It is very possible that by endeavouring to trace the existence of Conventual libraries, about, or at, a certain period, or so much of their fate as is known, in case of their dispersion, that some valuable MSS. may be discovered, either in their proper repositories, or in such as now contain them. That we are under great obligations to such learned and curious persons as in former ages transcribed manuscripts, or caused them to be transcribed, cannot be doubted; and, in like manner as we have now editions of printed books, got up with all the luxury of the Typographic Art, so, there were persons anciently who caused MSS. to be written, decorated, and afterwards bound, &c. with every conceivable degree of splendour:-to those who by extra labour gave an additional inducement to the preservation of MSS. we are under further obligations. such manuscripts to be carried off. At the time of the invention of printing many volumes were printed from MSS. had been used for that purpose, no further furnished by this library, and after they The same fate attended the historical care being taken of them, they were lost. works which were printed in the sixteenth century. The jesuits took away the greater time of the abolition of the order, in 1778, part of the classic authors, which at the were carried to other places, and disposed among other libraries. Notwithstanding these losses and diminutions at different times, this library still existed, as a collection of learned or curious volumes, at the beginning of the seventeenth century; but after that period it is not referred to by any writer, except by Schannat, who speaks of it as a library no longer existing. It is understood that the war of thirty years in Germany, entirely dispersed its feeble remains. Many MSS. once belonging to it, are now in the Vatican at Rome, in the Imperial Library at Vienna, at Cassel, at Wolfenbuttle, at Gottingen, &c. Probably some have found their place in the new library at Fulda. The Catalogue announced in this article contains the list of works as it was at the beginning of the sixteenth century: the more ancient Catalogue being lost. From this document we learn, that this library possessed, even then, several Greek The History of an institution of this and Latin Manuscripts, as for instance-kind has lately been published in Germany, Josephus, 5 vols.-Philo, 1 vol.- The under the title of Catalog und Nachrichten, works of Hippocrates and Galen, in 37 vols. 4.

There is a sense in which it may be said that nothing was more destructive to MSS. than the Art of Printing: when a manuscript was printed, no further care was taken of it. Nothing could be equally injudicious: for, at this moment we deeply regret the loss of many originals, which we would most gladly revise, and collate with a care and diligence, probably a thousand times more active than was formerly bestowed on them. The value of such docuK ments is now better known than ever; and I no researches would be deemed too great, if some of leading authority, might be recovered. To promote such acquisitions, whether by research or by good fortune, is the main object of the present article. Locorum quorundum Homero-Virgilianorum Specimen Alterum posuit C. G.
