Extract

In L. D. Reynolds (ed.), Texts and Transmission: a Survey of the Latin Classics (Oxford, 1983), it is stated by J. G. F. Powell (p. 122) and by M. D. Reeve (p. 327 n. 4) that MS. Berlin, Deutsche Staatsbibliothek Lat. 4° 404 (s. ix), containing Cicero, De amicitia, and Publilius Syrus, Sententiae, is missing. Not so: it is currently held with numerous other Berlin MSS., including humanistic and musical autographs, at the Jagellonian Library in Cracow, where I saw it on 5 May 1992. Other classical MSS. from Berlin now held in Cracow are Lat. 4° 1 (Eutropius, Breviarium, and Victor Vitensis, Historia persecutions Africanae prouinciae, s. xi), 257 (Vergil, Bucolics 3.107–4.47, s. ix), 590 (Boethius, opuscula, s. xii), 939 (Boethius, Cons. Phil. with Remigius' commentary, s. x/xi; till 1935 Schloβ Maihingen, Fürstlich Öttingen-Wallensteinsche Bibliothek, I 2, lat. 4° 3), and 8° 102 (Statius, Achilleis, 1.375–513, 2.120–257, s. xiv).
