Excerpt from Catullus In the Critical Appendix are exhibited in full the readings of G and 0, with the omission, however, of such as present only unimportant orthographical peculiarities. For the readings of G I have depended mainly upon the published collations of Baehrens, Ellis, and Schwabe (in his last edition), together with the photolithographic fac-simile of the ms. Published at Paris in 1890. For the readings of 0 I have followed a collation and complete transcript of that ms. Made by me in July, 1889, by the courtesy of the Librarian of the Bodleian. This collation was carefully compared on the spot with the collations of Ellis and Schwabe, and is therefore, I trust, reasonably free from error. A fac-simile of a page of codex 0, reduced one-third in size, follows this preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
