87] This cut is given in _Antiquitatum et Annalium Trevirensium libri_ XXV. Auctoribus RR. PP. Soc. Jesu P. Christophoro Browero, et P. Jacobo Masenio. 2 v. fol. Leodii, 1670. It is headed: Schema voluminum in bibliothecam (sic) ordine olim digestorum Noviomagi in loco Castrorum Constantini M. hodiedum in lapide reperto excisum. See also C. G. Schwarz, _De Ornamentis Librorum_, 4to, Lips. 1756, pp. 86, 172, 231, and Tab. II., fig. 4. I learnt this reference from Sir E. M. Thompson's _Handbook of Greek and Latin Palaeography_, ed. 2, 1894, p. 57, _note_. The Director of the Museum at Treves informs me that all the antiquities discovered at Neumagen were destroyed in the seventeenth century. [88] See above, p. 11. [89] _Ibid._, p. 12.

VII, Pref. [Aristophanes] e certis amiariis infinita volumina eduxit. [93] _Digesta Justiniani Augusti_, ed. Mommsen. 8vo. Berlin, 1870. Vol. II. p. 88. Book XXXII. 52.

Parieti eius [cubiculi mei] in bibliothecae speciem armarium insertum est quod non legendos libros sed lectitandos capit. [97] I should not have known of the existence of this sarcophagus had it not been figured, accurately enough on the whole, in _Le Palais de Scaurus_, by Mazois, published at Paris in 1822. The sarcophagus had passed through the hands of several collectors since Mazois figured it, and I had a long and amusing search for it. [98] _Mittheilungen des K. D. Archaeologischen Instituts Rom_, 1900, Band XV. p. 171. Der Sarkophag eines Arztes. [99] The inscription is printed in full in _Antike Bilderwerke in Rom ... beschrieben von Friedrich Matz., und F. von Duhn_, 3 vols., 8vo. Leipzig, 1881, Vol. II. p. 346, No. 3127^*.

It would appear from some curious drawings on glass figured by Garrucci, _ut supra_ Pl. 490, that the Jews used presses of similar design in their synagogues to contain the rolls of the law.
