Undated
Pieces with no legible date. They are part of the record but cannot be placed on the lifeline.
“Animula vagula blandula, / hospes comesque corporis, / quae nunc abibis in loca / pallidula rigida nudula, / nec, ut soles, dabis iocos?" Are these the words, or are they like the words of Hadrian?”
