Both refer to the writings of the prophet Isaiah ( and , respectively), but the hymn's "virgula" precludes the formation of the acrostic "ero cras" from the antiphons.

The rod is labelled "Virgula Divina – Glück-Rüt" (Latin: Rod Divine; German: Luck-Rod), but there is no text accompanying the woodcut. By 1556, Georgius Agricola's treatment of mining and smelting of ore, De Re Metallica, included a detailed description of dowsing for metal ore.William Barrett and Theodore Besterman.

This common predatory bug hunts for small insects, as aphids and red mites.Garden Safari Adults flight time is from July to October during which they could be found on numerous deciduous trees, on hazel, hawthorn and oak. The adults overwinter and nymphs appear in May. The peculiarity of this bug is that in almost all of its range males are extremely rare, as C. virgula reproduces without mating (parthenogenesis).

By 1638 German miners were recorded using the technique in silver mines in Wales. The Middle Low German name for a forked stick (Y-rod) was schlag-ruthe (striking rod). This was translated in the 16th century Cornish dialect to duschen (duschan according to ) (Middle English, to strike or fall ). In 1691 the philosopher John Locke, who was born in the West Country, used the term deusing-rod for the old Latin name virgula divina.

Languages such as Romanian add a comma (virgula) to some letters, such as ', which looks like a cedilla, but is more precisely a diacritical comma. This is particularly confusing with letters which can take either diacritic: for example, the consonant is written as "ş" in Turkish but "ș" in Romanian, and Romanian writers will sometimes use the former instead of the latter because of insufficient font or character-set support. The Polish letters and and Lithuanian letters and are not made with the cedilla either, but with the unrelated ogonek diacritic.

Long vowels such as á were sometimes (but not always) written double as aa. Other features of the day included spelling j as g and v as w, as the early modern Latin alphabet had not by then distinguished j from i or v from u. ;Diacritic orthography : Introduced probably by Jan Hus. Using diacritics for long vowels ("virgula", an acute, "čárka" in Czech) and "soft" consonants ("punctus rotundus", a dot above a letter, which has survived in Polish ż) was suggested for the first time in "De orthographia Bohemica" around 1406.

This strongly disturbed depositional environment with a coexistence of open marine facies and muds deposited under reducing conditions in a restrictive setting seems to coincide with a first sedimentary individualisation of the Pyrenean realm. The event has received its name Virgulian from the oyster Exogyra virgula. During the Tithonian, the shrinkage of the basin became even more evident, only to end in a nearly complete withdrawal of the sea from the Aquitaine Plateau before the close of the Tithonian (the south is not affected by this). During the Tithonian, iron-bearing calcareous oolites interbedded with marls, as well as dolomite and border facies deposits develop—dated by Gravesia portlandicum.

In 2020, Pittsburgh Festival Opera premieres Virgula Divina by Karen Brown and Jessica Lanay. Aside from forays in the traditional repertory, PFO has sought to present a number of modern masterpieces which are not regularly included on standard programs: Lost in the Stars, The Emperor of Atlantis, Bluebeard's Castle, Brundibar, Der Jasager, and the English language premiere of Weill's Die Bürgschaft. Past productions also include a "Salon Series" devoted to shorter works performed in unusual spaces, such as Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, performed in a church converted into an art gallery; Bizet's Djamileh, presented in a Persian Carpet Emporium; Thomas Pasatieri's La Divina, and Salieri's Prima la Musica, e Poi le Parole, performed in Pittsburgh's own version of the Petit Trianon Palace.

An epigram by Samuel Sheppard, from Epigrams theological, philosophical, and romantick (1651) runs thus: :Virgula divina. :"Some Sorcerers do boast they have a Rod, :Gather'd with Vowes and Sacrifice, :And (borne about) will strangely nod :To hidden Treasure where it lies; :Mankind is (sure) that Rod divine, :For to the Wealthiest (ever) they incline." Early attempts at an explanation of dowsing were based on the notion that the divining rod was physically affected by emanations from substances of interest. The following explanation is from William Pryce's 1778 Mineralogia Cornubiensis: A study towards the end of the nineteenth century concluded that the phenomenon was attributed to cryptesthesia, whereby the practitioner made unconscious observations of the terrain and involuntarily influenced the movement of the rod.
