Pièce 78 - Letter from F. G. Kenyon of the British Museum to Frazer

1 item

British Museum - They have not one but fifteen mss. of the 'Fasti'; the oldest is Harl.2737, late 12th or early 13th century, five others are 13th century, remainder are of the 15th; the price quoted for the Vatican mss. is absurd, is he not sure they meant lire, 'you could buy them for less', Mussolini hasn't control of the Vatican but the Pope and Prefetto would be sympathetic with the needs of scholars. Accompanied by the envelope.
