H. Letter of Karl Wilhelm Dindorf; 1 Feb. 1856. Dindorf writes [to the Oxford University Press?] of his reaction to the discovery of forgeries by Constantine Simonides who had sold Dindorf a work by Uranius on the Kings of Egypt. Dindorf had intended to edit the work, and a preface and specimen had been set up at Oxford, and a few copies distributed before the forgery was discovered. Dindorf writes that the matter will be of interest to the British Museum and Sir Thomas Phillipps who had purchased nearly 30 manuscripts from Simonides. Purchased from J. L. M. Gulley, June 2005.
ff. 50-51. 215 x 128mm.
