The problem seems to be that Baltimore, Walters Art Museum, W. 385 is a MS
of Ovid! I would suggest that the extensive Walters MS collection has
probably been re-catalogued since BHL was compiled. I would suggest that
you need a access to a modern catalogue of the Walters MSS that gives a
concordance to old shelfmarks.
