  <abstract>"A Sixth-Century Fragment of the Letters of Pliny the Younger" by Lowe and Rand is a scholarly publication centered on a recently discovered manuscript fragment written in the early sixth century. The work primarily discusses the paleographical and textual significance of this fragment, which contains letters from Pliny the Younger, offering insights into classical literature and the history of manuscript preservation.  The opening of this publication introduces the significance of the manuscript, which consists of six vellum leaves containing portions of Pliny's letters. The authors detail the manuscript's historical journey to its current location at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, emphasizing its authenticity and the context surrounding its discovery. The initial segment focuses on the characteristics of the manuscript, including its size, condition, and the method of writing, providing valuable information for scholars studying classical texts and the evolution of manuscript traditions.
