Digitized by Microsoft® THE CODEX TURNEBI OF PLAUTUS Digitized by Microsoft® HENRY FROWDE, M.A. PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD LONDON, EDINBURGH, AND NEW YORK Digitized by Microsoft® THE CODEX TURNEBI OF PLAUTUS W. M. LINDSAY, M.A. FELLOW OF JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS Digitized by Microsoft® effort PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS BY HORACE HART, M.A. PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE Since the discovery of the Bodleian marginalia, which are here reproduced in collotype, three finds of lesser importance have thrown additional light on the Codex Turnebi : (i) in the Bibliotheque Rationale, a transcript of the Bodleian marginalia ; (2) in the Bodleian Library, Sealiger's copy of Plautus with the readings of his ' vetus codex ' ; (3) in the British Museum, the Burney MS. of Plautus, a transcript of which was used along with the Codex Turnebi by the compiler of the Bodleian marginal variants. The search for these documents and the following up of the clues they furnished has taken a good deal of time and trouble. But if the result has been to secure some measure of certainty in our knowledge of one of the three chief MSS. of Plautus, I shall be well satisfied. For the assistance received from friends and corre- spondents in France, Germany, and England I beg here to express my gratitude. Special thanks are due to Prof. Seyffert for his kindness in looking over the proof-sheets and for many valuable suggestions. W. M. LINDSAY. Oxford. Nov. 1897.
