 A NEW MANUSCRIPT OF CICERO'S DE SENECTVTE 
 
 By Gbokge Reeves Throop 
 
 s. 
 
 Codex C is a MS in the library of Cornell University. Its 
 catalogue number is MSS B3. It measures 193/10 by 143/10 cm., 
 is bound in calf with gold tooling, and bears upon the back the 
 title: M. T. CIC./PARADOX./DE SENECT./DE AMICIT./ 
 It contains the coat-of-arms and motto of "Le comte D. Boutour- 
 lin," undoubtedly the well-known Russian historian, bibliophile, 
 and librarian, Dimitri Boutourlin (17. .-1850), long director of 
 the Imperial Library at Petersburg, whose fine collection of books 
 and manuscripts was sold at auction in Paris in 1839-41. The 
 following flyleaf note, "Vente Monmerqu6/13 fr 50c/Ie 5 Juin 
 1851," shows that the MS had come into the possession of the 
 eminent French antiquary and book-collector, Louis Jean Nicolas 
 Monmerqu6 (1780-1860). The MS seems next to have become 
 the property of the noted Parisian publisher, Ambrose Firmin 
 Didot (1790-1876), as is evident from his bookmark. He doubt- 
 less purchased it at the Monmerqu6 sale in 1851, and probably 
 owned it until his death in 1876. It was purchased in Paris, in 
 1886, by Professor G. L. Burr, for the President White Historical 
 Library, now a part of the library of Cornell. 
 
 The MS is a palimpsest of which the under-writing has been 
 removed by abrasion. This under-writing, which is slightly 
 visible in many places, appears to be a cursive hand of probably 
 the thirteenth century. It is undecipherable though almost legible 
 in many places: e. g., on folios 88 a, 91 h, 107 h, 108 a, etc. 
 The leaves are in many cases rubbed full of holes in an effort to 
 remove the original writing. The writing itself is on vellum of a 
 yellowish-white color, marred by a few worm-holes. The leaves 
 are of moderate thickness, except several that have been scraped 
 thin by the abrasion. 
 
 The MS consists of quaternions with catchword signatures at 
 the bottom of the page. These catchwords are, as usual, the first 
 
 [Ci/ASBIOAL Philoloqy III, July, 1908] 285 
 
286 Geoege Reeves Theoop 
 
 words of the text at the top of the opposite page. It contains 123 
 leaves, of which 25-26 and 74-75 are blanks, and are inserted by 
 the binder between the essays. There are also four blank leaves 
 at the front and the same number- at the end of the MS. It is of 
 one column, eighteen lines to a page, twenty-four to thirty letters 
 to a line, with large margins. Ruled lines are drawn with a sharp 
 point, apparently of lead. 
 
 The MS contains: (1) PARADOXA. Begins on fol. 1 a: 
 Animadvorti Brute/ sepe Catonem. Ends on fol. 24 6; inopes et 
 pauper es exti/mandi sunt. Amen. (2) CATO MAIOR. Begins 
 on fol. 27 a.- O TITE si quid ego adiuto/ cur arrive. Ends on fol. 
 73 6.- re experti pro/bare possitis. Amen:/ Mar ciTullii Cicero- 
 nis/ad Acticum de Senectute/ Liber Explicit. Amen: /DEO 
 GBATIAS. (3) LAELIUS. Begins on fol. 76 a: Quintus 
 Mucius au/gur Scevola multa narrare. Ends on fol. 123 6; 
 nichil amieitia pre/stabilius esse putetis. Amen. 
 
 The initial letter in each essay is large (1^ by 1^ inches), is 
 colored in blue and red, and highly ornamented. This, however, 
 is the only trace of the rubricator in the De senectute; in the 
 latter, also, a different shade of blue and red was used from that 
 employed in the Paradoxa and De amieitia. The latter two 
 essays are rubricated throughout — interlocutors, proper names, 
 chapter headings, etc. In the De senectute the names of the 
 interlocutors are sometimes written in the text by the first hand; 
 oftener s. blank" space is left, presumably for their insertion by 
 the rubricator. This space is always supplied with the name 
 written in very small script. 
 
