CHAPTER I GENERAL INTRODUCTION The starting point of the present paper is to be found in the eonoluding remarks made in two studies which dead, with examples of the florilegium edition of Symmaehus1 let­ ters.

It is therein suggested that further study of the

florilegium text tradition be undertaken in an attempt to determine the relationship of the various florilegium manu­ scripts to one another and to ascertain the value of this tradition in Improving the text of those letters which are preserved by the florilegium family of manuscripts. Professor Dunlap In discussing the Michigan manuscript states In conclusion, it may be said that the Flori­ legium manusorlpts appear to be worthy of much more serious consideration than Seeck gave them. They require further study with a view to deter­ mining their relationship and reappraising their value, and the results of this new appraisal, to­ gether with the additional evidence which the Michigan manuscript is yielding, may make d e a r the necessity of a new edition of the letters of Symmaehus Miss Dorman, who worked with the Chicago manuscript, 1.

concludes This study, then, brings to light an earlier and more valuable member of the family than any used by Seeck in compiling his edition of Symmaehus1 Letters It offers valuable support for readings hitherto regarded as conjectures by the early editors and for other conjectures of Seeok himself and some interesting new readings* It indloates a closer and more complex connection between the Florilegium tradition and that of the complete manuscripts than has hitherto been as­ sumed; it gives new significance to the evidence already afforded by oertain members of the Flori­ legium family* These conclusions point to the neoesslty of a new appraisal of this group, leading possibly to a new edition of the Letters of Symmaehus*1 The purpose of the present work, then, is twofold: first, to establish the relationship of the available florilegium manuscripts and, second, through Intensive study of a selected portion of the entire text, to determine the relative value of the Florilegium in improving the text of the ten books of letters as constituted by Otto Seeck in his edi­ tion of 1883* A double assumption underlies the present work:

first,

that the florilegium archetype was of uniform quality through­ out, and, second, that the florilegium manuscripts collec­ tively have preserved all portions of the archetype equally well or ill*

On this basis, we are. Justified in assuming

that findings based on Just a single book of the entire dec­ ade will reflect with a high degree of fidelity the relative 1* Olivia Nelson Dorman, "A Further Study of the Let­ ters of Symmaehus, based on a New Manuscript of the Flori­ legium Group* SzaBflaflSAttBfl.

merit of the entire florilegium edition* The ohoioe of Book I as the unit of the florilegium text to be studied was dictated by the fact that this Is the only portion of the text which, In part at least, all the manu­ scripts have in common*

The Pavia manuscript (p) contains

only I 28-11 68 (through circa Ifc), and the 0t* John manusoript (j.) omits the section from I 91 (ends with lltterls paraa [varle’]) through V 34 (begins with cuas etlam nunc)* Various other manuscripts omit I 1-25, 28, 33, and 56, which means that, If we are to consider only complete letters given by all the available manuscripts, our study will be based on the twenty-five letters of I 31, 32 , 34-47 , 60-90 which the florilegium edition contains*

Occasionally, however, in order

to employ all the information available concerning certain manuscripts, the entire first book will be considered* In addition to the 17 Independent manuscript copies of the florilegium which have not been directly oopled from any extant manuscript, this paper will employ as evidence the readings of the edltlo prlnoens.l

This is the work of which

Seeok wrote "edltionem Venetam neque ipse vldl neque quemquam novi, qui earn vlderit...,1,2 but its identity has been 1* Of* pp* 17-27 for individual descriptions of these manuscripts and of the edltlo nrlnoapg* 2* Otto Beeok, "Q-* Aurelil Symmachi quae supersunt,” gflflUgvntft &*>TnMnla " his tori ca. auotores antlqulsslmi.

4 established by Professor Dunlap,1 and a copy has been avail­ able for study In the University of Michigan Library* No m o d e m editor has employed the evidence of this valu­ able witness in establishing the text of Symmaehus, although it was used by luretus in his edition of 1604,^ therefore, it has seemed advisable to admit it to evidence and to regard it as having the authority of another independent copy of the florilegium*

When, therefore, mention is made, for example,

of the readings of the N18 manuscripts," it should be under­ stood that accuracy has been sacrificed for the sake of brev­ ity and that the edltlo princeps has been counted as one of the 18, since, presumably, it represents a florilegium manu­ script* The Michigan manuscript and the edltlo princeps have been available for direct study through the oourtesy of the University of Michigan Library*

witnesses have been studied through photostatic reproductions* The readings of £ and

CHAPTER II SEECK1 »S USE 07 THE FLORILEQ-IUM MANUSCRIPTS IN ESTABLISHING THE TEXT OF THE LETTERS OF SYMMAOHUS Shortly after the death of Quintus Aurelius Symmaehus In 402 A.D* his letters were oolleoted and published by his son, Quintus Fabius Memmius Symmaohus• The extant eolleetion of 948 letters^* has oome down to us in two forms*

first, as a more or less complete collec­

tion of all the letters and, second, in the form of a flori­ legium* The best representatives of the first form are Parisinus 8623 (£) of the ninth century and, a poor second, Vatioanus Palatinus 1576 (V) of the eleventh century, the authorities on whloh Otto Seech placed great reliance in hie edition of the works of Symmaohus in 1883* Of considerably less importance, in Seeck1s estimation, are the many copies of the florilegium*

