    Very frustrating that it does not seem to allow a link to a particular page. Don how long is the whole document - should we screen clip it and post it in a "general" thread in the Vatican Sayings forum? Even if it has a watermark it would probably still be satisfying to see a representation of the whole thing.

    I note that clicking on the "Read More" button on the page you are linking to brings up this:

    And I note that you are referencing (for example) 402r for this page.

    When I look under items 5 and 6 which might seem to apply, I see only Epictetus. I sure hope they didn't mislabel it and I am somehow on the wrong page.

    They got that wrong. It's Epicurus.

    You're not seeing the pages from that link?

    Well it opens up but to the book cover. I was hoping to find somewhere a direct link to the page where the particular text appears.

    Florilegium seu gnomologium Epicureum

    "Epicurean anthology or collection of sayings"

    Fascinating that they translated ἀνθολογία (anthologia)--"Flower words"--directly into Latin as Florilegium--"Flower words" again. In both cases really meaning a collection of poems, epitaphs, maxims or sayings.

    Try this...

    DigiVatLib

    I dug around a little more and it looks like you can link directly to pages (albeit I'm getting a 2-page spread from that link)

    Cool. I'll go back in and change those links in VS1-11 & 81.

    Honestly, I have completely selfish reasons for putting those snippets in the forum threads. I'll never have to look them up when we ask "What does that say?"🤔

    I know it is a lot of work so it never hurts to say "Thank you for all your work Don!!"

  • Cassius July 5, 2025 at 11:03 AM

    Changed the title of the thread from “Source of VS11 in manuscript” to “VS11 - Source of VS11 in manuscript”.
  • Cassius July 5, 2025 at 11:03 AM

    Moved the thread from forum VS 11 - For most men rest is stagnation and activity madness. to forum Epicurus - The "Vatican List" of Sayings.
