Dd. XIII. 2.

A large folio, on vellum, beautifully and distinctly written
before the middle of the fifteenth century, in a large bold hand,
mostly in good preservation, except where the illuminations, and
even whole leaves (as fols. 208, 209), have been cut out. It con-
tains (besides two blank leaves at the beginning) 309 leaves,
paged, but the pagination is incorrect, fol. 45 being followed by
fol. 50, where however nothing has been cut out: each page is
in double column, each column containing 47 lines. The larger
initial letters are variously coloured and flourished but the illu-
minations prefixed to each treatise are cut out, with few excep-
tions. A leaf or more at the beginning is wanting the words on
the first page are partly obliterated: but it opens with several short
epitaphs on Cicero, consisting of 68 lines, beginning with a pen-
tameter:

:

Nil agis, Antoni: scripta diserta manent.
Vulnere nempe uno Ciceronem conficis: at te
Tullius æternis vulneribus lacerat.

The last two lines are

Qui sexaginta completis et tribus annis

Servitio oppressam destituit patriam.

These lines on Cicero's tomb are by the Duodecim Poeta Scholastici of
Paris (circa A.D. 1200): they are published by Meyer, Anthol. Lat. Tom. 1.
pp. 164-166.

The MS. supplies the titles of the works of Cicero which it contains.

1. M. T. Ciceronis de Senectute ad Atticum, fol. 1.

It is here divided into two books.

2. Ejusdem de Natura Deorum, libb. iii. fol. 9 b.
3. Ejusdem de Divinatione, libb. ii. fol. 52.

4. Ejusdem de Fato, fol. 81 b.

The commencement of the treatise is contained in this MS., which is wanting in Orelli's edition, Vol. 4, pars 2, p. 219.

The work, however, ends abruptly with the word naturaliter, as in Orelli's edition: and the scribe adds in the margin, Deest usque ad finem libri fol. 86 b. At fol. 87 occurs the remark, 'Ut autem intentio auctoris Tulli in libris de Deorum natura, de Divinatione, et fato melius intelligatur liber B. Augustini de Civ. Dei quintus diligenter respiciatur.' Then follows a long citation from lib. v. c. 9, of the abovenamed work (t. 7, p. 122, ed. Benedict), comprising most of the chapter: also another from lib. vi. c. 2 (p. 147). See Cambridge Journal of Class and Sacr. Phil. Vol. 2, pp. 97, 98.

5. Lucullus (i. e. Academ. Prior. lib. ii. Vol. 4, pt. 1, p. 6— 60, ed. Orell.) fol. 88.

6. Ex libris ejusdem de republica aliisque fragmenta quædam ex Augustino, 106b.

The title in the MS. runs thus: 'Verba Willelmi de Malmesbury collecta ex libris Augustini, et Tullii Ciceronis in istis dicta etiam exprimuntur.'

Neither Cave nor Wright notices William of Malmesbury's labours on Cicero. The remarks begin thus: Cicero in initio secundi libri de Divinatione dicit se fecisse quatuor libros Academicos.

William proceeds to say that the first two books, and also his Hortensius and Republic, are not found in England: accordingly he gives whatever he can discover 'de materia et intentione' of the latter out of Augustine.

7. Ejusdem Timeus, fol. 108 b.

Contains the mutilated treatise, ending with the word dabitur, as in Orelli's edition.

8. Ejusdem de Paradoxis liber, fol. 114.

Contains some prefatory observations taken from the Saturnalia of Macrobius.

9. Ejusdem Oratio pro Milone, fol. 118.

10. Ejusdem Oratio pro Cneo Plancio, fol. 128 b.

11. Ejusdem Oratio pro Marco Coelio, fol. 139 b.

12. Ejusdem Oratio pro P. Sylla, fol. 147 b.

13. Ejusdem Oratio pro Cneo Pompeio [i. e. pro lege Manilia], fol. 156.

Proceeds regularly up to fol. 161, to the end of § 51, p. 454, Orelli: after which follows the latter part of the oration pro Cacinâ, beginning by $ 65, and proceeding to near the end, where the leaf is mutilated.

14. Ejusdem Oratio pro Marco Marcello, fol. 164.

The first leaf much mutilated.
