„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 praestare 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 bibliothecae 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 nullum 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 illuminated 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. Editus 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 litteraria 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 editions, the 17th-18th centuries commentary material of critical editions are particularly interesting in supplementing the history of the individual codices.
