Xx ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA that the battle of Marignano (13, 4 Sept. 1515) is mentioned in Eov. i. 35. But the news of the battle had certainly reached Basle by 2 Oct. (Ep. 360), and perhaps earlier; and it is therefore by no means impossible that it should have been known to the authors of Eov. in time for the insertion of it in one of the later letters (Eov. i contains only 4r in all) and the publication of the book by 19 Oct. Bauch’s typographical arguments are discussed in the Centralblatt, xv, pp. 490 seq. by Steiff; who enforces his former and seemingly unanswerable demonstration (Buchdruck in Tiibingen, pp. 217, 8n.), that the first edition of Eov. was printed by Gran at Hagenau. P. 164, Ep. 373 introd. Dr. M. R. James has shown that the scribe of the Leicester Codex was a Greek, Emmanuel of Constantinople (xv°. med.); and that the MS. was perhaps written by him in Cambridge after 1472: see Journal of Theological Studies, v (1904), pp. 445-7, and xi (Jan. 1970), P 182 117, 20. I. p. 14. 5 seq. should have been cited in addition to the references to Iv. P. 202. Nic. Basell was a friend of Mutianus in 1503 and probably earlier; see RE. 87 and MRE}, 293 = MRE?, 2 and 302. P. 209, Ep. 395 introd. Ellenbog’s correspondence with Gallus Knöringer, Prior of the Benedictine monastery of St. Magnus at Füssen in Bavaria, is copied in a manuscript volume belonging to Knôringer ; which is now the property of the Ponickau estate at Füssen, P. 295, 1.98n. For xv°. read xv°. , P. 390, Ep. 493 introd. From the frequent agreement between C! and 8, extending even to the reproduction of errors (cf. Ep. 522. 52), I incline to think that Budaeus must have used C1, and not his own manuscripts, as the basis for the text of those letters (Epp. 403, 435, 493, 522) which he printed in BE’. Similarly for Ep. 583 he seems to have used as his basis either D° or F; cf. Ep. 583. 158 and 204. LIST OF PLATES PAGE 1. Deventer Letter-book, f. 121 y°, written by Hand A in its straight and curved form; Ep. 370 ; È i è E a . In the manuscript the difference of ink makes it easy to discern the operations of the xvii, editor (not Leclerc: presumably De la Faye); e.g. in 1. 1, the enlargement of the initial o of octobribus, in l. 4 the alteration of o to u, and the addition of c (L 5) to perontari. To him are due also the heading (copied, without scrupulous accuracy, from the foot of the preceding page), the marginalia, the underlines, the accents over a and e, and the commas of upright form (e.g. after quidem, l. 2; after perlatae, 1. 3). 2.

In the margin Erasmus writes hgmodi phi, which is expanded and altered by the xviic. editor.
