ANECDOTA BAROCCIANA. The scholars of the present day have been so indus- trious in collecting Anecdota from the manuscripts of the continental libraries, that little now remains to be gleaned from that quarter. Our own too, I fancy, are pretty nearly exhausted. Yet now and then a scrap may be discovered, which, if it contains unpublished remnants of the great clas- sical writers, cannot but be deserving of notice. The fol- lowing grammatical eooeerpta Trepl ldapj3apLO'juiOv Kal ^oXol- KLdixov come under this description. They are found in a Baroccian MS. of the Bodleian Library, No. 2l6. f. 101, and so far as I know have never been printed, though they may exist in other libraries. Valckenaer published two Opuscula on the same subject at the end of his Ammonius; but they are very different from these. The first fragment here given is very similar to what is said on the same sub- ject in the Greek Grammar of Theodorus Prodromus, a writer who flourished in the twelfth century. The second may perhaps be from Herodian, whose treatise ire pi ^x^- ixarwv occurs in the same MS.^ Ttor Trept Ta?