 The MS has many glosses and variant readings by a later 
 hand. In the same hand as the glosses are the following captions 
 at the beginning of the three essays, respectively: De paradossis, 
 De senectute, De amieitia. The punctuation is confined to two 
 signs. One of these is the sign of interrogation ; the other is the 
 simple point, which is freely used by the writer for comma, semi- 
 colon, and period. The hand of the glosses has divided the 
 sentences throughout by very fine upright lines which often can 
 scarcely be discerned. 
 
 At the end of the Paradoxa, on fol. 24 b, is the following sub- 
 
A New Manuscript of Ciobko's De Senectvte 287 
 
 scription: MCCCCIIIIo in dictione die XXIa mensis Junii 
 expletus est hora XXa. Also at the end of the De senectute, on 
 fol. 73 bj MCCCCIIIIo die {XXa) mensis Aprilis hora XVIII 
 feliciter a me francischo expletus est liber iste. There is no sub- 
 scription at the end of the De amicitia. On the third paper 
 flyleaf at the end of the book, a neat modern hand has written 
 (1) Le trait6 De Senectute a 6t6 6crit et termini par Franciscus 
 en 1404 le 20 Avril h la 18e heure. (2) Le m^me Franciscus a 
 6crit et termini le trait6 De Paradoxis le 21 Juin de la mfime 
 ann6e h la 20e heure. (3) Le trait6 De Amicitia est de la m6me 
 main. It is, of course, clear enough that this note has no worth 
 as evidence, and that the subscriptions of the glossator are the 
 source of its information. The statement in regard to the De 
 amicitia was of course only surmised from the similarity of the 
 writing of the De amicitia to that of the other essays. The 
 French note was probably written by Boutourlin, as the flyleaf 
 may be older than the present binding, which is, I suppose, that 
 of Firmin Didot. 
 
 The Latin subscriptions are in the same hand and ink as the 
 readings of the second hand, the glosses, and the captions men- 
 tioned above. This ink is of a very pale brown, even when 
 heavily applied, as often occurs. It never approaches the deep 
 black color of the ink in which the text is written, except on a few 
 leaves, where by reason of age the writing has partly faded away. 
 That this lighter shade is not due to the smaller size of the writ- 
 ing is shown by the captions and by a line inserted in the text by 
 a later hand at the bottom of fol. 31 b: dulcedine morum et 
 affabilitate. The writing, though heavier perhaps than that of 
 the text, retains here its distinctive light-brown shade. 
 
 The writing of the text itself is extremely regular and legible, 
 being apparently that of the Italian book-hand then prevalent. 
 It shows none of the fifteenth-century degeneration which is so 
 noticeable in the glosses and readings of the second hand. 
 Abbreviations, which in that century are so plentiful and so diffi- 
 cult of decipherment, are here confined to a few words, and are 
 exceedingly easy to understand. The letters are not compressed 
 laterally, as is common in the latter part of the fourteenth and in 
 
288 George Reeves Theoop 
 
 the fifteenth century. The regularity of the writing is certainly 
 much beyond that usually found in MSS of that date. Nor does 
 it partake in the least of -the Renaissance style prevalent in the 
 fifteenth century ; the letters are too angular, and do not have the 
 graceful rounded ends and slender upward strokes or tails. 
 
 Some specific points may be cited as illustrating the above 
 statements. In the fourteenth century the letter a, made with the 
 upper loop open in the the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, 
 closes the top of the loop. This letter is found in our MS, appar- 
 ently in different stages of development; the letter even occurs 
 with the upper loop entirely open. The usual form is a letter 
 made with the upper loop partly closed ; then an extra stroke, very 
 faint, and often not to be discerned except by close examination, 
 is added to the lower part of the upper loop. This latter stroke 
 usually just fails to touch the lower part of the letter. This 
 change in^the form of the letter a, which took place in the four- 
 teenth century, seems therefore to be felt by the scribe as then 
 going on. 
 
