Made up of two MSS.:

A:

  1. Fol. iii. A transcript from Paris MS. Bibl. Nat. 2368 of the latter part of the second book and the whole of the third book of the Συναγωγαί μαθημματιkαί of Pappus Alexandrinus. The scribe of the Paris MS. was Nancelius Trachnæus, who wrote it in A.D. 1562. This part appears to have been written early in the 18th cent. The requisite figures are attached to the pages

B:

  1. Fol. 31. The latter part of the second book and the first part of the third book (as far as 'της ήθ. "Aλλωs τò aύτó', see fol. 10), in John Wallis's hand, about A.D. 1688
  2. Fol. 39. A Latin translation by J. Wallis of the 15th-26th propositions of the second book of the same work, with a 'Scholium' (beg. 'Ex tribus quos Oxoniæ habemus'), nearly as printed in Wallis's edition of Pappus, Oxf. 1688
