Thomas Gaisford to Peter Elmsley

Parte de Westminster School's Archive and Collections

Addressed to PE c/o Donat Orsi (bankers) in Florence - received 13th March. Florence library - ms. of Sophoclean scholia. Asks PE to examine 2 mss. of Suidas (Laurentian library and Badia Fiorentina) - get someone to collate half a dozen pages, then decide which deserves a full collation. Costs of collation (900 francs for a similar job in Paris). Problem in Proclus on Hesiod - can PE find a ms.? Also Scholion on Theognis. (Answers to both written in by PE.) Recommends mss. in library of Badia Fiorentina, based on work by Bernard de Montfaucon. Provost of Oriel and political pamphlets. Blomfield's Agamemnon - very good, though much remains to be done. PE's election as select preacher.

Thanks PE for his transcription of the Suidas ms., and asks him to check in the Vatican, if he visits on his way out or back, if there are 2 other mss. Enquires after 2 mss. of Stobaeus in the Palazzo Capodimonte in Naples, if PE finds time - perhaps he could consult a catalogue by Harles before leaving London. News of his own collating and publishing. Why has Bekker gone to Italy? - anything he does is exciting. Recommends an acquaintance in Naples.

Blomfield a common acquaintance. Thanks PE for the promise of some comments on his Hippolytus. Thanks PE for promising to contribute to the new journal proposed by M and B. Invites PE to dinner the following week. Confesses to being the anonymous author of the article in the Quarterly Review referring to plagiarism - admits to being wrong, both in his then conclusions and in having written thus. Youthful devotion to Porson to blame. (v. 143 & 144, & Horsfall pp455ff on whole matter.)

Thanks PE for suggestions for 2nd ed. of Hipp. Ed. of Photius from Porson's copy. Sale price of Porson's Adversaria. Pseudonymous article in Gentleman's Magazine by E H Barker - much abuse of same (plus mention of Valpy and Stephanus). Brevity of reviews in Museum Criticum. May turn to the Alcestis.

Warm praise of Heraclidae (1st 7 sheets thereof) - compared to Porson's Hecuba. Porson's books (inc. Brubach, with Milton's notes) purchased by the college (Trinity?) and in JHM's rooms. PE to come to Cambridge and meet JHM for the 1st time. Classical Journal - Valpy has little judgement - Dobree and Tate condemn it - dubious allies, inc. Barker and Parr. Expects the Museum Criticum to make a loss for the 1st year or so. (though Murray will pay all the expenses). JHM will notice PE's Sophocles in the Edinburgh Review, and Blomfield will notice his OT in the Museum Criticum.
