Matteo Luigi Canonici (1727-1805)
The manuscripts collected by Matteo Luigi Canonici, a Venetian bibliophile and collector, were inherited in 1805 (Matteo's death) by his brother Giuseppe Canonici. On Giuseppe's death in 1807, the manuscripts were divided between Giovanni Perissinotti and Girolamo Cardina. From 1817, the Bodleian Library was concerned with buying most of them.cf. Hunt- Madan, A summary catalogue, IV, 313-314..
Catena in Psalmos et in Odas.
| The manuscript is defective at the beginning and at the end. Presents the Psalms accompanied by a catenary comment (the comment follows the text). The names of the exegetes are abbreviated and placed in the margin of the comment. There are some miniatures and decorative friezes. The titles and letters are indexed. Some marginal notes and some probationes pennae are visible.
