THE HERSFELDENSIS AND THE FULDENSIS OF AMMIANUS MARCELLINUS: A RECONSIDERATION
Gavin Kelly|Justin Stover
The only two authoritative manuscripts of Ammianus Marcellinus to survive the present day were produced in Germany first half ninth century: Vaticanus Latinus 1873 from Fulda (V), and a fragmentary manuscript Hersfeld now preserved Kassel (M). This article challenges consensus that V is copy M. Taking into account recently uncovered fragments M (new transcriptions which are offered Appendix), we argue both copies same damaged original, discuss implications for editing our understanding Carolingian scholarship.
