The purpose of the article is to examine some marginal notes which accompany the text of the Ab Urbe condita libri of the roman historian Livy, in the ms. Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc. Class. 35 (containing the third Decas). According to assumptions made by some scholars (as Hartmut Hoffmann, Birger Munk Olsen and Marina Passalacqua etc.), the manuscript is belonged to Emperor Otto III and to his magister Gerbert of Aurillac. The hand which has introduced in the Livian text some corrections and annotations can be identified with that of Gerbert, who was a fine collector and corrector of classical texts.

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to examine some marginal notes which accompany the text of the Ab Urbe condita libri of the roman historian Livy, in the ms. Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, Msc. Class. 35 (containing the third Decas). According to assumptions made by some scholars (as Hartmut Hoffmann, Birger Munk Olsen and Marina Passalacqua etc.), the manuscript is belonged to Emperor Otto III and to his magister Gerbert of Aurillac. The hand which has introduced in the Livian text some corrections and annotations can be identified with that of Gerbert, who was a fine collector and corrector of classical texts.
