Very frustrating that it does not seem to allow a link to a particular page. Don how long is the whole document - should we screen clip it and post it in a "general" thread in the Vatican Sayings forum? Even if it has a watermark it would probably still be satisfying to see a representation of the whole thing.

how long is the whole document
Good question. ....counting... 7 pages: 401v to 404v

I note that clicking on the "Read More" button on the page you are linking to brings up this:
And I note that you are referencing (for example) 402r for this page.
When I look under items 5 and 6 which might seem to apply, I see only Epictetus. I sure hope they didn't mislabel it and I am somehow on the wrong page.

Well it opens up but to the book cover. I was hoping to find somewhere a direct link to the page where the particular text appears.

Florilegium seu gnomologium Epicureum
"Epicurean anthology or collection of sayings"
Fascinating that they translated ἀνθολογία (anthologia)--"Flower words"--directly into Latin as Florilegium--"Flower words" again. In both cases really meaning a collection of poems, epitaphs, maxims or sayings.

Cool. I'll go back in and change those links in VS1-11 & 81.
Honestly, I have completely selfish reasons for putting those snippets in the forum threads. I'll never have to look them up when we ask "What does that say?"🤔

I know it is a lot of work so it never hurts to say "Thank you for all your work Don!!"