After describing £

and £, he continues as follows: Codlolbus, quoa desoripsimus. multo peior est ea famllla, quae florilegium (F) ex lltteris Symmaohlanis oontinens in exemplaribus plus minus abbrevlatis aut trunoatis per omnes paene bibllotheoas 1* This is the number as given in Seeok1s edition of 1883* There appear to be 949 letters, but through error Seeok omits V 26 in his numbering* 6

maiorss dispersa reperitur.••/••.Haec eodioum famllla omni interpolationum genere ihcredibilem in medum sestet neque ullius usus est, ubl 11brorum Parislni et Palatini subsidlis utl licet *■*• In fact, however, ae Professor Dunlap points out, both the value of the florilegium edition and Seech1s use of it are greater than these words tend to show* Seeck1s estimate of the value of the Florilegium manuscripts has been quoted, but they are not quite so worthless or unimportant as his words might lead one to believe* The present text of the letters of Symmaehus is based very largely on P, Y, and the Florilegium. There are, more­ over, 66 letters In the Florilegium which are found neither in P nor in Y; there are 112 let­ ters in both P and the Florilegium. but not in Y; there are 27 letters in both Y and the Flori­ legium r but not in P* Obviously, the importance of the Florilegium in reference to the text of these 205 letterscannot be overlooked* Further­ more, though Seeok has said that the Florilegium is of no use where the evidence of P and Y is available, he has himself taken into his text, in direct opposition to the evidence of P and Y, or of one of them in the absence of the other, no less than twenty readings in the first twentyfive pages of his edition* When it is con­ sidered that the F7gy»iifgfr\yp contains only about half of the letters on these pages, the number of good readings which it has supplied assumes some importance*** In view of these facts, it seems important to know to what extent Seeok employed the evidence of the 18 extant florilegium manuscripts in determining the F readings which he uses in establishing his text* 1*

9 Nowhere does &eeek state what manuscripts he employed In determining the reading of the Flori­ legium archetype* In the critical apparatus of Boohs vlll-x, where the readings of the Flori­ legium are of the greatest importance, he records the variants from three sources* These are: F1 ... Fz ...and F®.,.If Seeok considered these three sources sufficient in passages where the Florli «cM»m forms the sole basis of the text, it is quite unlikely that he employed other sources when reconstructing the Florilegium archetype for the purpose of mere illustration. It is there­ fore reasonable to assume that this archetype reading. F, has been obtained by conparlson of F1 , F2, and F® only...1 Thus, although Seeok acknowledges the existence of an unspecifledly large number of florilegium manuscripts,^ it appears that in fact he confined his attention to fewer than one-quarter of them.

The findings with regard to two of the

neglected manuscripts which are set forth in the Dunlap and Dorman articles® would seem to indicate that this neglect was both unwarranted and unwise.

CHAPTER III PROBLEM ONES

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE

FLORILEOIUM MANUSCRIPTS L*. Introductions

The Problem and the Method of Solution

The first task with which we are faced Is that of deter­ mining the relationship of the eighteen1 manuscripts of the florilegium edition of Symmaohus* letters* The solution of the problem lies, of course, In a study of the manuscripts themselves, both of their external fea­ tures, such as contents and arrangement, and of the actual text of the letters, and in a grouping of the manusorlpts Into families and smaller sub-groups on the basis of the similarities and differences revealed by that study* More specifically, the steps to be followed in arriving at a solution o f the problem are those listed below: I.

Study the contents and arrangement of the various manusorlpts and classify them tentatively on the basis of the similarities and differences revealed

1* There are, in faot, at least nineteen extant copies of the florilegium (eighteen manusorlpts and the edltlo t>rln£&££, the only one of the printed copies considered in the present paper), but codex Digbelanus 209 in the Bodleian col­ lection is a direct copy of ft, Bodlelanus Auot* F* I. 8— as is indicated by the faot that its rather miscellaneous con­ tents are precisely the same as those of ft, which is itself a combination of three entirely dlstinot manuscripts— and may therefore be omitted from further consideration*

10

by this study* Try to substantiate or refute this classifieation on the basis of the internal evidence of the manu­ scripts* 1*

Oollate Booh 1, the sample section of the en­ tire text with which this paper will be chiefly concerned*

2*

Considering only those letters of Book I which are contained in all the manuscripts (i*e*, 31, 32, 34, 36-38, 43, 45-47, 60, 61, 67, 74-77, 79, 80, 82-84, 86, 88, 90), collect all the errors given by any two or more manuscripts, excluding those errors which all of the florilegium manu­ scripts preserve and which presumably represent the reading of the florilegium archetype.

3*

On the basis of the relationships revealed through the presence of common errors, draw up a stemma fifldlsss*

4*

Since three manuscripts, a l E . present I 1-25 as a distinct unit (& has it in the normal order but in a hand different from that in which the letters following these are written, whereas X and £ add it after the other letters) and since there is, therefore, the possibility that the text of these letters in any given manuscript is not derived from the same parent manuscript as the remainder of that oodex, consider this

portion of the text In those manuscripts which contain it Carm £ two letters only and from a study of common errors, determine what variation, if any, there is in the rela­ tionship of the manuscripts in regard to this portion of Book I* Modify the «t«mma to include the additional in­ formation furnished by the study Just mentioned*

Sttt External BvlAtRfig. 2? Shft MMfflggrlPta Introduction

She following pages deal with the external evidence fur­ nished by the eighteen manuscripts of the florilegium/ >which will serve as a basis for their initial classification into related family groups* First, for purposes of reference, is given a list of what we may term the normal florilegium contents, that is, a list1 of the contents of the most nearly complete flori­ legium manuscripts* Then comes a list of the manusorlpts with names, dates, and identifying sigla. This is followed by individual descriptions of the con* tents and arrangement of the eighteen manuscripts under con­ sideration, arranged alphabetically according to the sigla which serve to identify them* The section ooneludes with a summary of the significant external evidence, the division of the manusorlpts into two groups on the basis of this evidenoe, and a discussion of the evidence which seems conflicting or inconclusive*

17 Description of the Contents and Arrangement of the Florilegium Manusorlpts Note: No letter appears twice In a single manuscript, unless speelflo statement Is made to the contrary., When, therefore, a letter Is described as appearing out of the normal order, it should be understood that it does not appear also In its customary position. In every manuscript, some letters are inoorreetly Joined or divided— that is, two or more letters are written continu­ ously to form a single letter or one letter is split up into two or more. This is true of every manuscript, whether or not the description makes specific note of it. If no statement is made to the contrary, the arrangement and contents of any manuscript are those presented on page 14SI. This is particularly important with reference to the posi­ tion of Relatie 11, IX 142, and X 2. At the end of each manuscript description, a brief state­ ment is made concerning the titles and/or descriptions which appear in that manuscript. By "title" is meant the introduc­ tory phrase which gives the writer's and recipient's’names, such as "Symmaehus Patrl." "Description" refers to the brief descriptive titles at the beginning of some letters which specify the nature of the letter following or its subject matter, as "Invltatorla ad scribendum." & Bodleian There is no variation (except for occasional incorrect combination or division of letters) through VIII 49.

