IV. Manuscripts: The Second Family (V)
The second family, called V, includes a little more than twenty manuscripts, of which I
have selected sixteen for my edition. They are as follows:
Manuscripts in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (Milan)
α = Codex Ambrosianus O 74
sup., fifteenth century. A. Ceriani noted the readings of this manuscript for Schenkl,
then I collated the entire manuscript in 1908, and I inspected it again in
1909.
β = Codex Ambrosianus I 26
sup., fifteenth century. In 1909 I was the first to collate this manuscript, which was
entirely unknown to previous editors.
Then there are six Vatican manuscripts—namely Vaticanus 3152 and 2110, Urbinas 353,
Palatinus 1652, Reginensis 1759, Ottobonianus 1466—that I collated in 1908, then
inspected again in the following year. They are:

χ = Codex

Aside from the Codex Gaddianus (see above),
another five manuscripts survive in Florence. I collated them in 1908, and I examined
them again in 1909. They are:

Riccardianus 636, formerly L IIII 14. I am astonished that Schenkl reported that this manuscript is designated as codex 363, especially
since the scholar in charge of the Bibliotheca Riccardiana informed me that the
manuscript of which we speak has never been designated with the number 363. I would
not say any more about this unless Teuffel-Schwabe
(Geschichte der römischen Literatur 5th edition, p. 748 , Schanz (Geschichte der römischen
Literatur II.2, second edition, p. 74 , Skutsch (Calpurnius 119 RE 3:
1401ff. , and others, had not relied on Schenkl’s testimony and perpetuated the
mistake. Calpurnius’ bucolic poetry includes such a large number of corrections and
glosses added by various hands either in the verses themselves or in the margin that
the various hands cannot always be distinguished among themselves. But that is as much
as I will say, since I propose to discuss the annotations of Angeli elsewhere.
ζ = Codex
Riccardianus 974. Previous editors clearly did not know about this manuscript.
I have added three other manuscripts, namely Gothanus 55 (= θ) and the two Wratislavienses Rehdigerani, I.4.10 (= η) and I.4.11 (= δ), but I have
not inspected them personally.
The description of the codex Gothanus below is derived from Wernsdorf’s description. I.
G. Meusel collated the manuscript for Wernsdorf. The descriptions of η and δ are derived from the
descriptions in Glaeser’s edtion.
All of the manuscripts that I have assigned to the second family were copied from one
book, which I will call V, or from a copy of it. The common
origin of these manuscripts is attested not only by the omission or transposition of the
same verses and words, but also by the great number of interpolations and errors that
the other manuscripts lack entirely. But aside from these common faults, which were
transmitted from the archetype, the individual manuscripts have many other errors unique
to themselves. These books can be assigned to specific groups through careful
comparison. For that reason, I do not want to linger on this subject, but I will advise
that Riccadianus 724 and Vaticanus Reginensis 1759 are so similar to each other that you
would rightly come to the following conclusions: that they were copied from the same
book; that the Ottobonianus, Laurentianus pl. 37,14, the first Rehdigeranus (I.4.10),
the Gothanus, and the editio princeps descended from the same
copy of manuscript V on account of certain evidence; and finally
that Vaticanus Urbinas 353 and the editio Veneta in 1472 are
closely related by the tightest bonds of affinity. For the oldest editions are rightly
thought to be reproductions of manuscripts (cfr. Sabbadini, p. 213 n. 5); moreover, the editio Veneta was
printed before Fridericus de Veteranis transcribed the Codex Urbinas (cfr. Curcio, p. VIII). Finally, I add that I found the oldest
edition of Calpurnius and Nemesianus in the Bibliotheca Riccardiana, recorded by no
editor until now, place and year of publication unknown, currently bearing the number
498, which I can demonstrate by the strongest of arguments was copied from the
manuscript Laurentianus pl. 37,14 before that manuscript underwent the corrections of
the so-called second hand.
If any one should collate all of the manuscripts of this family with care, he would
easily know which readings are those of the archetype from which all of them originate,
and which are owed to the copyists of the individual manuscripts. And so now it remains
to compare V with N and G and to see what authority should be attributed to them.
First of all, both families, but more often V, are marred with
gaps in verses and words. Eleven verses are missing in V (Calp.
1.51, 7.32–34, 7.52–54, Nemes. 1.29, 2.83, 3.25, 3.30) and one verse has been made from
the two verses Calp. 2.18–19. On the other hand, Calp. 1.42 is missing in N and G, and the following words have been
omitted: Calp. 4.94 posito, 7.71 et, Nemes. 3.6 hanc pueri tamquam.
Moreover, in N
G Calpurnius 5.7 is placed before 5.6 and in V Calpurnius 5.67 is placed before 5.66. But since verses and supplied words
have been passed down from antiquity and cannot be attributed to interpolators, the
carelessness of copyists must not be blamed in these passages. But with regard to the
words (h)anc pueri tamquam, which were omitted in N
G even though there was space for them, the copyist, in my
opinion, deliberately omitted them because he did not understand the writing in the
archetype.
N
G and V differ in two hundred places or
even more, but the readings correctly preserved in N
G are almost two times greater than those in the second family.
Moreover, what is even more interesting, nearly all of the corruptions that blemish N
G are owed to the carelessness or ignorance of their copyists,
but V quite often underwent interpolations. For example, there is
no doubt that in N
G the following passages drew their flaws from either the
carelessness of a copyist or an abbreviation poorly understood: Calp. 1.28 tibi vili, 1.55 profuso,
2.14 affuerant, 2.23 hic, 2.80 numerat, 2.96 canale, 3.21 si, 3.36

