- Description

Summary: CCCC MS 231 contains six of the comedies of Terence (195-159 B.C.). It was written in the first half of the twelfth century in Germany. It seems to have been used by Richard Bentley for his edition of Terence's works and has been often referred to by subsequent scholars working on the text of the comedies. The manuscript was not owned by Matthew Parker, but probably came to the college from the book collection of Daniel Rogers (c. 1539-91), who presumably acquired it on his travels abroad.

Note: Quires 14, 15 are of a very different quality of vellum, but contemporary with the rest
Note: In the middle of f. 90r the text of Hecyra breaks off and a portion of Phormio, Act v, Sc. 7, intervenes, continuing to the end of f. 90v. With f. 91r Hecyra is resumed and ends on f. 92r

Note: There are some marginal scholia, in an exceedingly pretty round minuscule
Note: In a good many places the text has been re-written where the original ink had disappeared owing to the defective surface of the vellum