Then

ginning of the second section has been permitted to stand,

even though it is so clearly out of place. The type is uniform throughout both sections except for 47v and 48r (containing the end of X 2 and IV 56-58) where it is considerably smaller, presumably to permit the inser­ tion of extra material* Descriptions are given for I 31-end of first section. There are titles for 1 6 , 5, 23, 25, 14 in the second section there are incorrect titles for III 11 and 13 (i.e., addressed to Ausonius), but none for III 15-22 or VI 13-VII 67, which are also in the second section.

Descriptive titles appear

with VII 47, 151, 54, and 56. St. Gall This manuscript begins with IX 142 and continues, with a few incorrect Joinings, through VII 117 (through iam orldem morarls)t I 28-11 8 (through atigft lfigfiism) follow.

These are the only variants, except for the usual

lnoorreot division and Joining of letters* Several facts indicate that the first and second parts were originally completely independent of each other:

the

texts of the two parts are in different hands; the initials are in different hands; the letters in the first section are numbered, with the numbers each made a part of the respec­ tive initial, and those in the second are not; and the por­ tion of the page which the text fills is smaller in the second section than in the first*

The text of the third sec­

tion is in a third hand, but the initials are in the same hand as those in part two*

Borne of these letters are numbered

in a style Imitative of, but not identical with the style of the first section*

Seeok makes no comment, in his brief

description of the manuscripts, on this division in the manu­ script and on this variety of hands and evidently assumes that the text tradition is uniform throughout the manuscript*

Evidence of the Titles of Address and Descriptions The presence or absence of titles at the beginning of certain letters in the various manuscripts appears to be of relatively little importance or assistance in establishing the relationships of the manuscripts. In some cases they appear to be the work of the original scribe; in others, they are obviously later additions, but whether they appeared in the manuscript from which the text of the letters was taken or are the results of conflation from another manuscript cannot be determined.

Presumably,

however, a title which is written in the margin in a hand dif­ ferent from that of the text, and for which no provision was made by the original scribe as he spaced the Initial capital and the text on the page, did not appear in the manuscript from which the text was copied. The Information concerning titles of addresses and de­ scriptive titles which was given earlier for each manuscript is summarized below.

The Roman numerals represent the books

(as Seeok gives them) and the arable number following each indicates the number of letters in that book for which the manuscript concerned supplies titles.

The use of brackets in­

dicates that the titles are not in the original hand and can­ not, therefore, be of any use in establishing manuscript re­ lationship. The term "Desc." is used of manuscripts in which de­ scriptions of the contents of some of the letters are given

In the margin next to those letters*

Since, however, the

descriptions are not Identical in any two manuscripts, we must conclude that they were inserted independently and do not indicate relationship* A

Since, except for the vestigial retention of a single title in Book VIII of

the use of titles of address in the

florlleglum manuscripts is confined to Just three books of the entire decade, it appears that the florlleglum archetype which was the immediate ancestor of the extant florlleglum manuscripts, excepting &, contained titles in Books I, V, and VII only*

Manuscript £ seems, however, to reflect a somewhat

different tradition* The complete absence of titles in the original hand in certain manuscripts is not a sure indication of relationship between those manuscripts, as omissions in the text of the letters themselves would be, for even a careful scribe, ob­ serving the fragmentary nature of the titles in the manuscript from which he was working, might prefer to omit them all

30 rather than produce a similarly lncomplete-appearlng manuscript. On the other hand, presumably, the presence of titles points to an earlier stage in the manuscript tradition and may be an indication of age, although not necessarily of quality* In brief, the fact that a manuscript oontains titles written in the hand of the original scribe may be a sign that the text of the letters in that manuscript is relatively close to that of the archetype, but, since none of the 18 manuscripts is a direct descendant of any other in the group, as is proved by the existence of unique lacunae in eaoh manu­ script, the presence or absence of titles offers no signifi­ cant clue to the relationship of the manuscripts, although the retention by d. of the single title in Book VIII suggests that its lineage may differ somewhat from that of the other manuscripts*

Aberrant Group I manuscripts

11 12 13 14

15 In general, as may be seen from the tables above, the manuscripts appear to divide into two groups, consisting of armdgonlnE and iMcgabw respectively*

That some of the

evidence Is conflicting or, at beet, inconclusive is, however, indicated by the right-hand portions of the tables.

Here are

listed those manuscripts which, although allied with one group of manuscripts by the greater weight of evidence, in some single respect seem related to manusorlpts of the other group. The conflicting or inconclusive evidence is the follow­ ing: 1.

a has I 33 between 1 32 and 34 (Group I characteristic) but does not have Rel. 11-X 2 between IV 64 and 56 (as do the other Group I manusorlpts with the exception of X)«

Since the manuscript ends with VI 55, we can­

not know whether it belongs with Group II in so far as the position of Rel. 11-X 2 is concerned. 2.

X has Z 33 between I 32 and 34 (Group I characteristic), but Rel. 11—X 2 are between VII 99 and 102 (Group II oharaoteristle)•

Before we ean proceed with our attempt to substantiate the groupings suggested above through a study of the Internal evidence furnished by errors oommon to two or more menu* scripts, we must rationalize the apparently conflicting In­ formation which our study of the external features of the manusorlpts has furnished, considering eaoh of the six pre­ ceding statements in order. 1.

