THE Codex Crippsianus is a MS. fairly written upon vellum (quarto size) and seems to be of the twelfth or, at the latest, of the thirteenth century. It contains nearly the same orations which are printed in the second part of the second volume of the works of the Greek Orators by Aldus, Venetiis, MDX111. but it is very different in its readings from the MS. which Aldus printed from; and is, in all respects, of a very superior order. The contents are as follows: Four Orations of Andocides, viz. 1. περι των μυστηρίων 3. περι της προς λακεδαιμονίας ειρηνης 4. και κατα αλκιβιαδε Eleven Orations of Isaeus, viz. 1. περι κλεωνυμε κληρο 2. περί το μεν κλεις κληρο 3. περι τα πυρρ8 κληρο 4. περι τε νικοστρατε κληρε 8. περί τα κιρωνος κληρε 9. περι τε αστυφιλε κληρο 10. προς ξεναινετον περί τε αρισταρχε κληρο 11. περι το αγνις κληρε sic semper MS. Upon the argument of the first of these Orations, as found page 1 of the 7th volume of Reiske's edition of the Greek Orators, Dr. Taylor has the following remark :-Pherenicus, Simon, quinam ? Credibile est TOV UTOεтny (the author of the argument) in integram Orationem incidisse, quam nos non nisi dimidiam habemus, vide versus finem. The Codex Crippsianus verifies this remark: for after the word BebaιOTEρav, page 13, 1. 4, ed. Reiske, there are two asterisks, denoting a lacuna, and this lacuna is supplied by no less than four pages of the MS. making more than one half of the oration, which is complete, and the names of Pherenicus and Simon occur as stated in the argument. The next Oration, περι μενεκλεως κληρο, is not in any edition of Isæus. It was printed by Mr. Tyrwhitt in the year 1785 from a transcript made of it from a MS. in the Medicean library; but the Codex Crippsianus furnishes some important various readings. The Peroratio of this Oration stands in the editions of Aldus and Stephens as the conclusion of the foregoing, to which it does not belong; nor is so acknowledged by the Codex Cripps.; in which it is found in its proper place. Three Orations of Dinarchus. 1. κατα δημοσθένες 2. κατα αριστογείτονος 3. κατα φιλοκλεες The first of these Orations I have collated, and can certify its containing a great number of important various readings, as well as supplying a lacuna. 10. κατηγορια φινε το λεμοντος αγυνασθαι. sic MS. 11. απολογια φυνε ον ως αμυνόμενος εφόνευσεν. 12. εκκατηγορίας ο υστερος. 13. εξ απολογιας ο υστερος. 14. υπερ τε ηρώδες φον8. 15. περί τε χορευτε. One Oration of Lycurgus: the only one known to be extant. κατα λεωκρατες. I have collated this Oration, and can speak strongly to the importance of the various readings which the MS. furnishes, as well as to its supplying whole passages not found in any known edition. Two Orations of Gorgias. 1. ελενης εγκωμιον 2. υπερ παλαμηδες απολογία. The former of these Orations is found in the first volume of Aldus's Greek Orators, after the Orations of Isocrates, and one attributed by the title to Alcidamas, and in the next page to Gorgias. The latter Oration is published by Aldus in the latter portion of his second volume, and follows Lycurgus. One Oration of Alcidamas. οδυσοευς κατα π παλαμηδες προδοσίας. Printed in the former part of Aldus's second volume, p. 177, and by Stephens, p. 184. Three Orations of Lesbonax. 1. πολιτικος περι τα πογεμε των κορινθιων 2. προτρεπτικός τε αυτε 3. ετι τε αυτε περί των αυτών. Published as above in Aldus, where however the 2 and 3 make one Oration under the title προτρεπ τικός. One Oration of Herodes. περι πολιτείας. Found also at the conclusion of the latter part of Aldus's second volume. εισι των παντων οι λογοι μα |
