- Description
-
- The oldest surviving manuscript of the commoner version of Euclid's
text, as edited by Theon of Alexandria in the 4th century AD. It
was bought for 14 gold coins (nomismata) by Arethas of Patrae
(bishop of Caesarea, 902-c. 939), who added many notes in his small
uncial hand. Arethas's note stating that the scribe Stephanos
finished the transcription in September AD 888 makes it the oldest
manuscript of a classical Greek author to carry a precise date.
Further notes were added from the 10th to the 14th centuries.
Former shelfmark: Auct. X. 1. inf. 2. 30.
