Did anyone download images of British Library MS Royal 4.B.iv before their cyberattack?
I'm specifically looking for folio 171va which has [the part I need of] Ep. 8.11, with Sidonius Apollinaris' eulogy of his friend Lampridius.
Thanks! Tina Chronopolous wrote about the glosses there in the Edinburgh Companion to Sidonius Apollinaris (p. 657).
