The value and date of Vaticanus graecus 1339 (Bekker's P), which contains many of the works of Aristotle, have been much disputed. Here I want only to argue that at the beginning of the De Partibus Animalium, the first work it contains, it is closely related to Parisinus graecus 1853 (Bekker's E), the great tenth-century manuscript which is one of our major authorities for many of Aristotle's writings.

page 279 note 2 Dain, A., Les Manuscrits (Paris, 1949), 120–4, has shown that some very superior manuscripts—the so-called prototypes—resemble each other closely. Divisions between quaternions come at the same place in the text, and they may have the same pagination and even lineation.Google Scholar
