- Description
-
In Greek.
Watermarks: similar to Briquet Chapeau 3397 for leaves with text, and to Harlfinger Cloche 31 for blank pages.
Script: Text was written by a single scribe. A later hand, bold and ill-formed, supplied the table of contents (ff. iii verso-iv verso), minor marginal notations and the foliation in the upper right corner (for ff. 1-60).
Tinted drawing of Oppian writing his poem while contemplating fish in a nearby stream occurs on f. 1v (perhaps an amateur copy of an author portrait); one simple 6-line initial in red and black penwork, f. 2r; headings in red.
Binding: Nineteenth century. Title in ink on fore edge. Tan calf case with deep geometric indentations, blind-tooled, with a dark blue, gold-tooled calf label. Similar to the bindings of MSS 256 and 258. Possibly bound by Whitaker (we thank A. R. A. Hobson for this information). - Provenance
- Belonged to Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford (1766-1827) and to Sir Thomas Phillipps (no. 6435). Purchased from L. C. Witten with funds from the Jacob Ziskind Charitable Trust in 1957.
