[Footnote 87: See the description of this original in
Brenckman, (Hist. Pandect. Florent. l. i. c. 2, 3, p. 4 -
17, and l. ii.) Politian, an enthusiast, revered it as the
authentic standard of Justinian himself, (p. 407, 408;) but
this paradox is refuted by the abbreviations of the
Florentine Ms. (l. ii. c. 3, p. 117 - 130.) It is composed
of two quarto volumes, with large margins, on a thin
parchment, and the Latin characters betray the band of a
Greek scribe.]