Glosses have been received into the text in the following passages: Calp. 1.5 molliter, Nemes. 1.49 mortali, 2.42 vini, 1.51 uvas. Also, litora Nem.
2.22 comes from the same word placed at the beginning of the verse, and visus Calp. 7.84 comes from the preceding verse. There are
certainly some passages that you could trace back to an interpolator: Calp. 1.20
depicta, 1.24 altos,
1.25 codice, 1.87 a,
2.26 ibi, 4.82 canat,
4.152 olim-decurrent, 6.52 illa, 6.78 provocat ille, 7.6 in umbra, Nemes. 2.20 atque, 4.39 subeunt(e), but, from the
perspective of the archetype, I would attribute even these passages, with one or two
exceptions, to the ignorance or carelessness of a copyist.
The same cannot be said about the archetype of the second family; indeed, things could
not be more different. To say nothing of glosses received into the text, or words moved
either because of the scribes’ mistake or judgment (cfr. Calp. 1.8–9, 2.4, 2.73, 3.74,
3.88, 4.76, 4.83, 7.83, Nemes. 1.72, 2.1, 2.23, 2.33, 2.40, 2.47, 2.76, 4.54), and other
faults that you could explain in various ways, I have detected the following in
particular in it, and it detracts greatly from its authority. I refer to a great
abundance of interpolations that have arisen only out of a passion for making changes.
And, just to dismiss the several passages that others have ascribed to the carelessness
of copyists, there is no reason to doubt that the readings marshalled here are owed to
an interpolator: Calp. 1.45 lusit, 1.64 revocet, 1.78 placidum or
placidam radianti, 2.5 ulmos, 2.32 spargit, 2.65 fundere, 2.67 fore or

1–36ʳ contain Cato’s De Agricultura; 20–101ʳ,
Varro’s De Re Rustica; 101ʳ–115ᵛ, the
Bucolica of Calpurnius and Nemesianus.
The individual poems lack titles, but they are separated from each other by
brief spaces. The following subscription appears at the end of the whole work:
Aureliani Nemesiani Cartag̅ bucol’ explicit:
Deo gratias amen. Finally, another more recent hand, as Bursian and Schenkl
recognized, wrote Calpurnii eclogae and Nemesiani eclogae. The remaining leaves are blank.
Parchment: 261 × 160 mm.: 116 leaves: 38 verses per page.
With respect to correcting hands, two in particular stand out:
N1
belongs to the original copyist. See above for a detailed description of this hand’s activity.
N2: The
manuscript was corrected again around the same time, but here and there the
second hand cannot easily be distinguished from the first.
N3: a
third hand’s emendations can be discerned in only a few places.
The manuscript was written at about the beginning of the fifteenth century.
We know nothing about the origin and provenance of this manuscript except
what is understood from the following passages written on the last leaf:
Joannes Antonius Perillus patric. neap. ac iuvenis
apprime litteratus Jacobum Perillum hoc libro donavit MDCVII, Klis
Juniis (“Joannes Antonius Perillus, a nobleman of Naples and most
learned gentleman, gave this book to Jacob Perillus in 1667 on the first of
June”), and a little below, Antonii Seripandi ex Jacobi
Perilli amici opt. munere (“This book belongs to Antonius
Seripandus, received as a gift from his best friend Jacob Perillus”). Later it
was brought to the library of San Giovanni a Carbonara, and from there it came
to the greatest library in Naples, formerly known as the Reale
biblioteca borbonica, (now the Biblioteca nazionale Vittorio Emanuele
III).

It contains the twelve eclogues of Francesco Petrarch (ff. 1–44), the
Culex of Vergilius Maro, the
Dirae of Vergilius Maro (ff. 52–55), and
Calpurnius and Nemesianus (ff. 55–74). A very brief, unattributed eclogue
follows with the interlocutors Daphnis, Tityrus, Mopsus, and Meliboeus.
The following inscription has been added to the eclogues of Calpurnius: Egloge Calfurnii ad nemesianum cartaginiensem.
(The Eclogues of Calfurnius to Nemesianus of Carthage).
Nemesianus follows Calpurnius with the following title prefixed: Aureliani nemesiani cartaginiensis egloghe incipiunt
(Here begin the eclogues of Aurelianus Nemesianus of Carthage).
At the end of each eclogue there appears an explicit with
the number of each eclogue, but Calpurnius’ sixth eclogue lacks a subscription,
and the following is written at the end of the seventh: explicit sexta egloga Calphurnii (Here ends the sixth eclogue
of Calphurnius). This is explained by the fact that the seventh
eclogue follows the sixth without any break, with the result that only six
eclogues are attributed to Calpurnius in this manuscript. But in the margin,
where the sixth eclogue ought to end, the copyist has added the following:
aliqui volunt dicere quod ista sit alia et diversa
egloga ubi incipit “lentus," aliqui dicunt quod est una etc.
(Some wish to say that the eclogue that begins lentus is a completely different eclogue; others say that it is the
same, etc.).
Paper: 294 × 225 mm.: 74 leaves. Individual pages generally have 29 verses,
but some vary, with the shorter ones having 26 and the longer ones haveing 32
verses.
G1: The
copyist himself added almost all of the corrections either by removing scribal
errors in the verses or adding variant readings to the margin. See above for a more detailed description of this
hand’s activity.
G2: Some
corrections seem to have been made by another hand.
