Notes:

• CCCC MS 81 The article is on Arabic, Greek and Latin mss by ancient authors in catalogue descriptions. The manuscripts in the Parker Library, which in Matthew Parker’s time were inscribed as belonging to Theodore of Tarsus, and thus dating to the seventh century or earlier, are given particular discussion, including the Homer, CCCC MS 81. This ms is a special case because it has the name Theodoros (Theodore Gaza?) in a laurel wreath on the first recto, pp. 183, 184, 185, 186
• CCCC MS 158 The article is on Arabic, Greek and Latin mss by ancient authors in old catalogue descriptions. The manuscripts in the Parker Library, which in Matthew Parker’s time were inscribed as belonging to Theodore of Tarsus, and thus dating to the seventh century or earlier, are given particular discussion, including the Cicero, CCCC MS 158. Humfrey Wanley in the 18th century dismissed this attribution to the time of Theodore of Tarsus, pp. 183, 184, 186
• CCCC MS 403 The article is on Arabic, Greek and Latin mss by ancient authors in old catalogue descriptions. The manuscripts in the Parker Library, which in Matthew Parker’s time were inscribed as belonging to Theodore of Tarsus, and thus dating to the seventh century or earlier, are given particular discussion, including the Euripides, CCCC MS 403. Humfrey Wanley in the 18th century dismissed this attribution to the time of Theodore of Tarsus, pp. 183, 186
• CCCC MS 480 The article is on Arabic, Greek and Latin mss by ancient authors in old catalogue descriptions. The manuscripts in the Parker Library, which in Matthew Parker’s time were inscribed as belonging to Theodore of Tarsus, and thus dating to the seventh century or earlier, are given particular discussion, including the Psalter. CCCC MS 480. Humfrey Wanley in the 18th century dismissed this attribution to the time of Theodore of Tarsus, pp. 183, 186
