Remarks on the Vatican Glossary 3321. A. E. HOUSMAN Notes on the Vatican Glossary 3321 (ed. Goetz). H. NETTLESHIP . THE JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY. SENECA IN ALAIN OF LILLE. MANY years ago, having occasion to read the works of Alanus de Insulis (Migne, Patrologia cx, cf. Hist. Lit. de la France XVI), I wrote on the fly-leaf of my copy of Haase's Seneca passages professing to be quotations from that author. Most of them certainly are taken from extant works of Seneca, and, as I have not anywhere found in editions or dissertations any trace of acquaintance with Alanus, I think it worth while to call public attention to the question. If Alanus used works of Seneca now lost, we may hope to recover other fragments from contemporary or earlier or even later writers. Alanus, Summa de arte praedicandi 3 col. 118a Migne: Quia ut ait Seneca: haec in quibus delectatur uulgus, tenuem habent et superfusoriam uoluptatem; et quodcumque uiuentium (r. inuecticium) gaudium est, fundamento caret. The word superfusorius is found in the Old Latin, Exod. xxxviii 17 Lugd., but is not likely to have been used by Seneca. In Seneca ep. 23 § 5 we read haec quibus d. u., t. h. ac perfusoriam u., et q. inuecticium g. e., f. c. ibid. 7 col. 126a: Seneca ait: maxima iactura est, quae per neglegentiam fit. This is from ep. 1 § 1 turpissima tamen est iactura, quae per neglegentiam fit. Journal of Philology. VOL. XX. 1 |
