Comments
Text in Latin and Greek. Priscian was the great 5th century Roman grammarian, who lived in Constantinople. In his Institutes he preserved many fragments from classical authors which otherwise would have been lost. One leaf on vellum, 4to (195: 170 mM.), 25 lines to the page, small Caroline script, with traces of folding and writing on verso much rubbed off, an interesting fragment with the quotation from the Greek in Greek uncials. Later half tenth century.
