A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. I.

by Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener

(1) Manuscripts of the Gospels.

*1. (Act. 1, Paul. 1.) Basiliensis A. N. iv. 2 at Basle [x, Burgon xii or xiii], 7-3/8 × 4-½, ff. 297 (38); prol., pict., τίτλ., syn., ἀναγν. in Acts and Epp. by later hand. Hebrews last in Paul. Gospels bound up last of all. Among the illuminations were what have been said to be pictures of the Emperor Leo the Wise [886-911] and his son Constantine Porphyrogenitus, but all the beautiful miniatures were stolen prior to 1860-2, except one before St. John's Gospel. Its later history is the same as that of Cod. E of the Gospels: it was known to Erasmus; it was borrowed by Reuchlin, a few extracts given by Bengel [pg 191] (Bas. γ), collated by Wetstein, and recently in the Gospels by C. L. Roth and Tregelles, who have compared their results. Our facsimile (No. [23]) gives an excellent notion of the elegant and minute style of writing, which is fully furnished with breathings, accents, and ι ascript. The initial letters are gilt, and on the first page of each Gospel the full point is a large gilt ball. In the Gospels the text adheres frequently to the uncials Codd. אB, BL and such cursives as 118, 131, and especially 209 (Insp. by Burgon, Hoskier, Greg.).

2. Basil. A. N. iv. 1 [xv or earlier], 7-¾ × 6, ff. 248 (20), subscr., κεφ. t., κεφ. (not John), τίτλ., Am., is the inferior manuscript chiefly used by Erasmus for his first edition of the N. T. (1516), with press corrections by his hand, and barbarously scored with red chalk to suit his pages. The monks at Basle had bought it for two Rhenish florins (Bengel, Wetstein, Burgon, Hoskier, Greg.).

3. (Act. 3, Paul. 3.) Cod. Corsendonck. [xii], 4to, 9-¾ × 7, ff. 451 (24), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., once belonging to a convent at Corsendonck near Turnhout, now in the Imperial Library at Vienna (Forlos. 15, Kollar. 5). It was lent to Erasmus for his second edition in 1519, as he testifies on the first leaf (Alter). It had been collated before Alter by J. Walker for Bentley, when in “the Dominican Library, Brussels.” This collation is unpublished (Trin. Coll. B. xvii. 34): Ellis, Bentleii Critica Sacra, p. xxix (Greg.).

4. Cod. Regius 84 [xii], 7-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 212 (27), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., in the Royal Library at Paris (designated RI by Tischendorf), was rightly recognized by Le Long as Robert Stephen's γ´ (see Chap. V). Mill notices its affinity to the Latin versions and the Complutensian edition (N. T. Prol. § 1161); mut. in Matt. ii. 9-20; John i. 49-iii. 11; forty-nine verses. It is clumsily written and contains syn. from some Fathers (Scholz, Greg.).

5. (Act. 5, Paul. 5.) Paris, National (Library), Greek 106 [xii or later], is Stephen's δ´: 8-¼ × 6-1/8, ff. 348 (28), prob., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. Carefully written and full of flourishes (Wetstein, Scholz, Greg.).

6. (Act. 6, Paul. 6.) Par. Nat. Gr. 112 [xi or later], is Stephen's ε´; in text it much resembles Codd. 4, 5, and 75. 12mo, 5-½ × 4-1/8, ff. 235, prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn. with St. Chrysostom's Liturgy, men. (Wetstein, Griesbach, Scholz). This exquisite manuscript is written in characters so small, that some pages require a glass to read them. Scholz collated Matt., Mark i-iv, John vii, viii (Greg.).

7. Par. Nat. Gr. 71 [xi], is Stephen's ϛ´. 8 × 6-¼, ff. 186 (29), prol., syn., Carp., Eus. t., pict., τίτλ. with metrical paraphrase, Am., Eus., men., very full lect. In style not unlike Cod. 4, but neater (Wetst., Scholz, Abbé Martin, Greg.).

8. Par. Nat. Gr. 49 [xi], 11-¼ × 8-½, ff. 199 (22), two columns, proved by Mr. Vansittart to be Stephen's ζ´[227]: beautifully written in two columns [pg 192] on the page. Carp., Eus. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., men., Am., Eus., syn. (Wetst., Scholz, Greg.).

