The MSS. of Callimachvs' Hymns
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
There are many shortcomings in Otto Schneider's apparatus criticus to Callimachus' Hymns. Some of these appear on a perusal of the Praefatio. For it claims a thorough collation for only ten MSS. (ABCdEFGHIM); scantier citations are given from seven others (fKLQRST), from the editio princeps (called by Schneider D), and from the MSS. used respectively by Politian for Hymn V., and by Robortelli and H. Stephanus for all six Hymns. And, besides the unused codex Ambrosianus A 63 sup.. there is on pp. xxxix–xl a list of MSS., with the places where they have been reported to exist, only one of which (F) is represented in Schneider's collation.

It cannot be fairly said thai A ‘unus eminet’ (p. 11)in the x family, for C is nearly his equal; and Wilamowitz’ concession that a fourth apograph of the archetype may have existed, with GHI as its descendants (p. 13), is not borne out. His dependence on Schneider has caused several errors in his slight apparatus criticus.

page 6 note 4 C is ascribed to Johannes Rhosus, as is e where the hand is somewhat different; but the writing agrees in some notable characteristics, and the diversities are comprehensible when one remembers that Rhosus' activity as a scribe extended over fifty years (1447–1497); see Gardthausen, V., Griechische Palaeographie (Teubner, Leipzig, 1879) pp. 326–327Google Scholar.

page 8 note 1 Did he add Nicander from C ?
page 8 note 2 As, inter alia, their agreement at the larger lacunae shows.
page 8 note 3 Omissions of words are reserved for separate consideration.
page 9 note 1 In C, the parent of B, III. 182 ends a page, and in turning over the scribe (of C) omits 183 owing to homoeographon with 184.
page 9 note 2 K has this sign (∴) to attract attention, also at the end of the lacuna with which the x group close V. 17.
page 9 note 3 At IV. 147 (ἂṪεѵτ' K: γεѵτ' A by correction from γ-) A' alteration, though undoubted, is not very clear, and probably Rhosus did not discern it.
page 10 note 1 Add III. 173, where A has οίκήσοѵσα, K οІκήσασα, which C originally had but corrected to -οѵσα (B also -οѵσα). Presumably Rhosus conjectured -ασα in writing K and C, but repented of it in the latter case.
page 11 note 1 On this hypothesis C's correction of κεχρημѵ⍵ѵ (which B has) to -οѵ (I. 12) must be later than the copying of B from C. So for I. 10, where B has παρѵασíη, C παρρασíη by correction from παρѵ-. At V. 58 C's ταρᾶѵ (so AKeπ) shows no accent over the first α, but -ѵ has been added after erasure; B alone has ρραѵ, which is probably Rhosus' own conjecture.
page 11 note 2 Throughout this paper ‘major variations’ (or ‘mistakes’) refers to permutation of letters or syllables; omission or insertion of words or syllables; mis-division and non-division; and other points of importance. ‘Minor’ cases are those concerning accent, breathing, addition or omission of v ephelk. or of iota subscr.
page 11 note 3 Also, at I. 20 C's μλ' ἒüδροζ is nearer the true reading than B's μλα ἕüδροζ. At IV. 114, C rightly π' μεῖο B, π' μοῖο, with some others.
page 11 note 4 At I. 90 B's blurred reading is probably the correct ѵκλασαζ (-ασαζ cett.). At IV. 23 his πύργοσίѵ (-οίσί cett.) is due to later addition of -ѵ, perhaps by a second hand, such as added α in his α in his α χαίτδ, V. 13. At IV. 44 his αύ δείѵῖο is not so good as σύ of ACK, and no more metrical (see below, p. 14). At IV. 271 he gives ποσεῖ ωѵί δοѵτί, his first reading being influenced by κροѵτί just before.
page 12 note 1 A, alone among all the MSS., except II at VI. 108, sometimes has ‶in place of ‵ (μѵ, IV. 55, 185, 196; V. 93; VI. 65. δἒ, V. 23. μ, VI. 17). That this error is probably not original in A is suggested by VI. 108 (τἃѵ στíα Aπ: ταѵòѵ στíα SQ). Perhaps an original αi״, with the second ‵misread as (or corrected to) εѵ is responsible for aαιѵ of x (αι' cett.). at IV. 184.
page 12 note 2 C is twice guilty of sins of omission, fusing III. 130–131 (… στχѵѵ εύ δ' πμα) through parablepsy, and leaving out III. 183 owing to homoeographon with 184. A's text is normal in both places.
page 12 note 3 Also, at I. I, AK have ἢγοѵѵ (or ἒοί κεѵ ?) ἂλλο suprascript to οι τι κεѵ: BC the plain text.
page 13 note 1 Perhaps we ought to add at least some of the passages where BCK together seem to show emendations (cited above, p. 10).
