- <p>Contains the twelve eclogues of Francesco Petrarch (ff.
- 1–44), the <bibl><title>Culex</title></bibl> of Vergilius
- Maro, the <bibl><title>Dirae</title></bibl> of Vergilius
- Maro (ff. 52–55), and Calpurnius and Nemesianus (ff. 55–74).
- A very brief, unattributed eclogue follows with the
- interlocutors Daphnis, Tityrus, Mopsus, and Meliboeus.</p>
- <p>The following inscription has been added to the eclogues of
- Calpurnius: <quote xml:lang="la">Egloge Calfurnii ad
- nemesianum cartaginiensem.</quote> (<quote>The Eclogues
- of Calfurnius to Nemesianus of Carthage</quote>).
- Nemesianus follows Calpurnius with the following title
- prefixed: <quote xml:lang="la">Aureliani nemesiani
- cartaginiensis egloghe incipiunt</quote> (<quote>Here
- begin the eclogues of Aurelianus Nemesianus of
- Carthage</quote>). At the end of each eclogue there
- appears an <hi rend="italic">explicit</hi> with the number
- of each eclogue, but Calpurnius’ sixth eclogue lacks a
- subscription, and the following is written at the end of the
- seventh: <quote xml:lang="la">explicit sexta egloga
- Calphurnii</quote> (<quote>Here ends the sixth eclogue
- of Calphurnius</quote>). This is explained by the fact
- that the seventh eclogue follows the sixth without any
- break, with the result that only six eclogues are attributed
- to Calpurnius in this manuscript. But in the margin, where
- the sixth eclogue ought to end, the copyist has added the
- following: <quote xml:lang="la">aliqui volunt dicere quod
- ista sit alia et diversa egloga ubi incipit “lentus,"
- aliqui dicunt quod est una etc.</quote> (<quote>Some
- wish to say that the eclogue that begins <hi
- rend="italic">lentus</hi> is a completely different
- eclogue; others say that it is the same,
- etc.</quote>).</p>
