Gaius Valerius Catullus, Poem LVII, beginning

Vesper adest, iuvenes, consurgite: Vesper Olympo
Exspectata diu vix tandem lumina tollit.
Surgere iam tempus, iam pinguis linquere mensas,
Iam veniet virgo, iam dicetur Hymenaeus.
Hymen o Hymenaee, Hymen ades o Hymenaee!

Cernitis, innuptae, iuvenes? consurgite contra:
Nimirum Oetaeos ostendit Noctifer ignes.
Sic certest; viden ut perniciter exsiluere?
Non temere exsiluere, canent quod vincere par est.
Hymen o Hymenaee, Hymen ades o Hymenaee!

Non facilis nobis, aequales, palma parata est:
Aspicite, innuptae secum ut meditata requirunt.
Non frustra meditantur: habent memorabile quod sit.
Nec mirum, penitus quae tota mente laborant.
Nos alio mentes, alio divisimus aures:
Iure igitur vincemur: amat victoria curam.
Quare nunc animos saltem convertite vestros;
Dicere iam incipient, iam respondere decebit.
Hymen o Hymenaee, Hymen ades o Hymenaee!

...

My translation in hendecasyllables

...
They note everything worth remembering and do not practice in vain,
let it not surprise us, for their minds are focused on the work.
But if we distract our ears and scatter our thoughts,
by law they will defeat us, for victory loves those who care.
...

The complete poem can be consulted in Latin and Spanish in [Alonso Gamo, J. M.; 2004; page 242] and in Latin in [Gaio da Legnago, A. del; 1375; reverse of folio 17].

Manuscript made in Italian Gothic minuscule, usually called «rotunda». The identification of Antonio del Gaio da Legnago as the scribe was made by Giuseppe Billanovich. On parchment, initial folio plus 36 double-sided folios (72 pages) measuring 24.0 x 16.5 centimeters, with a written area of 16.0 x 10.5 centimeters. Antonio del Gaio da Legnago left the manuscript incomplete, which was finished by a second hand that also made numerous corrections.

The recto of folio 1 begins with the phrase «Catulli Veronensis liber incipit» and ends with a shield of azure with nine gold figures, four, two, two, one, with the 5^th, 6^th, and 9^th in the tip being pear-shaped and the others more oval, which I do not identify although they could be stones or islands. On the recto of folio 36 appears the date 1375.

Catullus's poem 62 is found between the verso of folio 17 and the recto of folio 18, along with the phrase «amat victoria curam».

Verse 14 is missing

On the verso of folio 17, «amat victoria curam» is found in line 15 of the poem and not in line 16 because Antonio del Gaio da Legnago seems to have completely skipped verse 14 «Nec mirum, penitus quae tota mente laborant». I have always thought that the absence of this verse could help establish a possible path of manuscript copies of Catullus's poetry.

Hand pointing at the motto

An interesting detail is that on this verso of folio 17, there is a painting of what in heraldry is known as a «gloved hand». It was painted later, and it points with its index finger directly at the phrase «amat victoria curam».
