- Abstract:
- Manuscript on paper (polished) of Scholia on Hesiod, Works; the text breaks off abruptly at the end of the commentary for line 755, where Scribe 2 has finished the final 12 lines begun by Scribe 1.
- Description:
- In Greek., Watermarks: Briquet Ancre 592 and similar to Briquet Arbalete 744, Tete de boeuf 14867 and Harlfinger Ancre 83., Script: Written in two distinct hands. Scribe 1 was responsible for the commentary and left ample space to supply the text of Hesiod; he did not complete his task. Scribe 2 supplied the first two verses of each Hesiod passage under discussion, wrote the final twelve lines of commentary contained in the codex (ff. 68v-69r), and added the heading and initials in red. All the additions of Scribe 2 are in a darker ink and bolder style of writing; he is the same scribe as that in MS 257, and as Scribe 3 in MS 290 and Scribe 1 in MS 490., Two headpieces in black ink (ff. 1r, 9r); heading and two initials on f. 1r in red., and Binding: 18th-19th centuries. Paper case, "alla rustica". The name of Tzetzes is still legible on front cover. Both the style of binding and the hand on the front cover are the same as those for Beinecke MS 290.