9. Par. Nat. Gr. 83 [a.d. 1167, when “Manuel Porphyrogenitus was ruler of Constantinople, Amauri of Jerusalem, William II of Sicily”: this note (derived from Wetstein) is now nearly obliterate], 9-¼ × 6-¾, ff. 298 (20), is probably Stephen's ιβ´. Carp., Eus. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn., mut., men., subscr., στίχ. (first leaf of St. John). It once belonged to Peter Stella. The style is rather barbarous, and ornamentation peculiar (Kuster's Paris 3, Scholz, Greg.).

10. Par. Nat. Gr. 91 [xiii or later], 7-½ × 5-7/8, ff. 275 (24), given in 1439 to a library of Canons Regular at Verona by Dorotheus Archbishop of Mitylene, when he came to the Council of Florence. Scholz tells us that it was “antea Joannis Huraultii Boistallerii.” Griesbach mistook this copy for Reg. 95, olim 2865/3, which is Kuster's Paris 1 and Wetstein's Cod. 10, being Cod. 285 of Scholz and our own list (Burgon, Guardian, Jan. 15, 1873). Carp., Eus. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men. (Griesbach, Scholz, Greg.).

11. Par. Nat. Gr. 121-2 [xii or earlier], in two small volumes, 6-3/8 × 3-5/8, neatly written, ff. 230 and 274 (16), Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. It also once belonged to Teller (Kuster's Paris 4, Scholz, Greg.).

12. Par. Nat. Gr. 230 [xi], 10-3/8 × 8-1/8, 294 (21), prol., pict., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., with a commentary, that on St. Mark being Victor's of Antioch (Greg.).

13. Par. Nat. Gr. 50 [xii], 9-¼ × 7-½, ff. 170 (29), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. lect., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., is Kuster's Paris 6, who says that it supplied him with more various readings than all the rest of his Paris manuscripts put together. This, like Codd. 10, 11, once belonged to Teller: it is not correctly written. Syn., mut. in Matt. i. 1-ii. 20; xxvi. 33-53; xxvii. 26-xxviii. 10; Mark i. 20-45; John xxi. 3-25; 163 verses (Kuster, Wetstein, Griesbach, Begtrup in 1797). This manuscript was collated in 1868 by Professor W. H. Ferrar, Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin [d. 1871], who regarded Codd. 13, 69, 124, 346 as transcripts of one archetype, which he proposed to restore by comparing the four copies together. His design was carried out by Professor T. K. Abbott, Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College. For facsimiles of them all, &c., see “Collation of Four Important Manuscripts of the Gospels,” &c. Dublin, 1877 (Greg.).

14. Par. Nat. Gr. 70 [xii or xiii, Greg. x], 6-7/8 × 4-5/8, ff. 392 (17), once Cardinal Mazarin's; was Kuster's Paris 7. A facsimile of this beautiful copy, with round conjoined minuscule letters, regular breathings and [pg 193] accents, is given in the “Paléographie Universelle,” No. 78, and in Montfaucon, Pal. Gr., p. 282. Mut. Matt. i. 1-9; iii. 16-iv. 9. Κεφ. t., pict., Paschal Canon, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (Kuster, Scholz).

15. Par. Nat. Gr. 64 [x], 7-¼ × 5-5/8, ff. 225 (23), Carp., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., men., is Kuster's Paris 8. Eus. t., syn., pict. very superb: the first three pages are written in gold, with exquisite miniatures, four on p. 2, four on p. 3, Burgon. (Kuster, Scholz, Greg.)

16. Par. Nat. Gr. 54, formerly 1881 [xiv], 12-3/8 × 10, ff.?, 2 cols., Eus. t. (Latin), pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (Matt. and Mark), lect., subscr.; once belonged to the Medici; it has a Latin version in parts; mut. Mark xvi. 6-20. Eus. t., syn., pict. (Wetstein, Scholz). This gorgeous and “right royal” copy was never quite finished, but is unique in respect of being written in four colours, vermilion, lake, blue, and black, according to the character of the contents (Burgon, Greg.).

