Author Description

Excerpt from Q. Curti Rufi Historiarum Alexandri Magni Macedonis Libri Qui Supersunt Begnb. 1870 p. Efortasse is verum adsequatur, qui ubique codicis Paris. Lectiones praefert: nam, ut quid sentiam ingenue profitear, codex Paris. Melioris generis deterius exemplar, arche typon autem codd. B. F. L. V. Deterioris generis melius exem plar re raesentare mihi videtur'. Gratulandnm tamen est his stu 's quod viri summae in eiusmodi rebus auctoritatis, Ed. Woelfflinus et A. Hugius, identidem monitores exsti terunt, ne immodica esset codicis Parisini ut libri nuper quasi reperti admiratio. Metuendum enim sane erat, si editores illo libro se nimio studio adda'xissent, ne corrumperetur saepius quam emendaretur Q. Curti oratio. Quam considerate in singuh's locis emendandis codicem illum ego adhibuerim aliorum erit indicare: unum non dubito testati summa religione me operam dedisse, ut ne sa, quam de universa Parisini fida concepissem, opinio in singulis locis discutiendis me faceret reliquie bonis codicibus iniquiorem.
