Physical Description
Condition
History
Provenance and Acquisition
This manuscript was reported as being lost (see 27893 on p. 385 of the Summary Catalogue) but was then found unbound in the Gough Room in 1884. The identification with the 'Homeri Batrachomyomachia MS.' manuscript was made because the title 'Ὁμηροῦ Βατραχομυομαχία' is prominent on fol. 5 (see item 2 above)
'Homeri Batrachomyomachia MS.' bought for 15s. from James Fletcher, bookseller of Oxford, in 1774
