CAESAR'S Commentaries with the additions of Aulus Hirtius and others, viz.:
1. 'C. Iulii Cesaris commentariorumbelli Gallici liber primus incipit. Iulius Celsus Constantinus vir clarissimus emendauit': Celsus' inscription precedes in each case libb. i-vii, but Lupicinus' note is absent from the end of lib. ii; the rubric of lib. viii is 'Auli Hircii uiri clarissimi de bello Gallico prohemium in viii. librum'. The text appears to belong to the a recension of Kübler (Teubner Ser., 1893) and other editors. f. 2.
2. 'Commentariorum C. Iulii Cesaris de bello Gallico (sic) liber viiii (-x) A. Hircii viri clarissimi incipit' (the rubric of book iii is not inserted): the three books De bello ciuili. The text looks like a much emended copy of the Laurentian MS. plut. lxviii, cod. 8 (Kübler's W). Ends 'a Cesare est interfectus'. f. 88 b.
3. Bellum Alexandrinum, without title. The text in this and the two following articles also has several readings of W. f. 144.
4. Bellum Africum, without title. f. 162.
5. Bellum Hispaniense, without title. f. 184 b.
Vellum; ff. 195. 131/4 in. x 91/4 in. Second half of XV cent. On f. 1 b is the note of the Florentine bookseller Vespasiano Filippo da Bisticci (d. 1498), 'Vespasianus librarius Florentinus hoc opus Florentie transcribendum curauit' (cf. the Paris MS. Bibl. Nat. fonds lat. 4797). Gatherings of 10 leaves; catchwords at right angles to the text. Sec. fol. 'habebat eodem'. Illuminated initials (white vine tendril), the first with border-prolongation. Part of the illuminated border of f. 1 (with arms ?) has been cut away. The volume is probably from Sir Robert Cotton's library, forming part of the same exchange as 15 B. VII (q.v.). Royal press-mark of a seal (a ship); not in cat. of 1666; CMA. 8592.
