Twelfth-Century Manuscripts Containing Collections of Commentaries on
and accessus to Classical Authors: In the first part of the article the different
types of collections are analyzed from a codicological point of view to
show how and when they were composed. The transmitted collections of
commentaries, on the works of both single and several authors, are listed. In
the second part three specific examples are used to discuss the extent to
which such collections may help identify the authors of anonymous commentaries.
The third part treats accessus which, separated from the texts
they introduce, may constitute collections. Five such collections are preserved
in manuscripts from Southern Germany and Northern Italy.
