_C. I. L._ 207 B. Petronius (_Cena_ 30) suggests the way in which
copies might be set up in private houses. In municipia copies might be
made and given to the town by private persons (so probably were Maff.
and Praen.) or put up by order of the decuriones.
Footnote 30:
Including the Fasti Maffeiani, which is almost complete.
Footnote 31:
No. 20 in _C. I. L._ (Guidizzolenses), found at Guidizzolo between

Menologium rusticum Colotianum, and Men. rusticum Vallense in _C. I.
L._ 280, 281.
Footnote 37:
Merkel’s edition (1841), with its valuable Prolegomena, is

Footnote 38:
_Tristia_, ii. 549.
Footnote 39:
_C. I. L._ 297 foll. (de feriis).

To these we may perhaps add the _Poplifugia_ and _Lucaria_ in July,
the legends about which we can neither accept nor refute.

See Festus, 245; and _Dict. Ant._ s. v. Sacra.
Footnote 42:
Varro’s works, _de Antiquitatibus humanis_ and _divinis_, and many
others, only survive in the fragments quoted by later authors.
Footnote 43:
Paul the deacon was one of the scholars who found encouragement at the
court of Charles the Great. His work is an abridgement of that of
Festus, not of Verrius himself. On Verrius and his epitomators, as
well as on the other writers who used his glosses, see H. Nettleship’s
valuable papers in _Essays in Latin Literature_, p. 201 foll.

Preller’s _Römische Mythologie_ (ed. 3, by H. Jordan) and Marquardt’s
third volume of his _Staatsverwaltung_ (ed. Wissowa) are both
masterpieces, not only in matter but in manner.

Among the others may especially be mentioned Aust, a pupil of Wissowa,
to whom we owe the excellent and exhaustive article on Jupiter; and R.
Peter, the author of the article Fortuna and others, who largely
reflects the views of the late Prof. Reifferscheid of Breslau.
Footnote 48:
‘Hoc paene unum superest sincerum documentum,’ Wissowa, _de Feriis_,
p. 1.
Footnote 49:
This is well illustrated in the _Acta Fratrum Arvalium_ referred to
above.
Footnote 50:
A succinct account of these tendencies will be found in Marquardt, p.
72 foll. There is a French translation of this invaluable volume.
