Royal MS 15 B XVIII

JUVENALIS Satirae, with gloss, interlinear and marginal, including the notes attributed to Cornutus, and the reference to Alcuin, but not that to Hericus. Text of interpolated type. Sat. xvi comes at the end and is followed by :-(a) Life of Juvenal, consisting of the two printed by Otto Jahn, Juv. Sat., 1851, p. 386, as nos. i and vii and some additional notes. Beg. 'Iunius Iuuenalis libertini locupletis'; ends 'opus inchoabant'. f. 60;-(b) Life of Persius (ascribed to Probus), printed by Jahn, Persi Sat., 1843, p. 235. Much rubbed. f. 60 b. Leaves are lost after ff. 9, 14 containing iii. 166-230 and v. 140-vi. 29. Prefatory life of Juvenal (Jahn, no. vii) beg. 'Iuuenalis satiricus Aquinas fuit, id est de Aquino opido'. The first part of the commentary proper is much rubbed.

Vellum ; ff. 60. 11 in. x 7 in. XI cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves (iii wants first and last, viii⁶), numbered at the end. Usually 31 lines to a page, but from f. 55 b (where the hand changes) irregular. Sec. f.1. 'Quadriuio'. On f. 47 is scribbling in a late 13th cent. hand in the name of the 'officialis curie Attrebatensis' [Arras]. On f. 1 (in a 13th cent. hand ?) 'ii. sol. et vi.d.' Belonged -to [Jacques] Bongars, like the preceding MS. The name 'Henricus Stephanus, 1544' on f. 1 is probably only a reference to Stephanus' edition of that date. Cat. of 1666, f. 20; CMA. 8507 or 8506.
