A volume of copies of Greek and Latin Inscriptions, written in different hands from about 1680 to 1834
File
MS. Montagu c. 4
Held at the Weston Library
A volume of copies of Greek and Latin Inscriptions, made up of four pieces, some of which were perhaps not in Montagu's possession:
- (fol. 2) Greek and Latin Inscriptions on the towers, walls, and monuments of Constantinople, copied by the rev. T. H. Walpole in 1829-30: at fol. 3 is a letter from him to dr. B. Bandinel, Dec. 10, 1834.
- (fol. 26) Some Latin Inscriptions in Central and South Italy, with one Greek, copied in the first half of the 18th century, partly from a collection by Franciscus Valetta.
- (fol. 35) 'Auctarium Inscriptionum Veterum', a neat copy of Latin Inscriptions chiefly from Lucania, presented to J. P. D'Orville by the writer Theophilus Maurus. Artt. 2, 3, and 4 seem properly to be part of the D'Orville collection.
- (fol. 42) 'Antique Inscriptiones [Latine] addende ad Tabulas Sicilie Georgij Gualterij': at fol. 48 more Sicilian Inscriptions follow, many Greek, and at fol. 80 a letter from le perè Bouhier to D'Orville, April 19, 1733, in French.
