The preceding is upon sign. a ii—a blank leaf forming a i. On the
recto of the ensuing leaf, a iii, the text of Jamblichus begins, and ends
on the recto of f i. Proclus follows, and concludes on h viij, reverse :
Porphyrius concludes on K iiii, I’ecto: Synesius, on M vj, reverse:

rely upon other authorities for a more particular account of it. Zapf
tells us, however, that a copy is in the Buxheim Library : Annal. Typog.
August. p. 9; Annal. Typog. vol. i. p. 101- c2; vol. iv. p. 230. It is
