Re: VMs: CODEX TAURINENSIS (C.T.)

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jean-Yves,

thanks for your attempt to find out more about 
this manuscript. I do get the impression, though,
that the MS referred to in your first link (the
PDF file) is a different MS.
The one referred to by Boll is 
Codex Taurinensis C VII 15 
and in the Croatian PDF file the discussion is 
about CT G VI/40.
I once wrote (E-mail) to the library asking if the
MS still exists, but never got a reply.

Cheers, Rene
