Author Description

Excerpt from Commentarius in Catonis De Agri Cultura Librum Catonis et Varronis libros manu scriptos ex uno codice Marciano, quem Politianus et Victorius tractaverunt, descriptos esse in priore parte huius editionis dixi et quae auxilia ad eius lectionem restituendam parata sint exposui. De scriptura autem archetypi et de apographis, in quibus antiqui - sima correctorum vestigia apparent, longa disputatione disserendum non putavi. Superest ut de studiis editorum et eorum qui in emendanda cor rupta scriptura operam collocaverunt, quorum libros in his com mentariis usurpavi, ea quae scire opus est dicantur, in quibus quaedam, quae ea de re in editione Varronis a. 1889 brevitw disputavi hoc loco repeteuda esse existimavi, alia vero etiam correxi.