 In the glosses, etc., the letter t is made with the horizontal 
 stroke at about the middle of the letter. This was the common 
 style in 1404, the date of the glosses. In the twelfth and thir- 
 teenth centuries, this letter was made with the horizontal stroke at 
 the top of the perpendicular; then, about the beginning of the 
 fourteenth century, the perpendicular stroke was slightly lowered. 
 This change continued, until, in the fifteenth century, the letter 
 was made with the horizontal stroke at about the center of the 
 perpendicular, just as in the case of the glosses mentioned above. 
 This letter is foiind in our MS with the cross-stroke ranging from 
 the very top to a point upon the perpendicular distant perhaps 
 one-fourth of its own length from the top. 
 
 The accenting of the letter i commenced in the twelfth century, 
 and was in large measure replaced by dots in the fifteenth and 
 even partly in the fourteenth century. No dots are found in our 
 MS. Yet the letter i is accented when near n, m, u, i, and some- 
 times in other places, but the accent is also at times omitted even 
 when i is near the letters mentioned. 
 
 Simple e is written for ae and oe, this had commenced as early 
 
A New Manuscript of Cioeko's De Seneotute 289 
 
 as the sixth century. The cedilla occurs once, however; ^ternus. 
 This is rarely found in fifteenth-century MSS. 
 
 From these facts there seems to be no doubt that at least the 
 scribe of the text and the scribe of the glosses were different per- 
 sons. They seem also to warrant us in placing the date of the 
 text at least fifty years, if not more, prior to the date given in the 
 subscriptions. The omission of the word liber in the subscription 
 to the Paradoxa might bear upon this. The use of the iste in the 
 De senectute subscription instead of the usual hie may or may not 
 be significant. The omission of a subscription to the De amicitia 
 is also noteworthy. It would not be unnatural for a scribe to 
 attach his name to a MS over which he had worked, if that MS 
 were not already provided with a subscription. 
 
 While the evidence undoubtedly points to the conclusion that 
 the MS was written as early as 1300-1350, yet owing to the fact 
 that no parallel instances of such postdating of manuscripts can 
 be cited, a more conservative criticism would probably hold to the 
 date given in the text. However, the value of the MS is not 
 materially affected, whether its date be 1800 or 1400. 
 
 The De senectute may be older than the other essays contained 
 in our MS, as in it the ink seems to have worn off or faded away 
 to a greater extent than in the Paradoxa and De amicitia. This, 
 however, might be fully explained by its having been more read. 
 The fact that the De senectute is not rubricated and that the initial 
 letter is in different colors from those used in the other essays 
 seems to indicate that it was written at a different time. But, as 
 no further evidence can be adduced on this subject, the similarity 
 of writing and of abbreviations in the three essays makes it rea- 
 sonably certain that they are all by the same hand. Even if this 
 is true, it by no means follows that the treatises were originally 
 thus bound together. 
 
 I shall denote the MS by C, the first hand by C\ the second 
 hand by C^ References by page and line are to C. P. W. 
 MllUer's edition of Cicero, Leipzig, 1879 (Editio stereotypa, 
 1898). His text is to be accepted without reserve for all readings 
 which are not noted. Italics in the collation denote words deleted 
 by the scribe but still readable.

 The second hand, though later, as shown above, is of almost 
 equal value with the first. It furnishes over three hundred vari- 
 ants, some of which preserve the correct reading against corrup- 
 tions in the text, many furnish important variants found in other 
 M@S, and many are found nowhere else. The same hand has 
 also written many glosses, few of which, however, are of any 
 importance. Yet in a few instances a gloss preserves the true 
 reading against a corruption or omission in the text; e. g., p. 155. 
 28 enim; 159. 10 essetj 148. 24 sunt. From the variety of 
 readings quoted by the second hand, it cannot be doubted that 
 several MSS were used in correcting the text. The second hand 
 quotes in several places two variants for one passage of the text; 
 e. g., p. 132. 8 C adventantis, 0^ coadventantis and advenientis; 
 155. 16 C mortis casus habet, G^ casus mortis habet, or casus 
 habet mortis; etc. Variants are also sometimes added by the 
 first hand ; as, p. 134. 27 nobilis; 136. 18 panathethicus. 
 