See ok In describing the Montpellier manuscript-1- considered

It singular, and Its hybrid nature certainly justifies use of the term.

How was £ written?

Presumably the possessor of a

copy of the florlleglum edition had the opportunity to com­ plete his collection of Symmachus1 letters by supplementing from a more nearly complete edition, itself a sort of florllegium since it contained many, but not all, of the letters from I 1—VII 115 (through ludlcavl) In the normal order, with a text resembling that of V, as Seeck tells us.^

Using his

florlleglum copy as a check list, the scribe copied out the letters which he did not already have, erring only when he re­ copied IV 25, 26, 50 whioh the florlleglum Itself contained. 1.

Seeok, pp. olt., pp. xxx-xxxl.

2*

Ibid., p. xxx.

The florlleglum manuscript from whloh

vas derived must have

had I 33 In the normal position, else It would appear In the prefatory supplement and not where It does*

We may therefore

conclude that this portion of the florlleglum copy originally presented a text similar to that of the Group I manuscripts* If the longer manuscript actually contained all the letters preserved In the florlleglum plus the many additional ones, It Is conceivable that Rel* 11-X 2 were In the florlleglum copy between IV 54 and 56 and were deleted by the scribe as not genuine from comparison with the longer manuscript which, presumably, did not have them*

This supposition, however,

which would permit the entire florlleglum section of £ to be assigned to Group I, rests upon two assumptions which are in­ capable of proof*

It seems more judicious to assume— as is

probable— that the copy of the florlleglum from which the scribe of £ or, more probably, of jg's immediate ancestor1 worked was itself a hybrid with characteristics of both groups*

In addition, It is extremely probable that the text

of 0 was further contaminated from the longer manuscript whloh the scribe used In preparing his prefatory supplement and that examination will show It to be conflated beyond rec­ ognition*

Since, therefore, the thread which Joins ffl to the

1* We must assume that the Montpellier manuscript Is a copy of the combined prefatory supplement and florlleglum Just described, since there Is no line of demarcation between the first portion of the text and the second* Instead, let­ ter I 6 follows VII 115 In the middle of a column with no change In hand* Whether m is the copy of a non-extant hybrid manuscript or is itself tne original hybrid, which is ex­ tremely unlikely, affects the argument not a whit, however*

30 Group I manuscripts Is a single tenuous strand, Its placement with either group will depend upon the Internal evidence which the study of the text will provide* 2*

£, the Paris manusoript, Is actually In three sections,

I 28— III 71 (through anlmo meo. r.g.g.lprega), V 55 (from lngenlum auem)-X 141, I 1—25, each In a different hand (although Seech In his description makes no mention of this fact*)

It Is ex­

tremely probable, as Seech1s study^ tends to show, that the end of the text (the second section) was derived from a manu­ script similar to those of Group II*

The outward similarity

of the second and third sections and the striking differences between the first and second sections2 suggest that the first section may follow one tradition and the second and third, another— a view which £'s possession of both Group 1 and Group II characteristics obviously supports* 1* Of. pp* xxlx-xxx where the affinity between F2 and F3 (£ and £ respectively In this paper) Is established* Professor Dunlap's mild criticism of Seech1s findings would seem to Invalidate them* He states, "It Is somewhat surprising, however, to observe that Seech considered F 2 and more closely related to one another theui to F1 , for If the evidence of Table I Is valid, It certainly Indicates that F& and F3 do not belong to the same branch of the tradition*" (Dunlap, "The Manuscripts of the Florlleglum of the Letters of Symmachus," o p * £l£.., p* 396). Dunlap's Table I, however, Is based on evidence concerned with pp* 10-37 In Seech*s edition (Booh I), wherein It Is true, as the later study of Internal evidence will show, that F* (l.e*, £) Is not related to the branch which F 3 (£) repre­ sents, whereas Seeoh's findings are concerned with pp* 153— 223 (Boohs VI-VIII). Thus the conclusions of both scholars, though apparently contradictory, actually are quite possible and are further reinforced by the external evidence which £ furnishes* 2*

A careful scrutiny.of A reveals the fact that It too Is

In three sections, I 1-25, I 28-mld. V 60, mid. V 60-end of codex, each In a different hand, the first and third being very similar.

The fact that £ has Qroup I characteristics In

the second portion and Qroup II characteristics In the third, that there Is a striking similarity between & and | Ja, a Qroup II manuscript, In a portion of the first section,^ and that the second section has frequent corrections In the third hand leads to a similar view concerning this manuscript:

the

first and third sections follow the Qroup II tradition and the second, the Qroup I tradition. 4. 5. 6.

No actual discrepancies are Involved In the above state— ments concerning J., p, and dg.

The external evidence on

the basis of which these four manuscripts have been assigned to Qroup I or II Is valid, although It may seem inconclusive. Recourse to a consideration of the internal evidence which they present should substantiate or refute this classifica­ tion conclusively. One more point of external similarity exists to suggest kinship between two manuscripts.

The arrangement of the sec­

ond poem in I 1 (p. 2, 11. 6-19 in Seeck) indicates a close relationship between a and X» a‘b least in this portion of the text.

In both manuscripts the poem has an intertwined line

order (6, 14, 7, 15...18, 12, 19) with one line (13) omitted entirely, and in both the correct order Is Indicated by 1*

yide infra.

