„Heidelbergae primum excusus apud lacobum Knoblocherum 1489,2°° post ex
Schürerianis Argentorati 1514. 4.2 ... Et cum nec Heidelbergensis, nec Argentoratensis
editio in bibliopoliis amplius reperiretur, libellum hunc cum ob utilitatem, guam praes¬
tare potest, interire nollen, recudi curavi et Tibi, benevole lector, offero. Fide autem
in hoc secutus codicis manu exarati, quem servat Bibliotheca nostra [sc. Jenensis].
Non eleganter solum in membrana scriptus iste codex, litteris initialbus variegatis
coloribus pictis, sed et ab initio auro ornatus. In fine primae paginae adparet insigne
Matthiae Corvini, Hungariae Regis, variegatis coloribus auroque distinctum, quod nos
cartiores reddit, parte molim constituisse hunc codicem istius celeberrimae bibliothe¬
cae Budensis veteris, post a Turcis direptae et quidem testatur Lambecius Bibl. Caes.
lib. II. c. 1X. p.m. 995.2°° plerosque Budensis bibliothecae codices hisce Cor vini gentiliciis
insignibus exornatos fuisse, ut inde nostrum codicem ex eadem esse bibliotheca nul¬
lum amplius superesse possit dubium."?”
It is clear from this quotation that Struve knows that the 1489 edition is the
first and that its text is not based on the Jena Codex. Surely it would be odd if any
editions before the death of Matthias had used this, especially since this codex
could have belonged to Janus Pannonius. According to Csaba Csapodi, it was illu¬
minated in Buda." Despite this information, the authors of Museographia in 1727
write the following in the chapter titled Rara in Bibliotheca Jenensi monstrantur?”
„Baptistae Guarini Lliber] de Ordine docendi et studendi ex Bibliotheca Budensi. Edi¬
tus est hic liber Heidelbergae 1492 etc. edi curabit eum D[ominus] Struvius. Insigne
Corvini in prima extat pagina. Der Autor weiset, wie man die Scriptores Classicos
durchgehen solle”
Johann Friedrich Junger (1680-1754) the publisher of Struve’s Historia litter¬
aria made specific reference to the Guarino Codex when annotating the text on
the library of Jena:
„Baptistae Guarini ad nobilem adolescentem Maffeum Gambaram, de ordine docendi
ac studendi libellus, ab eodem lence, a. 1704. in 82 divulgatus, qui pars olim fuit
Bibliothecae Budensis, indicantibus id Regis Corvini insignibus, elegantissime pictus."?1
Further research will certainly reveal many more similar cases. The text edi¬
tions, the 17th-18th centuries commentary material of critical editions are par¬
ticularly interesting in supplementing the history of the individual codices.
