Description: Manuscript codex. Orations. Publius Cornelius Sulla was implicated along with Catiline for the insurrection at the beginning of 62 BCE. Through the efforts of Cicero he was exonerated from all charges. Collation: 25 quires: 24 consisting of 10 leaves, the last of one. Vertical catchwords on last leaf of each quire. No signatures. Decoration: One full page illumination with three-quarter border of interlaced white vines set off by blue, rose, and green, with cherubs, birds, butterfly, and florets. Inside the raised gold initial 'Q' is a medallion portrait of Cicero (in blue robe and pink cowl and cap) holding a book. There are scattered clusters of dots of raised gold, outlined in extremely thin penwork. In the lower margin, there is a medallion which held a coat of arms, now obliterated. 37 large initials in gold and white vine against blue, rose, and green, at first lines of orations. Binding: 19th century parchment, gauffered gilt edges in lattice pattern. Spine title in brown ink: M. Tullii Ciceronis Opera. Pink and blue head and tail bands. One paper flyleaf at front and back. Script: Humanistic minuscule in brown ink, rubrication at chapter openings and page titles. Inconsistent use of long 's' (initial, medial, and final letter). Short ascenders and descenders.
