Manuscripts of "Scholia Ulpiani" on Demosthenes, "Orations" 1, 3 and 4 Dilts, Mervin R Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Spring 1979; 20, 1; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 55 Manuscripts of Scholia Ulpiani on Demosthenes, Orations 1, 3 and 4 Mervin R. Dilts S CROLlA attributed to Ulpian are extant for eleven of the delib­ erative orations of Demosthenes (1-4,10,11,13-17) and seven of the forensic orations (18-24). As even brief perusal of Din­ dorf's edition of Demosthenic scholia will reveal, Scholia Ulpiani (usually indicated by the sigla T C V) constitute a preponderance of, if not virtually all, scholia on these orations (if. 10-14, 16, 17). In fact the editio princeps of Demosthenic scholia (Aid us, Venice 1503) is actually an edition of Scholia Ulpiani, for scholia from independent recensions were scarcely known until 1770 when scholia were pub­ lished from Monacensis gr. 485 (A, saec. 10) and Monacensis gr. 85 (B, saee. 13), which is an apograph of Mareianus gr. 416 (F, saee. 10).1 Eighty-one years later Dindorf made the first attempt at a complete edition of Demosthenic scholia,2 and he included scholia from A and B as well as two other recensions independent' of Scholia Ulpiani: (1) Parisinus gr. 2935 (Y, saee. 10), Laurentianus gr. 59.9 (P, saee. 10) 3 and (2) Parisinus gr. 2934 (8, saec. 9/10). Although Dindorf accomplished more than previous editors, his edition derives from inadequate MS. evidence. Thus of the four MSS. Dindorf used in editing Scholia Ulpiani, only one, T (Paris.gr. 2940, saee. 13), is a primary witness for Seholia Ulpiani on the Olynthiaes and first Philippic. A recent study of MSS. of Seholia Ulpiani on Or. 24 has brought to light another primary MS. for these orations, Be (Bonon. 3564, saee. 13).4 In addition, Scholia Ulpiani are found in seventeen 1 See j. j.

OF SCHOLIA ULPIANI ON OEM. 1, 3 AND 4 previously unexamined MSS.; it is these which are considered in this article. When compared with T and Be, MSS. scrutinized here will be shown to differ in several respects. Thus when Scholia Ulpiani are cognate with scholia of F (B) Y A, these MSS. agree variously with T Be and with F (B) Y A, and at times these MSS. contain scholia from F (B) Y A while T Be contain only Scholia Ulpiani. In other cases these MSS. contain scholia5 and correct readings found neither in F (B) Y A nor in T Be. In studying these MSS. my objectives have been to establish stemmatic relationships and to determine which MSS. will be of practical use in editing Scholia Ulpiani. 6 I The following MSS. appear to derive from a common exemplar by virtue of conjunctive errors: 7 Ca, Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum 229, saec. 14 Fu, Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, conv.soppr. 168, saec. 14/15 contain separative errors such as the following: 32.27 >'v1TTJpoc Be >'V7TTJp?x.

The editio princeps of Scholia Ulpiani (Editio Aldina, Venice 1503) lacks these scholia, which Dindorf identifies with the siglum P. 6 This article is based on a collation of the following pages of Dindorf's edition: (Or.

Codex Ah is dated to the year 1525 and consists of selected scholia copied by Lazarus Bonamicus,12 who doubtless composed several scholia not known from other sources (e.g. 1.9 vvv ~, ''']''~' ~ '8 I " \ I ~,~ \ I OE KCXLPOC 7JKEL opcx OE 1TWC cx VJLLCXC CXVTOVC 1T1I7Jpwccxe oW TOV KCXTCXIIOYOV 12 See M.

One notable feature of these eight MSS. is that they do have from codex F readings which preserve the truth when T Be are in error. 13 In addition, the samples of text collated for this article have brought to light accepted readings found neither in T Be nor in F: 56.12 a7To 2 Ca Fu Mm.

