Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 7 of 11: Demosthenes and Cicero, Alexander and Caesar As in the preceding volumes of this series, agreement between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875) and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) editions of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text. Any preference of one to the other, and any important departure from both, have been indicated. An abridged account of the manuscripts of Plutarch may be found in the Introduction to the first volume. None of the Uves presented in this volume are contained in the two oldest and most authoritative manuscripts - the Codex Sangermanensis (S) and the Codex Seitenstettensis (S), or in the excellent Paris manuscript No. 1676 (F). Their text therefore rests principally on the Paris manuscripts Nos. 1671, 1673, and 1674 (ACD), although in a few instances weight has been given to readings from the Codex Matritensis (M), on the authority of the collations of Charles Graux and his editions of the Demosthenes and Cicero.
