The Republican Period.- Vol. 2. the Imperial Period (Paperback)

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ... Apparat etc. p. 1-6. Detlefsen, in Jahn s Jahrb. 87, p. 550 sqq.). The original ms. of the letters ad fam. (saec. XI, the source of all other mss.) is still in existence (Cod. Med. plut. XLIX, Nr. IX), and so is Petrarca s copy (Cod. Medic. pl. XLIX nr. VII); but of the letter ad Atticum etc. the ms. found at Verona has again been lost, only the copy taken by Petrarca being extant (ib. pl11t.XLIX, cod. XVIII), which also contains numerous corrections by Coluccio Salutato, most of them being conjectures of that scholar, some also emendations derived from arenewed collation of the original ms. (comp. Hotmann p. 6 sq. and 8-25). The cod. Turnesianus, however, (z), about which Lambinus notes may be relatively depended on, but which is lost now, was not derived from Petrarca s copy (M), see Hofmann p. 26-30, nor is a cod. Escurial. saec. XIV or XV, and similarly the marginal notes in Cratander s edition (c), Basle 1528, seem to be due to some ms. older than the Med. (Fr. Hofmann p. 26. 30----47.), i. e. either to the same ms. as the Wiirzburg and Munich leaves (Spengel, Munich Gel. Anz. 1846 p. 917 sqq. 926 sqq. Halm, Rh. Mus. XVIII p. 460-463) or one very much like it. On the mss. of the 15th century and the edd. principes of the year 1470 (the Romana and the Jensoniana = R and I) see Fr. Hofmann p. 48-65, and on the history of the ms. tradition of the letters Orelli Prolegg. to T. IH of the second edition of his Cicero, with D. Detlefsen in Jahn s Jahr. 87 p. 551-571. A popular work is G. Boissier, sur la maniere dont furent recueillies et publiees les lettres de Ciceron, Paris I863. 6. H. A. Koch, Emendationes Ciceronis Epistolarum, Putbus 1855. 10 pp. 4. Rhein.
