Taurinensis Athenai Bibliothecam. Bibliographica et critica descriptione illustravit, anecdota passim inseruit AMADEUS PEYRON, in eodem Athenæo Theol. colleg. doct. et Linguarum orient. Professor. 4to. Lipsia, 1820. pp. 93. THE collection of books and manuscripts described in this volume was deposited in the Royal library at Turin, by the munificence of the Abbé T. Valperga-Čalusius; and it is to record this munificence that the present volume is submitted to the public. He appears during his life-time to have diligently studied the promotion of literature among his fellow-citizens, and still, as our author elegantly, but with justice, observes, continues so to do: nec post fata iisdem (studiis) amplificandis deesse sibi videbatur, si per suam librorum supellectilem veluti præsens versaretur inter bonarum literarum cultores. Saltem me libros suos describentem amabilis illa insania ludebat, qua eum ipsum recensioni studiisque meis interesse pergrato errore crederem.' (Præf. p. iii.) The volume is divided into 4 parts, the 1st containing an account of the more curious Rabbinical, Greek, and other Mss. the 2d the authors printed in the 15th century: the 3d the Rabbinical books; and the 4th books edited "" post sæculum xv." The 1st Greek Ms. mentioned is Theodosii Grammatici Erotemata de prosodia, which our author had himself published and illustrated, in the Memorie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, tom. 23. par. 2. p. 183. sqq. not knowing that he had been anticipated by Bekker in his Anecdota Græca. The 2d contains scholia on the Odyssey, abridged from Eustathius, but with so much conciseness as to be rendered unintelligible. It contains some things not to be found in the Bishop's comment, but they are very few, and of little value. Our author takes occasion, on the mention of this volume, to answer a "quæstiuncula" proposed by Valckenaer: "Hic VOL. XXVII. CI. JI. NO. LIII. C ! cum monuisset' complura scholia libri Leidensis inedita præferre nomen Senacherimi, subdebat porro: pervelim autem ut quis me quidpiam de isto Senacheribo edocefaciat, quibus in oris, et quo temporis articulo, sæculo XII, an XIII, vixerit. Plura de nomine Zevaxeipiu congessit Villoisonius,2 eumque circa sæculum XII vixisse conjicit; nonnulla etiam de hoc grammatico, cujus scholia in Codice Mos cuensi leguntur, attigit Heynius;3 at neuter ad Valckenarii interrogationen apte respondit. Aptissime vero respondisse judico Calusium in suis ineditis adversariis monentem, non alium esse a Michaële Senacheribo, Nicæno, rhetoricam et poesin publice profitente, ad quem epistola data ab Imperatore Theodoro Duca Lascaris servatur in celeberrimo codice Casinensi fol. 10.4 Imo Calusius in codice Casinensi, quem tractaverat, legebat__Σevaynpsiμ, namque in illius ætatis libris forma elementi ẞ ad illam accedit. Quare Senacherib, vel Sennacherim, scholiastes Homeri, Nicææ florebat medio sæculo XIII." (p. 23.) But leaving this portion of the volume, which contains also the Rabbinical Mss. to those more competent to handle them, we pass on to the 2d part; and the first work, on which the professor enlarges, is Ciceronis Orationes, C. Sweynheym et A. Pannartz fol. Romæ 1471, and he observes, that Fabricius is wrong in asserting that it contains all the orations, as those Pro Marcello et pro Deiotaro are wanting. No. 8 and 14 are, Homeri opera Gr. fol. Florentiæ 1488, and, Luciani opera Gr. fol. Florentiæ 1496; on which latter work he observes, that of 3 copies in this library two are mutilated in the tracts de morte Peregrini and Philopatris; and that the signatures y and xx should each comprise 8 leaves. These defects arise from this portion of Lucian having been condemned in the Index librorum a concilio Tridentino prohibitorum. Νο. 15 is Θησαυρός. Κέρας ̓Αμαλθείας, καὶ Κῆποι ̓Αδώνιδος. Thesaurus Cornucopiæ, et Horti Adonidis, folio, Venetiis 1496. This rare and splendid volume appears from the professor's account to have been much neglected.

He regets that Koen, the acute editor of Gregorius Corinthius, as well as Bast, and Schæfer, have omitted to collate the Aldine text: "textum enim (he continues pag. 32) Cornucopia ab Editionibus differre, atque modo cum Codice Vaticano, modo cum exemplaribus Parisinis facere, interdum etiam inauditas exhibere lectiones, ipse animadverti, exemplisque confirmare juvat.

Similar observations and quotations are made with regard to the " Ecloga," edited by Guarinus Camers, and the opusculum Johannis Grammatici de dialectis. In fact, to use the professor's words, philologists seem to be very far from having gathered the flowers of these gardens. Professor Peyron, being now in the company of grammarians, produces an inedited fragment of Elius Herodianus ex cod. Taurinensi c. i. 25. folio 73 verso. The remainder of the article is taken up with remarks on the opuscula Grammaticorum edited by Hermann, viz. Fragmenta Lexici Græci and Libellus de constructione verborum. The number of articles described in this part of the work are 25. 1 From page 41 to 56 is filled with an account of the I In the preface (p. 10.) of the Glasgow edition of Euripides' works lately pub |
