London, 2020, p. 40, and the studies (1911 and 1936) of the Pervigilium by Cecil Clementi (Pergilium Veneris, The vigil of Venus, edited with facsimiles of the codex Salmasianus and codex Thuaneus, an introduction, translation, apparatus criticus, and explanatory notes. Oxford, 1911; Pervigilium Veneris. The vigil of Venus. Oxford, 1936). See Bib# 9736933 in this collection for Dousa’s original forgery (1592) with the ownership inscription of Scriverius himself.
