Fragment from a bifolium and a fragment from the same copy of Nonius Marcellus, De compendiosa doctrina (a dictionary-like encyclopedia quoting numerous otherwise lost Ancient authors), in Latin, humanist manuscript on parchment [Italy, c. 1450] Remains of three leaves, pasted together and reused on a later binding and so with scuffed surfaces, cuts to edges, and small rectangular sections cut away from middle to accommodate thongs on spine of later binding, remains of double column of 20 lines (with entries from the ‘A’ and ‘T’ sections of the text), approximately two thirds of surface damaged and difficult or impossible to read, the remainder with 14 legible lines from each leaf, reverse scrubbed clean and with sixteenth-century title added, small sections of a thirteenth- or fourteenth-century manuscript visible in offset on reverse, the bifolium 258 by 385mm. (the whole 375 by 385mm.); set in glass Nonius Marcellus was an important Roman author, who has been so spectacularly ill served by the passage of time that we know almost nothing about him, and his works are of superlative rarity in manuscript. He was a Roman grammarian who lived sometime between the third and fifth century (these dates established by the last authors he quotes being of the close of the second century, and Priscian quoting him as already dead), and the chance survival of the longer version of the title of his work identifies him as a peripatetic philosopher from Thubursicum in Numidia. His only surviving work is this one - a vast twenty book encyclopedia of Latin literature, which sets out Latin words alongside examples of their use by known authors. It is of enormous importance for these quotations, as among the clutter of common works such as Cicero and Virgil, are witnesses to otherwise lost Latin Classical works, including the poetic tragedies of Accius (170-c. 86 BC.) and Pacuvius (220-c. 130 BC.), the satires of Lucilius (c. 180-103/2 BC., the earliest Roman satirist), and the history of Sisenna (c. 120-67 BC.). The present fragment quotes one of Accius’ works in the easily legible section of the bifolium, as well as another and book xxx of Lucilius’ satires at the foot of the same leaf.

The work was intended to consist of four books, each focusing on different aspects of heraldry, but following the printing of the thirteenth chapter of the third book Holme was unable to print the rest of his work even though he had as stated in his passage to the reader following the final chapter completed the manuscript. This manuscript is held at the British Library. The rest of book 3 and book 4 were published in 1905 by the Roxburghe Club. (1)

LOUIS PHILIPPE I: (1773-1850) King of France 1830-48. A good A.L.S., with paraph, three pages, 8vo, n.p., 8th February 1818, to an unidentified correspondent, in French. A letter of very interesting content, Louis Philippe stating in part `..I am of the opinion and tend to believe that in a court case as well as in war, you cannot hesitate, nor disagree to attack your enemy everywhere he is susceptible to be attacked..´ further referring to his father and to the time when he left France, saying `I left France seven months before my father passed away, although I was still present when he was arrested. He was arrested the 4th of April, and I escaped on the 5th. This doesn´t change anything to the matter, but it is in order to be rigorous and have the exact dates and facts..´ VG £200-300Louis Philippe d´Orleans (1747-1793) Duke of Montpensier and later Duke of Chartres. First Prince du sang (Prince of the Blood). Also called Philippe Egalité after the French Revolution which he strongly supported, advocating for the constitutional monarchy instead of the absolute monarchy. Although he was cousin of Louis XVI he voted the death of the King. Louis Philippe was himself guillotined too in November 1793 during the reign of terror. Although Louis Philippe I states very clearly in this letter that his father was arrested on the 4th, the Encyclopedia Universalis states that the order arrest was dated 6th April and that Philippe d´Orleans was effectively arrested on 7th April.
