²ÝÁñÊÓƵ

What is now kept in a protective blue box in ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library, at shelfmark MS 298, is actually two manuscripts in one, plus later additions—one, written at the beginning of the 13th century which contained the Iliad, and another, written a century later with Homeric exegetical material. At some point in the 15th century, a group of—at least two—scribes decided to merge the manuscripts.
