This document preserves the data set of source texts I identified and compiled while translating the forged Ciceronian Consolatio (Venice, 1583) for Princeton University Press (under the title How to Grieve: An Ancient Guide to the Lost Art of Consolation (2022)). There was no room in the book for these notes, so I published them on the web. Since I have received no further information to enhance or correct the data in the two and a half years since publication, I have decided to archive it here. The main feature is the "secret decoder ring." It reveals just where the forger got his or her or their ideas and expressions. After that comes my summary and analysis of the sources, some historical notes, and finally some literary lagniappe just for fun.
