In the preface to their edition of the Imagines of Philostratus Minor Schenkl and Reisch mention scholia of Tzetzes (presumably Joannes Tzetzes) on the Imagines of the elder Philostratus in Royal MS. 16 D XII of the British Museum. Their statement is repeated without comment in the histories of Greek literature of Schmid-Stählin and Sinko, as well as by Solmsen in his article on the Philostrati in Pauly-Wissowa, R.E. 20. 174. 59 ff. Wendel, on the other hand, in his recent exhaustive treatment of Tzetzes in R.E. 2te Reihe 7. 1959–2012, knows nothing of the London manuscript, but says (col. 2005. 27 ff.): ‘Nur in den jungen Hs. Ambr. D 213 inf. (16. Jhdt.) werden die Philostratos-Scholien T. zugeschrieben, die sonst anonym oder als Eigentum des Moschopulos und Planudes überliefert sind.’ It is perhaps worth looking into the matter a little more closely.

page 198 note 1 Darmarios observes in his colophon to this manuscript that the text is 
. Omont in his Inventaire des mss. grecs el latins donnés à Saint-Marc de Venise par le Cardinal Bessarion en 1468, Paris, 1894Google Scholar, records two manuscripts containing collections of epigrams: No. 373 ‘Item magna moralia Aristotelis et eiusdem moralia ad Eudemum, epigrammata diversa diversorum, in versu, pulchra, et in latino eloquio sanctus Thomas de ente et essentia, partim in pergameno et partim in papyro.’ This manuscript is not traceable in Zanetti and Bongiovanni's catalogue, and has probably been split up into its component parts. No. 456, ‘Item liber epigrammatum in pergameno’, is to be identified with cod. Ven. Marc. 481, Maximus Planudes' autograph of the Planudean Anthology, dated at Constantinople in September 1301. It does not contain scholia. It is therefore impossible at present to identify the exemplar from which Darmarios copied the London manuscript. And since he had already made two copies of the same scholia in Madrid three years earlier, it is possible that the reference to the library of Bessarion is mere mystification.