38 suprasorlbed letters of the alphabet. can readily be imagined*

The eause of the error

The poem had presumably been written

in double columns in the parent manuscript, and the careless copyist had combined them into one by copying from margin to margin instead of talcing one column at a time*

The fact of

the duplication of error in the two manusorlpts and especially of the double omission of an entire line points to a strong similarity in the texts of & and J,*

This is strikingly

demonstrated in the collation of Book I, wherein & is shown to belong with Group II (specifically with Ivw and, to a lesser extent, with &) in letters 1-25, and with Group I in the remainder of the book.*1

2&Z Internal Evidence a t BqqX £

at Sha. M»pwgggiBtja Introduction

On the basis of the external features which they share, we have been able to determine that the 18 florlleglum manu­ scripts fall into two main groups, viz*: Group II:

J2&fi£k25£*

Group I:

aronloEdg:

The problem of £ ss position in the

grouping Is still to be solved. We turn now to a consideration of the internal evidence presented by the manuscripts.

From a study of common errors,

we shall be able to check the accuracy of this initial divi­ sion, to subdivide into smaller groups of related manuscripts, and to determine the relative merit of the various manu­ scripts in preserving the original text. Those twenty-five letters of the first book which all 18 of the manuscripts give provide the material for our study. They are I 51, 32, 34, 36-38, 43, 46-47, 60, 61, 67, 74-77, 79, 80, 82-84, 86, 88, 90. Unfortunately, the errors shared by various manuscripts are not particularly significant.

There are no large lacunae,

no striking disarrangements of the text which would serve im­ mediately to set apart smaller sub-groups of manuscripts, ex­ cept for an omission of twelve words (p. 37, 11-12 elua... testimonium) which indicates the relationship of aronlnE. one of eleven words (p. 39, 13—14 vereor.-.adnltl) which groups mhk together, and another of two words (p. 19, 4 gllaoet

obllvlo) which links Jak*

Therefore, the entire list of er­

rors, even relatively minor ones, must be considered in es­ tablishing the relationship of the various sub-groups* The following pages give an explanation of the term "error” as it is employed in this paper and the list of common errors to be found in the twenty—five letters speci­ fied on.page 99.

41 Types of Errors Considered in Establishing the Relationship of the Florlleglum Manuscripts For purposes of establishing the relationship between manuscripts, errors are considered to be of the following typesl 1.

Errors of addition of

one or more words to the

basic text as provided by

the textus recentus:

2.

one or more words from the

Errors of omission of

basic text; 3.

Errors involving the substitution of a word or

words for one or more words of the textus receptus: 4.

Errors in the relative position of two or more

words, changes in the word order as given by the basic text* 5*

Errors involving a change in the form (case,

num­

ber, tense, person, voice, etc.) of a word or words, except where the change might be due to a very simple orthographical error. 6.

Other errors in orthography, except the familiar

and insignificant variants. When all the florlleglum manuscripts agree in a reading different from that of the textus recentus. it is considered to represent a departure of the florileglum archetype from the basic text and is not recorded.

42 Study of I 31, 32, 34-47, 60-90 of the Florlleglum Edition List I Agreement In Error by Two or More Manusorlpts In I 31, 32, 34. 36-38, 43, 45-47, 60, 61, 67, 74-77, 79, 80, 82-84, 86, 88, 90 Note: Vhen all the florlleglum manuscripts agree In a read­ ing different from that of the textus reoeptus. It Is con­ sidered to represent a departure of the florlleglum arche­ type from the baslo text and Is not recorded* For the sake of convenience, the slala of the manuscripts whloh share each error are repeated In the left margin* I 31 armdgonlpE Jhkscvw

The data given on the preceding pages have been summar­ ized in two forms.

The first, Table I, Indicates the number

of times any particular combination of manuscripts presents a common error.

From the frequency with which certain manu­

script combinations are in agreement, some relationships are quite obvious.

There are, however, many unique groupings

57 that may or may not be significant, depending on the source or origin of the error shared by the manuscripts of each group*

Consequently, rather than try to make a stemma which

would reflect all these groupings— clearly an Impossible task--, it has seemed more Judicious to tabulate the data in a second form, this time to indicate the number of times any two manuscripts present the same error, either alone or in combination with other manuscripts, and to use this second table, as well as the list of groups, as the basis of the stemma codlcum*

The entries In Table I show how often a particular pair or group of manuscripts agree in a common error*

For ease in

interpreting, this Information has been arranged to show how often various Group I manuscripts are in agreement with each other, how often Group II manuscripts agree in error, the number of times

agrees with manuscripts of either group,

and the frequency with which manuscripts of both groups agree with one another and also, occasionally, with ffl* From this table, certain relationships are strikingly obvious*

aronlnE. h k . .1vw. and ihkanhviy; for example, must

each represent a sub-group of related manuscripts, but what of the many groups of manuscripts whose apparent relationship is indicated by the common possession of just one error? Since the errors Joining them are generally of a very simple nature and could in many cases very conceivably have arisen Independently, how significant are they?

When should they be

considered, when Ignored? These questions cannot be answered, except in purely ar­ bitrary fashion* the problem*

Table II, however, provides a solution to

The figures on this page indicate the number of

times any two of the eighteen manuscripts agree in an error* A high rate of agreement indicates a close relationship and, conversely, a low rate of agreement shows that the manu­ scripts are not related, except in that both derive from a common ultimate archetype*

When the frequency of agreement

is very low, the fact that there is any agreement at all may, in general, be explained away on the grounds of chance, the

same error arising Independently In two or more manuscripts through carelessness, confusion, conjecture, or, possibly, conflation*

This table, however, especially in conjunction

with Table I, serves to Indicate the pattern of manuscript relationships which the stemma codlcum is designed to reflect* First we observe the division of the manuscripts into definite groups, ardeonlpE and mlhkgnbre.

Manuscript &, how­

ever, retains its position with the first group by only a very narrow margin, since its rate of agreement with the Group I manuscripts is only slightly higher than that with the Group II manuscripts*

This seems to indicate some confla­

tion from a Group II-type manuscript* On the other hand, ja appears to be closer to the Group II manuscripts than to those in Group I, or at least to the sub-group aronlp r but the signs of conflation are rather strong as we should have expected from our earlier study of the external features of this manuscript*^ Their high rates of agreement (121, 79, 78, and 66 re­ spectively) show the close relationship of Manuscript

is closely related to sa* as ls -1 t*0

Manu­

scripts ronlp also form a closely related group, with ja often and JJ somewhat less frequently sharing common errors with them.

