Fragm. 2813-2814: Titus Livius

[olim kps. 19/IX]

Parchment, 2 pieces of 1 leaf, c. 12,5 + 14 × 19,5 cm; France: Corbie, 850-870

The leaf contained the text of Titus Livius’ Ab urbe condita II.7.7 (submissa sibi) to II.11.8 (egressus ipse). Parts of the text have been lost due to cutting and other physical damages, and to an added red substance on the versoside

The fragment was used in the binding of a copy of Joannes Vaudus, Variarum quæstionum libri II, Frankfurt 1595, in The Royal Library (Kat. 102, 94)
