_Phoenix--by Lactantius._--"Seleucus" is informed, in answer to his
query in No. 13. p. 203., that he will find the Latin poem of the
_Phoenix_, in hexameters _and pentameters_, in that scarce little
volume, edited by Pithaeus, and published at Paris in 1590 (see Brunet),
_Epigrammata et Poematia Vetera, &c._ (of which I am happy to say I
possess a most beautiful copy), where it is headed "Phoenix, Incerti
Auctoris;" and again at the end of the edition of _Claudian_ by P.
Burmann Secundus Amsterdam, 1760), with the following title,--_Lactantia
Elegia, de Phoenice; vulgo Claudiano ad scripta, &c._, where also
another correspondent, "R.G." (in No. 15. p. 235.), will find much
information as to who was the author of the poem.
