Besides what occurs in the _Nesselian Catalogue_, the antient _Ambrosian Ms._ of part of _Livy_, which is clear and legible; tho the contrary is asserted by Dr. _Brown_[134]. It is the oldest copy now extant of that author, and tho it ends with _Lib._ XLV; yet there is added at the bottom of the page, _Liber_ XLVI _incipit feliciter_, as if it was extant at that time, which is conceived by _Lambecius_ to be about a thousand years since. The _Ms. German Bible_ of the Emperor _Wenceslaus_, in the margin of which, among other curious pictures relating to the sacred story, he is himself painted in more than fifty places, as washing in his _bagnio_, where he was once prisoner; together with the _bagnio_ girl, who furthered his escape, and whom afterwards he so passionately loved. A copy of the _golden bull_, containing the constitutions of the empire by _Charles_ the fourth, in the first year of his empire. It is now a great curiosity, and was written for the use of the Emperor _Wenceslaus_, but forty years after the original published at _Waremburg_ in 1356, and still reserved at _Augsburg_. An elegant, tho not very antient _Ms._ of _Cicero’s Orations_, with another more antient of _Ovid’s Metamorphoses_. The _Letter_ of the present _Tartar Han_ to the present Emperor, finely wrote on a long roll of silk. A printed book of the _Confucian philosophy_ in the _Sinese_ character and language, published by the Jesuits. A _Ms._ book of _Latin letters_, written by the present Emperor to _Lambecius_, in a neat and elegant stile; in which he always begins with, _Chare Lambeci_. To this is affixed the following _Epigram_ on the present King of France by the said Emperor, attested by _Lambecius_ to have been written by the Emperor in his presence at _Luxemburg_, 17 May 1666. _Bella fugis, sequeris bellas, pugnaeque repugnas,_ _Et bellatori sunt tibi bella tori._ _Imbelles imbellis amas, totusque videris_ _Mars ad opus Veneris, Martis ad arma Venus._ The celebrated _Ms._ of _Jacobus Strada_, antiquary to _Maximilian_ the second, concerning antient medals; consisting of eight volumes in this order: Vol. i. and ii. _De nummis consularibus._ Vol. iii. _De Latinis, a Julio Caesare ad Nervum._ Vol. iv. _De iisdem, a Nervo ad Alexandrum Severum._ Vol. v. _De iisdem, ab Alexandro Severo ad Claudium Secundum._ Vol. vi. _De nummis Graecis a Julio Caesare ad Nervum._ Vol. vii. _De iisdem, a Nervo ad Alexandrum Severum._ Vol. viii. _De iisdem, ab Alexandro Severo ad triginta illos sub Gallieno tyrannos._ This work contains a collection of fair and choice medals, all exquisitely delineated by a pencil, each of which fills a whole page in _folio_; but the explication added by the author shews him to have been more laborious than learned, and discovers many notorious mistakes, as well in the tongues, as the history, to which the medals relate. Two fragments, one in the _Greek_, the other in the _Latin tongue_, written on antient bark.
