Introduction

The Manuscripts

The oldest and soundest ms. of the Epistulae ad Familiares is the Codex Mediceus 49. 9, now in the Laurentian Library at Florence. This is known as M. Other Mss., each giving some of the letters, are:

  • G, Codex Harleianus 2773, in the British Museum.
  • R, Codex Parisianus 17812, in the Bibhothèque Nationale.
  • (G and R are closely connected, and both independent of M.)
  • T, Codex Turonensis 688, in the Library of Tours.
  • H, Codex Harleianus 2682, in the British Museum.
  • F, Codex Erfurtensis, now Berolinensis, 252, which closely follows H.
  • D, Codex Palatinus, originally at Heidelberg, now in the Vatican.


Of these M alone contains all the Epistulae ad Familiares, G, R, and T giving different portions of Bks. I. to VIII., and H, F, and D of Bks. IX. to XVI.
