"The Greek epigrams have come down to us in two principal collections, the Palatine Anthology, so called from its single manuscript, Palatinus 23, at Heidelberg, and the Planudean Anthology, made by Maximus Planudes in 1301. Together they provide some 4150 epigrams. The two collections are ultimately derived from the same sources, and in their principal contents coincide, though the Palatine Anthology contains about 1200 epigrams not in the Planudean, and the latter about 400 not in the Palatine.
Throughout most of the period embraced by the present study only the Planudean was read. The Palatine manuscript was discovered by Salmasius in 1606/7, but was not committted to the press til near the end of the eighteenth century. While the new material it contained was well known to many scholars from manuscript apographa, for the ordinary reader of Greek the Anthology continued from the fifteenth to the end of the eighteenth century to mean the Planudean collection. The Palatine arrangement was finally adopted only in Friedrich Jacobs' edition of 1813-4: since then the Planudean Anthology was disused. In a sense, therefore, we are here concerned with the whole life of the Planudean collection.
For many of the epigrams contained in the Anthology, the Anthology is not the only source. Epigrams are freely quoted by Greek writers of every period, beginning with Herodotus, and, being short, are commonly quoted entire. A study of the influence of the Greek epigrams must attempt to control  these subsidiary sources, and such an attempt is made in the following pages. Further, a sketch of the influence of Greek epigrams on Latin literature has been added, since it is often a Roman copy, not the Greek original, that forms the immediate source of modern imitation. This indispensable background I have tried to complete by as full an enumeration as I am at present able to make of the existing manuscripts of epigrams." (Introduction)
