Pagina 74 - Dum haec in Hispania geruntur, Marcellus captis Syracusis cum cetera in Sicilia tanta fide atque integritate composuisset, ut non modo suam gloriam sed etiam maiestatem populi Romani augeret...
Pagina 49 - He interpreted the oo oo oo oo as xxxx. Then, being in the habit of writing XL for 40, he supposed that the fourth oo was a scribal error and that 30 was the number. Feeling that the passage...
Pagina 48 - ... that oo was the symbol for 10, inasmuch as it was followed by cc ; yet he continued to make the same mistake throughout his quota of the work, though once, being in doubt, he left a blank to be filled in by the corrector. Other examples of his treatment of the symbol are : XXIII, 40, 4 ad GCXOC sardorum eo proelio caesa P.
Pagina 53 - He may have thought that -duum meant 2 in combination with a preceding number, and then guessed that the first part meant 10. It will be seen from the above examples that the great majority of the numeral corruptions involve the larger numbers. Of a total of 32 examples, there are 15 in which x is written for oo.
Pagina 50 - R has XL numidarum. The scribe supposed that the number was xxxx, and was in the habit of writing XL for 40. As in the preceding example, the clue for emendation is practically lost. (2) The symbol for 1000 with which the scribes were familiar was M. Consequently the scribes Theogrimnus and Theodegrimnus sometimes write mille for M., the abbreviation for Marcus, and a number is thereby created where none had existed. xxvi, 21, 13 id m cornelio mandatum P, id mille cornelio mandatum R. To the scribe,...
Pagina 74 - ... humani rapere ex igni vellent, correpti alii flamma sunt, alii ambusti adflatu vaporis, cum receptus primis urgente turba non esset, ita Astapa sine praeda militum ferro ignique 5 absumpta est.
Pagina 49 - D in which a late corrector bas written m. The erased letters were probably xx, as the work of the scribe Aldo shows other cases of this confusion. There is a possibility, however, that the letters were oo oo, and that the correction was a deliberate one, made with the purpose of bringing Livy into harmony with Polybius, who gives 1500 as the number. In the two examples which follow, as well as in the second example from the work of Fredegaudus, this confusion of x and oo is responsible for a further...
Pagina 54 - Adding the examples of the omission of £f, we have a total of 25 cases of numeral corruptions involving errors of 500 or more. The total number of numeral corruptions due to all other causes amounts to but 7. The smallest class is that to which books on textual criticism give the most attention. The havoc made with the numerals in this one process of transcription goes to show how little reliance can be placed upon the accuracy of the numerals in the texts of classical Latin writers which are based...
Pagina 52 - NOLAN^OS). — this scribe wrote nolax&os, probably because he had been cautioned against omitting the symbol. This precaution shows how great a tendency there was to errors of this kind. (4) Another source of error in connection with the numerals was the difference in practice in the fifth century and in the ninth with regard to the manner of writing 40. In P it is regularly written xxxx. In the ninth century the form XL seems to have been the more familiar form. Consequently there is a slight tendency...
Pagina 48 - ... longis mittit P. The number as it now stands in R is oo delectorum militum, but the oo is written by a corrector in an erasure of what was probably xx. It is to be noted that the correction is also wrong, and that the scribe has returned to writing x for oo. The above examples from the work of Fredegaudus I have given first, not because they are the most numerous, but because they illustrate the workings of his mind with regard to the symbol. There are four stages to his treatment of the symbol:...
