The Digital Walters is a branch of The Walters Art Museum Manuscripts Department.
This collection of grammatical treatises was compiled by a student in the late fifteenth century. It contains works by Donatus, Diomedes, Phocas, Priscianus, Caper, Agraetius, Asper Maior, and Laurentius Valla. A later note on front flyleaf vi states that parts were copied from Jenson’s 1476 edition of Diomedes (the Walters owns a copy, shelf mark 91.450). On fol. 18r, an unusual brass initial letter was affixed to the page (it was reattached in June, 2016). Please note: cataloging is still in process for this manuscript.