 The orthography, if not exact, is at least consistent. The 
 scribe seems to have followed a regular spelling in the case of 
 many words which usually vary in the MSS. Thus, always: 
 quorsum, deinde, dii, nichil, michi, unquam, tanquam, quotidie, 
 quascunque, etc., quendam, etc., quicquam, littera, quatuor, rep- 
 perio, autoritas, directus, valitudo, intelligo, etc., descriptio, 
 vendicare, monimenta, lacrimis, libido, maximus (and always 
 -imus in superlative endings), phylosophya, etc., -endum always 
 for -undum in gerunds and gerundives, adolescens, etc., iocundus, 
 conditione, spetie, spacio, ociosam, admistum, hi and his for ii 
 and lis, but the forms ei and eis are often employed ; the assimi- 
 lation of prepositions in compound words and like changes are 
 regular, but exceptions occur, as: affatur, afferre, appeti, etc., 
 colligo, comparare, etc., expectatis, extructis, etc., illustrium, 
 illudi, immissio, imbecillus, etc., opprimere, succumbebat. 
 
 Praenomina are regularly written out, as: Gaius for C, 
 Gneus for Cn., Lucius for L., Marcus for M. and Jf'., Publius 
 for P., Sextus for Sex,, Spurius for Sp., Titus for T. and Ti., 
 Quintus for Q., and twice the initial alone is written and blanks 
 are left for the insertion of the remainder: P - - - Crassus : 
 T--- Pontii. 
 
A New Manusokipt op Oioero's De Senectute 291 
 
 Genitives from proper names in -ius of the second declension 
 regularly have -ii, as: Puhlii Licinii Crassi, Publii Decii. 
 
 Proper names are often much confused or wrongly spelled, as 
 in most MSS of the De senectute. We find on p. 136, 17 Socratis 
 [Isocratis) ; 152. 21 Senocrates {Socrates); 146. 13 Flaminei 
 {Ftaminini) ; 146. 29 and 146. 35 Coruncanum; but 137. 16 and 
 141. 11 Coruncanii; Affricanus and Affricaniin 141. 27 and 143. 27 ; 
 but rightly in 160. 16, 17 ; Fabritii in 137. 16 ; also in 146. 24, 34: 
 Sannite in 145. 37, and always. We also find Lisander in 152. 28, 
 but Ly Sander elsewhere ; Olimpia in 136. 30 and 142. 36; Thermo- 
 philas in 142. 22; Symonidem in 139. 24; etc. 
 
 Abbreviations are common, but neither varied nor difficult to 
 understand. They are most numerous in case of the forms of the 
 relative pronoun, of the enclitic -que, and of -n and -m in con- 
 nection with the different vowels. Most of the abbreviations which 
 occur are found many times and are consequently easy to interpret. 
 
 It is unfortunate that the MS, while being comparatively free 
 from interpolation and especially free from omissions, abounds in 
 transpositions. These are probably traceable, to some extent, to 
 the scribe himself, as few are to be found in any other MS. They 
 seem for the most part to represent an endeavor to arrive at a 
 simpler Latin order; as, p. 139. 23 liber atus est; 142.- 1 puer 
 memini; 149. 21 maior esse potest; and in many places. 
 
 Interpolations are few in number and are mostly confined to 
 supplying a logical word where it seemed to be omitted from the 
 text. Most of these interpolations also have authority in other 
 MSS and doubtless arose simultaneously in many, from attempts 
 to improve or explain the text; e. g., p. 135. 17 Ennius aitj 135. 27 
 toga fuitj 136. 5 littere erant in eoj 137. 5 avocet series; etc. 
 One of greater length occurs after requirere on p. 143. 5: nam 
 cursus etatum nunquam retorquebitur. On p. 135. 4, after comi- 
 tate, a later hand has added at the bottom of the page in a script 
 which imitates the text: dulcedine morum et affabilitate. On 
 p. 131. 3, is found the old interpolation: et qua deprimeris. 
 
 Omissions are extremely rare. The only one worthy of note 
 occurs on p. 140. 16-17, where aZieW .... odiosum is omitted 
 as a result of the preceding odiosum.

 0^ or C^ often furnishes a good and frequently a correct text 
 in the case of readings supported by no or by slight MS authority. 
 Most of the readings which I here cite are commonly adopted by 
 editors. A few are supported by one or more of the better MSS. 
 
