Provenance TypeManuscript Notes
Manuscript notesBrown ink early (16th c.?) Greek marginal inscriptions on all volumes, mostly structuring the text, occasionally commenting or correcting. Specifically, 124.f.10 (part I): structuring of the text (heavily trimmed) and occasional annotations in one or two texts towards the end of the volume; 124.F.14 (part IV/2): structuring the text (much closer to the textblock); 124.F.15 (part V): annotations in the first five pages. Volumes 124.F.11-13 (parts II-IV/1) do not show signs of manuscript notes, but it is likely that the structuring of the text, present in all other volumes, was completely trimmed out when the volumes were last rebound.
