Vindobonensis Y (21), written round about the beginning of the fourteenth century, contains sixteen dialogues and six Spuria in a curious order, the first two Tetralogies and the Parmenides, then the Gorgias, Meno, Hippias Major, Symposium, Timaeus, Alcibiades I and II, and Spuria 7, 1–5, and was thought by Jordan and Immisch

1 Immisch (and others) dated this manuscript to the fourteenth century or later (Philologische Studien zu Platon, ii. 72),Google Scholar but Professor A. Turyn has found some precise evidence to show that ‘Y is in its entirety a product of about 1300 A.D., written in Constantinople by seven scribes, one of whom was Maximus Planudes.’ (Quotation from a letter dated 21 Aug. 1965.)

3 Mr. W. S. M. Nicoll has argued in C.Q. N.s. xvi (1966), 70 ff., that for the Apology also Y depends on Esc, though in this case he finds that Esc probably derives from Par itself.Google Scholar