 E. g.; p. 135. 9 C^ cumque eo; 135. 20 C magisque magisque (coni. 
 Muretus); 135. 19 enim] C hie; 136. 7 ita cupide fruebar tunc; 136. 18 et; 
 136. 29 sicut; 136. 32 C^ anno enim vigesimo; 136. 35 C eonsulibus; 
 136. 37 C^ suasi; 137. 27 C^ decimo septimo anno; 141. 23 C^ an ne has; 
 142. 18 possem ; 142. 37 bovem unum utrum igitur ; 143. 18 in seneetute ; 
 143. 21 quae; 144. 19-20 ilia domo mospatrius et disc.; 144. 35 C^ magna 
 opere; 145. 29 posset; 146. 6 quorsum (also on p. 136. 9); 146. 16 C^ exora- 
 tus; 148. 25 tamen; liQ. 4: pseudolo ; 149. 12 C^ suade medullam; 149. 32 
 deinde (also on p. 150. 20); 149. 35 erecta; 151. 31 quam; 153. 6 C studio 
 teneamur; 154. 25 C wiorwrn; 155. 13C' esf tarn; \bb. 22 quid {quod f) est 
 istud (coni. Wesenberg); 155. 37 C vixit; 156. 7 cuique; 156. 10 C sapi- 
 enti; 158.3 C saepeprofectas; 158. 8 C rerum; 158. 16 C egwidem non 
 enim; 159. 2 Apollinis oraculo; 159. 31 turn; 159. 27 C diutius; 160. 2 
 discedit; 160. 25 multo melius (restored by Bennett from Erfurtensis); 
 161. 8 C habeat. 
 
 A study of these readings will show conclusively that C is 
 descended from an excellent source, and one free from many cor- 
 ruptions found even in the oldest MSS. A number of its corrup- 
 tions, as I said above, seem to be due to its own scribe, though a 
 few are manifestly of an older date; as, p. 131. 2 versatur pectore; 
 134. 27 non nobilis; 142. 15 sex Nestoris. 
 
 On p. 134. 27, has non nobilis, the nOn being in rasura. On 
 the margin, by C is igndbilis alias non nobilis j the non in this 
 case being superscribed by CI The MS doubtless read originally 
 ignobilis, with a variant nobilis by the same hand. The reading 
 nobilis is adopted by early editors, as, P. Baldvinus, Manutius, 
 Graevius, and others; it is said to be taken ex antiquis codd.; 
 but none of the MSS now used for the text of the De seneetute 
 seems to have this variant, nobilis was added, I think, by a scribe 
 who wished a word after Seriphius, in order to make the sentence 
 correspond to Atheniensis clarus in the following line, nobilis 
 was then misunderstood as going with Seriphius, and was conse- 
 quently changed to ignobilis in most of the MSS. Or, what is 
 less likely, nobilis may be the original reading, which, after being 
 changed to ignobilis in the MSS, was entirely omitted from the 
 
A New Mandsoeipt of Cioeko's De Senectute 293 
 
 text of a few as being evidently a gloss on Seriphius. nobilis, 
 however, may have arisen from an attempt to improve an earlier 
 ignobilis. 
 
 On p. 136. 37, C reads suasissem, G^ suasi. This latter read- 
 ing, so generally adopted from Forchhammer's conjecture, is pre- 
 sei-ved in no other MS. The word is superscribed above suasissem 
 by C and is itself quite legible; but the sign alias, used for 
 denoting readings of C^, is here indistinct and might perhaps be 
 taken for an abbreviation of vel, a sign which is also used by the 
 glossator. I have found infrequently in other places readings of 
 C^ quoted under the sign for vel. 
 
 On p. 155. 24, only P^ A^ H^ have the correct reading tu in; 
 all others having the easy corruption turn. C also preserves here 
 the correct reading. The words are clearly written and plainly 
 divided ; by no possibility could they be taken for turn. 
 
