folio, very clearly written. Contains De Legibus, De Achademicis, De Natura Deorum, De Divinatione, De Officiis. The ms comes nearest to C. below and Oxf. e. In many places it agrees with the readings of Thanner’s edition of 1520. (Italy.)
N. Additional mss 11932, middle of 15th cent. Paper, small folio, from the library of Bishop Butler. Followed by the De Divinatione, De Fato, De Creatione Mundi (Timaeus).

I am indebted to Mr E. M. Thompson for this information, and for the correction of the dates in the Catalogue.)
