Note 1557 — Chapter I · PLINY THE YOUNGER AND MINOR CONTEMPORARIES

Prof. E. K. Rand, who with E. A. Lowe published the facsimile of the uncial remains of the Letters now in the Pierpont Morgan Library, N. Yk. (Washington, 1922), has indicated a new method of approach through the Aldine edition, in the belief that these fragments form part of the lost Codex Parisinus which Aldus used for his ed. of 1508 (Harv. Stud. in Cl. Phil., XXXIV., 1923). Prof. Merrill has not accepted this identification or the 6th cent. date suggested for the uncials (Class. Philol., Chicago, April, 1923).