However obvious this conclusion may be, it is based on a collation of a portion of scholia on Orr. 1, 3 and 4 (see supra n.6), and further collation might well produce readings which derive from a source of equal or greater value than T Be. Moreover, since Ca (saee. 14) is nearly coeval with T Be (saee. 13) and since Ca contains a more complete text ofscholia than its cognate MSS., it seems prudent to collate all scholia in Ca and weigh the res1.llts.

The case for archetypal doublets becomes more cogent in light of 118.18, where MVb alone preserve the accepted reading and T Be Wd variants.

This fact, as well as the correct readings found in M or Vb or both, justify collation of these MSS. * * * * * Contrary to the closed tradition established for Scholia Ulpiani on Demosthenis in Timocratem (Or. 24),21 MSS. of Scholia Ulpiani on the Olynthiacs and first Philippic contain readings and scholia from inde­ pendent recensions. Thus of the eleven MSS. containing Scholia Ulpiani on Or. 24, none contains a text contaminated from indepen­ dent recensions, but an average of 50.6 per cent of the MSS. containing Scholia Ulpiani on Orr. 1, 3 and 4 show signs of contamination. 22 This is all the more remarkable since in both Orr. 24 and 1, 3 and 4 Scholia Ulpiani are often cognate with independent recensions (e.g. A Y F B). Clearly the MSS. considered here reflect a stage in the text tradition of Demosthenic scholia in which interest in comparing Vorlagen for scholia on orations at the beginning of the corpus was greater than for subsequent orations. This is borne out by the fact 20 On Vb, see]. Irigoin, "Les filigranes de Fabriani ... ," Scriptorium 12 (1958) 46,47. 21 See Dilts, op.cit. (supra n.4) 35-50. 22 For Or. I, 48 % (IS of 31 MSS.) are part of the contaminated tradition; for Or. 3, 50 % (12 of24 MSS.); for Or. 4, 54 % (13 of24 MSS.). 66 MSS. OF SCHOLIA ULPIANI ON DEM. 1, 3 AND 4 that contaminated MSS. contain Scholia Ulpiani only for the beginning of the corpus, and other orations (13, 14, 16, 17, 24) lack scholia or contain scholia from other MSS., most notably Y. The terminus ante quem for such philological activity is the end of the thirteenth or the beginning of the fourteenth century, since M is dated saee. 13/14, Vb has been dated to the beginning of the four­ teenth century, and the lost exemplars ofCa and Wd (both saee. 14) were doubtless as old. In other words, these MSS. date from a period coeval with or slightly later than T Bc. Fifteen of the seventeen MSS. discussed in this article have been shown to derive from two hyparchetypes, which can be cited adequately from Ca and Wd. MVb together with Ca Wd represent a branch of the MS. tradition which is independent ofT Bc, as can be seen from the following simplified stemma for Seholia Ulpiani on Orations 1-4: FBYAS , ,./'/ , df\ Ca Wd Af Vb /\ T Be Prior to Dindorf, editions of Seholia Ulpiani were based primarily on the Aldine edition of 1503 with accretions of readings from MSS. in Paris collected by Morelli (1570). Frequently the Aldine edition departs from the paradosis, and one of Dindorf's contributions was to eliminate some of these aberrations; but many remain in his text, regrettably without any account of the paradosis. Moreover Dindorf used an imperfect collation of only one primary MS. (T). 23 A new edition is clearly in order, and for Scholia Ulpiani on the first four orations of Demosthenes it should be based on Bc Ca Wd AfVb as well as T. Making use of these six primary MSS. will result in a text 23 He also used two apographs Paris. gr. 2944 (D) and Paris.gr. 2946 (C). Dindorf (viii) did recognize that D is a copy of T, but he reports to excess readings from C, which preserves an interpolated version of Sclwlia Ulpiani; see Dilts, op.cit. (supra n.4) 42-45.
