I have been requested to examine a MS. collection, bound in two volumes, and entitled MS. Inscriptions collected in Greece by C. R. Cockerell, 1810–14. A fuller description of the contents is added on the title page, apparently by the hand of the collector himself—‘Inscriptions collected in various parts of Greece by C. R. Cockerell, from the year 1810–14; they were copied from the original manuscripts in this form by Signor Amati, in Rome, in 1815, and examined by Mr. Akerblad, who made all the notes and corrections in red ink. Mr. Walpole has made copies of those marked “Cd.,” and has noted those already in print’. It is evident, therefore, that we have here documents of considerable importance, especially as all trace of the original manuscripts referred to has been lost. Signor Amati, the transcriber, seems to have done his work with great care and accuracy, even the forms of letters being, in most cases, faithfully preserved. A comparison with other independent transcriptions from the same originals will soon show that we may rely on his copying; where mistakes occur, they are almost always such as would arise from indistinctness on the stone itself. This statement is of importance, for other transcribers, whether independent or immediately deriving their material from this book, often show a carelessness which can easily be corrected by a reference to it, and which has, in many cases, affected the copies preserved in the Corpus itself.
