Ambr. A 63 sup., f. 91v

F. 91v transmits the final verse of Callimachus’ First Hymn (Hymn to Zeus) and vv. 1-32 of the second Hymn (Hymn to Apollo). The title of the latter, enclosed between two semeia, written in red ink and in a larger module, is inserted without spacing after the end of the preceding Hymn. Next to the title appears the first gloss, referring to the opening word of the Hymn to Apollo.

Although the Ambrosianus is a copy of the Mutinensis Estensis, this synonymic gloss represents a shortened version of a more extensive scholion and is placed directly on the corresponding lemma. The poetic text is accompanied by five further glosses, written in the interlinear space, and by two scholia.

Unlike the modus operandi observed in other folios of the manuscript containing the Callimachean Hymns, the scribe places the first scholion not next to the first line of text, but beside the corresponding lemma (v. 15), approximately at mid-page in the written area. The scholion, written with a red initial, is positioned beside the poetic text and linked to the corresponding lemma by a reference mark, connecting text and paratext spatially.

This practice is not observed in the second scholion (also with a red initial), which is copied in continuity with the first and without any reference mark; it comments on the noun ἐνδυτόν, occurring in the final verse (v. 32).

The ruled writing space measures 25 [155] 37 × 68 [65] 37 mm.
