recto of fol. 13 ; succeeded imraediately by the Georgics; whicli latter
conclude on tlie recto of fol. 45. The reverse of fol. 45 is occupied by
the usual poetical prefixes. On the recto of fol. 46, the Mneid com-
mences, having the four verses, beginning ‘ Ille ego,’ prefixed. For a
reason, which does not strike me as being very obvious, there is, after
the verse ‘Tantae molis erat. romanam codere gentem,’ the following
division :
Capitulum primu in quo osteditur tempestas
quam Aeneas passus fuerit in mari siculo.
Ix e cospectu siculae telluris in altum
Yela dabant lteti 8c spumas salis aere ruebant.
Quom Iuno aeternum seruans sub pectore uulnus.
Haec secum. Me ne incoepto desistere uictam?
There is no other designation of chapter (as far as I can discover) in
the whole of theTwelve Books of the 4£neid. On the recto of fol. 190,
at top, we read the last line of the Xllth book. The XHIth Book, by
Mafeus Vaegius Laudensis, ensues, having a poetical prefix of 12 lines.
The Xlllth book begins thus:
Yrnus ut extremo deuictus marte pro
fudit
Effugientem animam. medioque sub
agmine uictor
Magnanimus stetit aeneas mauortius beros
Obstupuere omnes gemitumq; dedere latini.
This Xlllth book occupies 10 leaves; beginning on the recto of fol.
190, and ending on the recto of fol. 199. Next follow the supposed
Opuscula of the author; namely, the Copa, Moretum, Dirce, De est et
non, de Rosis, Culex, and the Priapeia; the latter without anv prefix.
These minor poems comprehend 21 leaves; coneluding the entire
volume at fol. 221, recto. Subjoined to the Epigram to the Priapeia
(wanting in the Magliabechi copy, but transmitted toFossi byAloysius
Tramontanus, ‘ vir monumentorum typographicae artis studiosissirnus’)
we read the colophon thus :
