mundi gubernatione diuina prouidentia,' 3 leaves. Next, ‘ De uita beata,'
7 leaves and a half: succeeded by ‘ de consolatione,' 12 leaves and a
half. The l'ecto of the ensuing leaf gives us this prefix :

occupy 11 leaves. The latter is followed by ‘ de breuitate uitce,’ 10

The ‘ prouerbia’ immediately follow: 4 leaves. On the recto of the
4th of which, after ‘ Expliciunt prouerbia Senecse,’ we read the colo-
phon and subscription as follow :

Sub domino Blasio Romero monacho Populeti phi/
losopho ac theologo celebri est impressum hoc opus
in ciuitate Neapolis Anno domini: M. lxxiiiii. Diuo
Ferdinando regnante.

Gabrielis Carchani mediolanensis in artificem carmen:

Iam poene abstulerat Senecae monumeta uetusta
Vixq; erat haec ullus cui bene nota forent
Tam bona: sed docti Mathiae scripta moraui
Artificis : non est passa perire manus
Huic igitur meritas grates studiosa iuuentus
Pro tam sublimi munere semper agas

The reverse of this leaf presents us with a table of the gatherings, in
tens, and a list. of the works, which latter have been specifically detailed.

Apostle Paul, prefixed, together with a list of the remaining Epistles.

the 5thleaf fromthe beginning of this prefatory matter, and the Epistles
end on the reverse of the 111th leaf, from the same beginning. At
bottom:
