Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from C. Plini Caecili Secundi Epistularum Libri Novem, Epistularum Ad Traianum Liber, Panegyricus
Novem epistularum libros a Plinio editos esse auctore constat Sidonio Apollinari qui epist. IX 1 addis inquit et causas quibus hic liber nonna ceto superio voluminibus adcmcat quod C. Secundus cuius nos orbitas soqui hoc opere pronuntias, paribus titulis opus epistulare determinet.' ob scurata autem proximis a Sidonio saeculis harum epistularum memoria de cimo sacculo tria extiterunt exemplaria cum scriptura verbo tum disposi tione epistularum aliquantum inter se dissimilia. E quibus excmplaribus unum genuinum novem librorum numerum sed membranis aliquot casu interceptis minutum, servaverat; alterum octavo libro omisso nono pro octavo posito, turbato praeterea in quinto et in ultimo libro epistularum ordine octo libros exhibuit; tertium denique libros quattuor primos cum sex primis libri quinti cpistolis oomplectebatur. Praeterca autem in eo codice quarti libri cpistula vi cesima septima omissa erat: unde evasit numerus epistularum centum. Ex bac igitur stirpe cum triplex librorum genus quo posterior aetas usa est propagare tur non simul diversis exemplis descripti codices apparuerunt sed paullatim alio genere post aliud reperto universus epistularum numerus in lucem prodiit.
