Notes

Revilla-Andrés 26.
Nota Antiqua r.ii.6.
Miller no. 26.

Maximus of Tyre: forty orations (λόγοι μʹ).
Proclus on Plato’s First Alcibiades.

Scribe for fols. 1-128v (Maximus Tyrius) is Petrus Carnabaca(s), alias Carneades (scribe also in Scorialenses 183, 188, 193, 248, 251, 301, 346, 426, 430, 437 and 512); see Vogel & Gardthausen in Bibliography and Online Resources for more information. He is scribe no. 13 in Fernández Pomar (see Bibliography). See online resources for examples of his penmanship in other mss.

See entry in Revilla-Andrés for detailed description and comments.

Note that Πίνακες (as of this writing) has this incorrectly as "Rho. II. 6 (Revilla 026)". The Escorial notæ antiquæ (superseded by the 3-vol. Revilla-Andrés catalogue) used sometimes Roman and sometimes Greek letters for the first part of each call-number.