Manuscript g is a member of Group I but is not notice­

ably more closely attached to any one manuscript than to the rest*

Manuscript £, in the other group, appears less closely 1*

Of* p p • 34—36*

linked to

than to the other manuscripts.

Similarly all

the other manuscripts of this family individually are least closely related to

and only a little less distant from jj.

The fact that there appears to he some degree of agree­ ment between every two manuscripts, no matter which family group each belongs to, which errors have

is due to the all-inclusive way in

been listed.

For example,

even when only

one manuscript gives the reading of the textus r e c e n t u s . the reading of all the other manuscripts has been listed as an error and counted

as a sign of relationship between the many

manuscripts which

give it.

Whether the unique reading of the one manuscript has been preserved by continuous tradition from its original source or is due to chance,

clever conjecture, or conflation,

is a matter of relatively little consequence in this connec­ tion.

If all the other manuscripts present a common reading,

the number of agreements of each with the others is increased equally, and the general preponderance of agreement is not affected.

If, however,

they do not have a common reading but

present several readings,

each of which is supported by two

or more manuscripts, the number of agreements will be unequally affected, and the inequality in the total numbers of common incorrect readings provides the basis for the classification of the several manuscripts into related groups. Thus, unless the same manuscript repeatedly stands alone in support of the textus recentus r the figures indicating total numbers of agreements will not be affected markedly,

even if the unique agreements should be due to chance and, therefore, not be representative of the ultimate florilegium archetype*

On the other hand, if the same manuscript does

agree frequently with the textus receptus against the other florilegium manuscripts, then the mere fact of this frequency of agreement is argument against the likelihood that the agree ments are generally due to chance* In this connection, the following question may logically arise:

when the reading of the textus receptus. which in

general is based on P and V, has the support of only one or very few of the florilegium manuscripts, how can the presence of this reading in so few manuscripts be explained? The possible answers have been suggested above, but may be stated more fully as follows: 1*

The unique reading of a florilegium manuscript in

agreement with P and/or V may be the correct reading of the author's original transmitted directly from the ultimate common archetype, and the readings of the other florilegium manuscripts may, despite their impressive unanimity, all be wrong* 2.

The fact that only one or a few florilegium manu­

scripts agree with the textus receptus may be due to conjec­ ture or chance.

Particularly in oases wherein the reading

of the textus receptus and the unique florilegium manuscript is relatively similar to that of the bulk of the florllegium manuscripts, it is possible that Independent conjecture or error in copying has transformed the typical florilegium

64 reading Into one identical with the reading of the text.ua ££ceptus. 3*

The appearance of a reading Identical with that of

the textus receptus— •presumably. of course, a correct read­ ing— in a single florilegium manuscript may be due to confla­ tion from a non— extant collateral manuscript.

Except under

certain conditions, however, this is not llkel3r to be due to conflation from a longer manuscript of the PV type.

It is

extremely improbable that any scribe, having access to a more nearly complete collection of Symmachus1 letters than ap­ peared in his copy of the florilegium edition, would have been satisfied to use this longer work merely as an aid in correct­ ing the letters of the florilegium, without availing himself of the opportunity to add to his collection of letters by copying out at least some of those which he did not have.

By

way of example, nj furnishes us with an illustration of the procedure and results which we should logically expect.^Here access to a more nearly complete manuscript of Symmachus1 letters has resulted in a doubling of the number of letters which the original florilegium manuscript contained. In the absence of such additions to the text in the other florilegium manuscripts, we may conclude that the occasional unique agreement of one of them with £ and/or V, as repre­ sented by the textus receptus. is not due to conflation from £ or

or any manuscript of their general type. 1.

On the other hand, the possibilities of conflation be­ tween collateral florilegium manuscripts are very great, and a case of unique agreement with the textus receptus. if not due to either of the causes named in (l) and (2) above, might be due to conflation from another florilegium manuscript, either entirely or partially no longer extant, which possessed a reading identical with that of the textus receptus. For a possible illustration of this theory, we may con­ sider two unique readings in ,d.

Only £ of all the flori­

legium manuscripts available at those points contains the words quaestor...alia, found on p. 14, 7-8, and si...darl. found on p. 14, 9-12, which are given also, Seech tells us, by

X

and 24 (Seeck*s sign for the prefatory supplement of jn,

the Montpellier manuscript).

Obviously a congruence of this

nature cannot be due to chance or conjecture nor is it, pre­ sumably, due to conflation of & from a longer, non-flori— legium manuscript.

Either &, alone of the available flori­

legium manuscripts, has preserved the correct readings in­ tact by direct transmission from the original (reason 1 above), or it has received them through conflation from a better manu­ script of the florilegium, no longer extant, which preserved the text In an earlier stage of its transmission from the original than is illustrated by the other available flori­ legium manuscripts.

In either event, whatever the reason, it

is obvious and significant that Just a single manuscript, In the face of united opposition on the part of all the other available florilegium manuscripts, has preserved the correct

reading, both of the author1& original and, presumably, of the ultimate florilegium archetype* The manuscripts are ranked below according to their rela­ tive freedom from error.

The errors are of two types:

those

which any given manuscript has in common with one or more other manuscripts^ and unique errors,^ excluding those based on minor orthographical differences, which the manuscript In question shares with no other extant manuscript.

The fewer

the errors, the closer the manuscript is, presumably, to the ultimate common archetype and the better witness it is, conse­ quently, of the original text. Manuscript

This information has been employed In establishing the stemma ftoainum.

The arrangement of the manuscripts In the

various sub-groups reflects the relative frequency with which pairs or small groups of manuscripts present common errors, but the vertical position of any manuscript Is determined by its relative closeness to the archetype as Indicated by the number of errors which It exhibits. The stemma codlcum follows.

