Annotations by William Romaine Newbold in the margins or in interleaved copies of published works of Greek and Latin literature, primarily philosophical texts. Included are two items with works by Plato, including Timaeus (Box 4, 5); two volumes of Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics (Box 3); and two collections edited by Hermann Diels of fragments from Pre-Socratic philosophers (Box 1). Other works are by Cicero (De natura deorum; Box 2), Lucretius (De rerum natura; Box 2), Plotinus (Enneads; Box 5), and Iamblichus (De mysteriis; Box 3), as well as Plutarch on the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris (Box 6), and a collection of Orphic texts (Box 6). Newbold's annotations are in English with some use of Greek and Latin; in the case of one volume that contains Christian apologetic texts by Aristides and Athenagoras (Box 1), the annotations include extensive passages in Syriac transcribed from the Spicilegium syriacum.
