Publisher's Synopsis
""Certain Sources of Corruption in Latin Manuscripts"" is a scholarly study written by Frederick William Shipley in 1904. The book focuses on the corruption found in two manuscripts of Livy, a Roman historian, namely Codex Puteanus from the fifth century and its copy, Codex Reginensis 762 from the ninth century. Shipley examines the errors and discrepancies found in these manuscripts and attempts to identify the sources of their corruption. The book is written in a highly academic style and is intended for readers with a background in Latin and classical studies. It is an important resource for scholars interested in the history of Latin manuscripts and the process of manuscript transmission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
