PLATO'S TIMAEVS in the Latin version of Chalcidius, with Chalcidius' commentary, dedicated to Osius [perhaps the Bishop of Cordova, 296-357]. The commentary is imperfect, ending in cap. clxxiv (Wrobel's ed., 1876). Interlined and marginal glosses in a minute hand identical or contemporary with that of the text. Preface beg. 'Osio Calcidius. Ysocrates in doctrinacionibus suis'; translation, ['Unus duo tres' supplied in margin] 'Quartum enumero, Timee'; commentary (f.9), 'Timeus Platonis et a ueteribus difficilis habitus'. Other copies are in Add. MSS. 11942, 15293, 15601, 22815; cf. 7 D. XXV, art. 7.
Between the preface and text has intruded (from the margin of an archetype ?) a copy of an inscription of A.D. 119, 'IMP. CAES. REGI TRAIANI PARTHICI FIL. DIVI NERVE NEPOS [TRAI?]ANVS HADRIANVS AVG. PONTIF. MAX. TRIB. POTEST VIII COS. III PER LEGIONEM XIIII GEM[inam] MAR[tiam] VIC[tricem] ANTO[ninianam]'. f. 2.
The fly-leaves (ff. 52-71, 6 in. x 41/4 in.) are from a collection of Offertoria (11th-12th cent.) arranged in an unusual order, accompanied by neums. Some small pen-drawings in the margin.
