History Of The Peloponnesian War Vol 2 Of 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of the Peloponnesian War, Vol. 2 The library of St. Mark contains also four other manuscripts of Thucydides, which I partially collated, and which are marked in this edition by' the letters W, X, Y, and Z. The first of these is marked in the library catalogue, 365. It is a small folio, written on paper, and contains Herodotus and the Hellenics of Xenophon, as well as Thucydides. Its date is about the fifteenth century. X is a large folio, written on paper, and of the date of the fourteenth century. It is numbered in the catalogue, 367. Y is a folio, also written on paper, and of the date of the fourteenth century. It is marked in the catalogue, Classis VII. Historia profana, cod. 50. This manuscript was taken to Paris by the French, and restored in 1815. It contains a great mass of unpublished scholia, written so illegibly, that the shortness of my stay at Venice did not allow me to decypher them. Z is a folio, on parchment, of the fifteenth century, marked in the catalogue, Classis VII. Cod. 5. It was formerly in the library of the Dominican convent of St. John and St. Paul at Venice. The two first books and half of the third were written by Pallas Strozzi, of Florence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