 The citation of a few readings will show that C, notwithstand- 
 ing its lateness, is not dependent for its text upon any MS or 
 group of MSS. . Of the better MSS, L P H A V, its readings 
 agree with those of P and H rather than L and A, and V rather than 
 either; and it sometimes agrees with the latter in preference to a 
 majority of all the MSS. The comparative agreements of C with 
 L A, PH, and V, might accurately be expressed by the increasing 
 ratio 5:6:7; as, 
 
 p. 146. 21 CPH tarn vs. LAV om. tarn 
 
 p. 147. 15 CPH crebro vs. LAV credo 
 
 p. 159. 3 CPH mihi persuasi vs. liAY persriasi mihi 
 
 p. 147. 2 CPHV quorsum vs. LA quorsus 
 
 p. 149. 10 CPHV atqui vs. LA atque 
 
 p. 143. 35 CPHV morbum vs. LA morborum 
 
 p. 150. 9 CPHV nonne ea vs. LA nonne 
 
 p. 151. 8 CLA natura vs. PHV om. natura 
 
 p. 137. 37 CLA multa vs. PHV multo (or om.) 
 
 p. 148. 14 CLAV libenter vero vs. PH ego vero 
 
 p. 156. 19 CLAV ante partorum vs. PH peractorum 
 
 p. 150. 3 CLAV requiem vs. PH requietem, 
 
 These instances exemplify the agreements of C with these MSS 
 arranged by classes. In reference to the individual MSS, C agrees 
 
294 George Reeves Theoop 
 
 with V, H, P, A, L, in the following descending ratio, 7:6:5:5:4; 
 it will also at times agree with one of them against the other 
 four; as, 
 
 p. 131. 1 CV adiuto vs. LAPH adiuvero 
 
 p. 145. 29 CV posset vs. LAPH possit 
 
 p. 156. 10 CV sapienti vs. LAPH sapientibus 
 
 p. 157. 26 CV eo vs. LAPH hoc {et, etc.) 
 
 p. 157. 27 CV gms vs. LAPH gm' 
 
 p. 158. 9 CV certa studia vs. LAPH studia certa 
 
 p. 159. 5 CH sententiae vs. LAPV scientiae 
 
 p. 151. 10 CH triumphqsset vs. LAPV triumphavisset 
 
 p. 143. 21 CH quae vs. LAPV quando or quoniam 
 
 p. 133. 14 CH consolatione vs. LAPV consolatio 
 
 p. 132. 5 CH mihi visum est vs. LAPV m. e. v. or v. e. m. 
 
 p. 149. 32 CP deinde vs. LAVH dein 
 
 p. 135. 23 CP fugerat vs. LAVH fuerat 
 
 p. 148. 11 CA neo vs. LVPH we 
 
 p. 147. 32 OA pauci iam vs. LVPH pauci 
 
 p. 133. 6 CA adepti vs. LVPH adeptam 
 
 p. 160. 25 CL quietatem vs. AVPH quietam 
 
 p. 136. 13 CL navalesque vs. AVPH navalesve 
 
 C agrees with H^ in a few very important readings; in some 
 of these they constitute the chief authority for the text. C agrees 
 with H'', in preference to H\ in at least four-fifths of the places 
 where readings of ff are cited. As, p. 137. 13 seniles; 142. 9 
 vivehat; 144. 22 nemini mancipata; 149. 35 erectaj 143. 6 parti 
 {parci) ; 145. 34 tamque pestiferum; 154. 25 morumj 153. 11 
 maiores nostrij 155. 13 est tarn; 136. 7 fruebar tunc; but C 
 agrees with H' instead of H' on p. 144. 34 omnibus [in) his, vs. 
 H* in his; also on p. 159. 5 O'H' sententiae, vs. CH^ scientiae. 
 
 In relation to the the reading nemini mancipata found on 
 p. 144. 22, 1 will here mention that a late fifteenth-century MS, des- 
 ignated as K, and contained in the Cornell University library, has 
 the following important reading: nemini emancipata. The same 
 MS has also on p. 155. 22, the equally important reading: quod 
 est istud. These readings, however, may be emendations of the 
 scribe. 
 
 In a few important readings C or C^ agrees with ERI or one 
 or more of them in preference to a majority of the other MSS.

 these, and at times radically disagrees from them all; as,

 C or C often furnishes readings which would be plausible 
 enough if supported by other MS authority. As worthy of notice, 
 I would cite:
