Introduction:
The manuscript contains a large selection of works by
the Greek rhetor Aelius Aristides (ca. 118-181 CE). He
was a leading exponent of the Second Sophistic, a Greek
philosophical-literary current developed in Asia Minor during the
imperial age, between the end of the 1st and the 4th century CE. On the
upper margin of p. 1, the author is erroneously referred to as
"Aristotelis Rhetor".
The manuscript was copied between the end of the 15th
century and the beginning of the 16th century, by a single scribe
who added the title and decoration in red ink. The first and last
folios of all quires were originally parchment, but not all have
survived. The text appears to be defective in several places, both
because of the loss of some folios and because of the scribe, who in
one case (pp. 45-[46]) tried to fill
the gap.
It was donated to the Trinity College in 1738 by Roger
Gale, the eldest son of the Fellow of Trinity and Dean of York
Thomas Gale, who was also an antiquarian.
It is the no. 99 in C.A. Behr's list of Aristides'
manuscripts.
