These verses appear to have escaped the attention of Renouard. On
the reverse of the second leaf, we read the following title :
Em^TOAiKOi Trnoi.
On the recto of the 7th leaf begins the text of Synesius, upon sign. a.
The recto of the last leaf of the first part, shews us that, exclusively of
the 6 leaves forming signature *, the signatures run through one
alphabet, as far as A of the second, in eights ; with the exception of «,
£, y, o, e, r, which have each twelve leaves ; of $, which has ten; of r7,
with six, and A, only four. The last leaf of the text of this first part
contains a Greek epistle of Marcus Musurus, the editor of the Collec-
tion. The colophon is as follows :
Yenetiis apud Aldum mense Martio . M.ID. cum pri-
uilegio ut in caeteris.
The reverse is blank. On the recto of the next leaf, we read the
contents of the Second Part, in two columns; one Greek, the other
Latin. From which we gather that this part contains the Epistles of
Basilius Magnus, of Libanius the rhetorician, of Chio Platonicus, of
Aeschines and Isocrates, of Phalaris, of Brutus Romanus, of Apollonius
Tyanensis, and of Julian the Apostate. The address of Aldus, on the
reverse of this leaf, is worth submitting to the reader’s notice :
Aldus Manutius Romanus Antonio
Codro Yrceo. S. P. D.

re potuimus grsecas epistolasj easque typis nostris ex/
cusas, duobus libris publicamus, preeter multas illas Ba
