notes
Ms. codex.
Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Origin: Written in Italy in the 15th century. Lacking at least three quires at the beginning, the entire text of Hercules Furens and the first 382 lines of Thyestes. Some of the missing pages may be Biblioteca de Catalunya Ms. 632, a 24-leaf manuscript comprising only Hercules Furens (see L. R. Fernández, Catálogo de los manuscritos clásicos latinos existentes en España (Madrid, 1984), 24-25). The prologues were edited by R. Peiper, "De Senecae tragoediarum vulgari lectione" in Festschrift zur 250jährigen Jubelfeier des Gymnasiums zu St. Maria Magdalena zu Breslau am 30. April 1893 (Breslau, 1893), pp. 161-164.