69 Study of I 1-25 of the Florlleglum Edition The evidence presented In the preceding pages has

led to

satisfactory conclusions concerning the relationships of the eighteen florlleglum manuscripts with regard to the major portion of Book I (and lowing)*

in general, presumably, the books fol­

Three manuscripts, however, all present I 1-25 as a

distinct unit (& has these letters in the normal order before I 28 ff* but In a different hand, whereas A S add them after the other letters).

This fact gives rise to speculation con­

cerning the possibility that a study of the text of these six letters, in the other codices as well as these, may indi­ cate a relationship of the manuscripts different from that which our study of the main portion of Book I has indicated, due to the not unlikely possibility that these portions of Book I were copied from parent manuscripts of different fami­ lies* List II presents the material used in making this study, in the form of the collected errors from Book I 1— 25 which any two or more florlleglum manuscripts have in common. These errors have been totaled in two forms in Tables III and IV which follow.

The two branches of the florilegium family are evenly divided at this point as to the order of oonr>endll and scriota. but agree in placing the infinitive at the end of the phrase. Each of the three arrangements can be supported by similar instances taken from other letters, which puts the burden of choice on the shoulders of a future editor.

Any of the three

is possible. There is another variation in order in connection with p, 39, 18.

For the reading "tlbi acceptae sunt" in Seeck,

the florilegium manuscripts give "acceptae sunt tlbi."

Either

order seems appropriate, but the fact that the first reading is supported by both £ and Z makes it preferable. In one case (p. 32, 16) the florilegium manuscripts dif­ fer from

in the spelling of a name.

give "Fasganiae"

whereas the florilegium manuscripts agree in "Fasgeniae." With no evidence available for corroborating either reading, Seeck*s choice of the form which has the support of two lines of descent is logical. The three remaining readings not given by Seeck all ap­ pear impossible or at best improbable. 1, 8-9 Haec me atque alia hulus-/modi oppldo perpulerunt scrlbendi munus insuper non habere.

Though the two forms are quite similar, It is more prob­ able that pepulerunt arose by error from perpulerunt than vice versa, and this argument, plus the presence of the forceful oppldo. although It Is not given by any florilegium manuscript, and the general extravagant tone

Here the £, reading aut is obviously Incorrect, and the presence of et. In three of the manuscripts, rather than being due to substitution for adque in some early stage of the text transmission, probably was the result of independent conjec­ ture on the part of

more discerning scribes who realized that

reading.

The solu­

hints that the editor responsible for many

of the plausible variant readings in these two manuscripts was also dissatisfied with gam in this context, for in these manuscripts instare takes the place of instigate (as it does in the other florilegium manuscripts as well), nisi has been changed to mlhl (as in £m also), and gllscet obilvlo has been omitted.

Thus the reading of hk at this point is 11...nam

mlhi lnstare pergo atque exculpere a te aliquid litterarum.11

106 Only through such or similar changes can nam be made to seem appropriate. In five places Seeck erred in selecting or recording the reading of the florilegium archetype; 19; 22, 22; 28, 22.

p. 1, 16; 19, 5; 22,

Four of the F readings, however, even in

their corrected forms, remain improbable substitutes for the readings of the textus reoentus.

The fifth (p. 22, 22) is a

variant in order which is possible but in no way superior to the present reading. In summarizing, we find that Seeck has anticipated our findings with regard to the £, readings in Book I in by far the greater number of instances.

Except for relatively minor

orthographical variants, there are Just eight £, readings which Seeck has entirely overlooked, none of which is superior to the corresponding reading of the textus receptus.

In five

instances, the reading which Seeck reports as being that of the florilegium archetype is incorrectly given, but in none of these cases is the £ reading superior to that which has been adopted into the text.

Corrective Data Concerned with S e e c k F "Florilegium Archetype Reading?*

List V presents the complete corrective data concerning the rest of those readings which Seeck In the critical appara­ tus of Book I of his edition attributes to the florilegium archetype.

In each Instance, as the study of the entire group

of florilegium manuscripts shows, the reading of the tex.tus reoeptus actually has the support of one or more florilegium manuscripts and may, therefore, in some cases at least, be assumed to be the reading of the Symmachian original and of the florilegium archetype as well, even though most of the manuscripts concur in another reading. List V follows.

In any event,

Symmachian reading and indicates a definite attempt at emenda­ tion for improvement.

129 The text at p. 19, 20 reads "tecum haec penslus aestima— hls.••" Seech's apparatus attributes this reading to (II), lure— tus* first edition, and tells us that J/g. read "estimavi," though otherwise they agree with the text as given above. Pertinent variants among the florlleglum manuscripts are as follows: 19, 20

tecum:

om. ailTfronl-| mPE

aestimabls: estlma armdgonloE.1 scbvw

estimavi (aut aes-)

It Is almost certain that the reading in Seeck Is the correct original.

The change from aestimabls to aestlmavl

can be explained readily:

Jj, and v are frequently confused

and the final .§, could easily have dropped out before the £ of sed which follows.

Presumably "tecum haec penslus estimavi"

was the reading of the common archetype of the extant flori— legium manuscripts, and the omission of tecum by one group of manuscripts and the change to estlma b.v hk or their ances­ tor represent two methods employed for curing an impossible reading.

Once more we see that the reading of

merit, not to faithfulness to the original, but to scholarly conjecture. Perhaps the best example for demonstrating that

their merit to sound emendation or conjecture is to be found in connection with p. 29, 4-6,

131 The evidence of the florlleglum manuscripts is not quite as clear at this point as Seeck would have us believe.

The

various manuscripts give the following readings: 37,

The probability here is that effllcte represents the reading of the florlleglum archetype.

