<p style='text-align: justify;'> This manuscript contains books 5-7 of the <i>Commentary to Plato's Parmenides</i> by <i> Proclus</i>, with the continuation by George Pachymeres. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'> The manuscript was owned by Thomas Gale, and was copied in 1697 from <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10723198x'> Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, gr. 1836</a>. Two years earlier, in 1695, Thomas Gale had commissioned Humfrey Wanley to copy the first four books of the Commentary from <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='https://medieval.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/manuscript_643'>Oxford, Bodleian Library, Auct. F.3.23</a>: the resultant copy is now <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-TRINITY-O-00005-00010/1'> Trinity College, MS O.5.10</a>. With MS Trinity O.5.11, Gale had therefore a complete text of the Proclus' Commentary to Plato's Parmenides. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'> Dr Erika Elia</p>
