BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PERIPLUS
Codex Pal. Graec., 398. A parchment of the Tenth Century, in the Library of the University of Heidelberg. It was taken to Rome during the Thirty Years' War, and to Paris under Napoleon; and was restored to Heidelberg in 1816.
| | This manuscript contains twenty different titles, of which the first six are as follows: |
| | I. | Argumentum a Leone Allatio. (Allazi, who packed and shipped the Heidelberg Library to Rome.) |
| | II. | Fragmentum de Palude Maeotide et de Ponto Euxino. |
| | III. | Arrianus de venatione. |
| | IV. | Ejusdem epistola ad Trajanum qua periplus Ponti Euxini continetur. |
| | V. | Ejusdem Periplus Maris Rubri. |
| | VI. | Hannonis periplus. |
Manuscript 19,391. A parchment, supposed to be of the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Century, in the British Museum. A portion of it is supposed to have come from the monastery of Mount Athos. Such matter as it contains in common with the Heidelberg manuscript seems to have been copied therefrom, or from a common original.
| | In this the Periplus is anonymous. |

| | This first printed text, corrupt and full of errors due to lack of knowledge of the subject, served nevertheless for three centuries as the basis of later editions, because of the disappearance of the Heidelberg manuscript. |