There was obviously,

however, considerable confusion at some point in the trans­ mission of the text, and affecte is the reading given by a large group of manuscripts with which agree.

are often found to

Presumably the latter reading was given by an early

ancestor of h k .

The scribe responsible for the Improvement

of the text of these manuscripts observed that this is an im­ possible reading in this context and emended it to read affectuose.

The presence of this word In the text of

indicates

that this emendation and, presumably, the other unique read­ ings found in these manuscripts alone, do not take their ori­ gin from the pen of Symmachus or from that of a contemporary of his, for the word is not found in Latin literature of this or an*earlier period.

The earliest use of this word as re­

corded in the Latin Thesaurus1 is in the epistles of Sldonius who died ca. 480, some fourscore years after Symmachus. We may conclude on the basis of these examples that when differ from the other florlleglum manuscripts they reflect a careful revision of the text in one of their common ances­ tors, with the tools of emendation and conjecture rather skillfully employed, and that a unique reading given by these 1 * Thesaurus Linguae Latlnae.

This revision Is probably the source of the variant read­ ings In & which appealed to Professor Dunlap,^ one of which received further support through Miss Dorman's study of Consultation of the other available florlleglum manu­ scripts at this point shows that other manuscripts. 176,

The evidence Is the following:

Aevum maneat hlc dies cbdE: In perpetuum m. h. d. 1.1 svw; *n perpetuum m. hec d. ^a; cum m. h. ron; diu m. h. d. g; haustus In evum m. h. d. Faustus in a. m. h. d. &

The reading given In the text represents, presumably, the archetype original, whereas the variants represent substi­ tutes for what seems to be a rather unusual construction, with the

solution being, as Is often the case, the most elaborate.

It seems impossible that the reading suggested by

should

be the original, In the face of this evidence. The other reading mentioned by Professor Dunlap® has a little more merit, since the difference between it and the reading of Seeck's text Is a rather simple orthographical one. The context, p. 90, 26—28, is as follows: .••slmulque/deprecor, ut adfectlonem, quam mlhl et praesentl dependere et absentl dlgnatus es polllcerl, 1.

The variant Is attractive and can rather easily be Ima­ gined to have been the source of the former reading, but the weight of evidence against it (£ and the bulk of the flori— leglum manuscripts) Is great.

Concluding Remarks

To what conclusions concerning the value of the florlleglum manuscripts are we led by the Information presented on the pre­ ceding pages? First, it must be repeated that the present study is based on a single book of the letters.

Justification of this pro­

cedure Involves the assumptions that the text of the florlleglum archetype was of uniform quality throughout and that the manu­ scripts have preserved every portion of this text with equal fidelity, which may, conceivably, not be the case.

It would,

however, be impossible to know whether or not these assumptions are absolutely valid without multiplying our labours ten-fold and performing for each book the operations which have been performed for this.

Instead, it has been the purpose of this

paper to determine the value and necessity of such a complete study on the basis of findings made through this partial study. In the first place, our study of the £. readings has shown us that Seeck, through a skillful choice of witnesses, has generally succeeded in giving correctly the probable reading of the florlleglum archetype.

His errors are due occasionally

to carelessness and occasionally to the Incompleteness of his data, but the number of errors and, through chance perhaps, the types of errors are relatively insignificant. In general, the value of the florlleglum manuscripts lies chiefly In the random suggestions provided by variant readings, which may be given Indiscriminately by the best or the worst manuscript.

It appears, however, that these variants do not

owe their origin to Symmachus but, rather, to the conjecture

135 and emendation of later scribes, which. Implies, correctly, that the value of the florlleglum manuscripts In restoring the words of Symmachus Is generally slight, providing there are other witnesses available. Seeck1s text Is good; his workmanship Is sound; his find­ ings with respect to the readings of the florlleglum manu­ scripts are not always as accurate as they might be, due to the incompleteness of his evidence, but his surmises as to the reading of the florlleglum archetype are generally shrewd and correct; his greater reliance on the non—florlleglum manuscript traditions seems, to a very considerable extent, Justified. In conclusion, therefore, It does not appear that the value of the florlleglum manuscripts In improving the text of Symmachus1 letters as established by Seeck is so great as to warrant a new edition of the letters, based on the additional evidence which a complete study of all the available flori— leglum manuscripts might furnish.

CHAPTER VI SUMMARY Through a study of the external features of the available florlleglum manuscripts considered in their entirety and of the Internal evidence of Book I In these works, the relation­ ship of the manuscripts to one another has been established. They belong to two main divisions In most of Book I and, pre­ sumably, in the other nine books as well,

0-roup I consist­

ing of aronlnEdg and Oroup II consisting of m.lhkscbvw. are strong Indications^* that

§l and

There

fe shift their allegiance

to Oroup II In the last few books, however, as a does also in I 1-25.

In addition, there are closely related sub-groups In

both of these main divisions, viz., sa, ron. aronlnEr life, vw, -1vwr cb j and .Ihkscbvw. From a study of shared incorrect readings, the florilegium is found to be more closely related to V than to £. This agrees with Seeck's earlier findings. The chief value of the florlleglum manuscripts as a source of Improvement In the present text appears to lie in the vari­ ant readings which are suggested by various members of the family. 1.

These variants, however, seem to owe their merits to Cf. pp. 36-37.

137 later Independent conjecture rather than to direct descent from the author's original. Although based on relatively Incomplete evidence, Seeck's recording of the florlleglum readings Is generally correct. The attractive qualities which Professors Dunlap and Dorman attributed to the entire florlleglum family on the basis of their studies of, respectively, the Michigan and the Chicago manuscripts, are found to be peculiar to those two manuscripts and due to emendation, not closeness to the Symmachlan ori­ ginal . The evidence furnished by the study of the text of Book I in the florlleglum manuscripts Indicates that the value of these manuscripts in improving the present text is not great enough to warrant the preparation of a new edition of the let­ ters based on a further, complete study of all the florlleglum manuscripts.