17. Par. Nat. Gr. 55 [xvi], 11-¾ × 8-¼, ff. 353 (25), 2 cols., has the Latin Vulgate version: it was neatly written, not by George Hermonymus the Spartan (but see Greg.), as Wetstein guesses, but by a Western professional scribe, Burgon. It once belonged to Cardinal Bourbon. Syn., pict. very elegant, lect. (Wetstein, Griesbach, Scholz).

18. (Act. 113, Paul. 132, Apoc. 51.) Par. Nat. Gr. 47, formerly 2241 [a.d. 1364], 11-½ × 8-3/8, ff. 444 (23), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., syn., men.; bought in 1687, and written at Constantinople. It is one of the few copies of the whole New Testament (see p. [72], note), and was given by Nicephorus Cannabetes to the monastery τοῦ ζωοδότου χριστοῦ ἐν τῷ τοῦ Μυζιθρᾶ (Misitra) τῆς Λακεδαίμονος κάστρῳ. Two syn. between the Pauline Epistles and the Apocalypse, psalms, hymns (Scholz, Greg., Reiche).

19. Par. Nat. Gr. 189, formerly 1880 [xii], 12-½ × 9-¼, ff. 387, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., Wetstein's 1869, once belonged to the Medici, pict., with Victor's commentary on St. Mark, a catena to St. John, and scholia to the other Gospels. In marvellous condition, with much gold ornamentation (Scholz, Greg.).

20. Par. Nat. Gr. 188, formerly 1883 [xii], 13-1/8 × 9-1/8, a splendid folio, ff. 274, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ.—all by second hand (Greg.), brought from the East in 1669. It is beautifully written, and contains catenae, Victor's commentary on St. Mark, and other treatises enumerated by Scholz, who collated most of it. At the end of SS. Mark, Luke, and John “dicitur etiam hoc evangelium ex accuratis codicibus esse exscriptum, nec non collatum” (Scholz). A second (or perhaps the original) hand has been busy here to assimilate the text to that of Codd. 215, 300, or to some common model. In Cod. 215 the foregoing subscription is appended to all the Four Gospels, and the other contents correspond exactly (Burgon, Last Twelve Verses of St. Mark, pp. 119, 279). See on Evann. Λ, 428. Collated by W. F. Rose.

21. Par. Nat. Gr. 68, formerly 2860 [x], 9 × 7-1/8, ff. 203, 2 cols., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., men., with syn. on paper in a later hand (Scholz, Greg.).

22. Par. Nat. Gr. 72, once Colbert. 2467 [xi], 10-¼ × 7-½, ff. 232 (22), [pg 194] contains remarkable readings. John xiv. 22-xvi. 27. Fully collated by the Rev. W. F. Rose (see Evan. 563). It begins Matt. ii. 2, six leaves containing Matt. v. 25-viii. 4 being misplaced before it. Κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus. partial, subscr. No lect., ἀρχ., or mut. Matt. iv. 20-v. 25; τέλ. p. m. A beautiful copy, singularly free from itacisms and errors from homœoteleuton, and very carefully accentuated, with slight illuminated headings to the Gospels, which I recently had the pleasure of inspecting (Wetstein, Scholz, Scriv., Greg.).

23. Par. Nat. Gr. 77, Colbert. 3947 [xi], 9 × 7-¼, 4to, ff. 230, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., with the Latin Vulgate version down to Luke iv. 18. Mut. Matt. i. 1-17; Luke xxiv. 46-John ii. 20; xxi. 24, 25; ninety-six verses (Scholz).

24. Par. Nat. Gr. 178, Colbert. 4112 [xi, Greg. x], 10-¼ × 5-7/8, ff. 240, with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., and also syn., but in a later hand. Mut. Matt, xxvii. 20-Mark iv. 22; 186 verses (Griesb., Scholz). See Burgon, ubi supra, p. 228. Used in Cramer's Cat. on St. Mark, 1840 (Greg.).

25. Par. Nat. Gr. 191, Colbert. 2259 [x, Greg. xi], 11-¾ × 9-1/8, ff. 292, with Victor's commentary on St. Mark, and scholia, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect. (partial). “Grandly written,” but very imperfect, wanting about 715 verses, viz. Matt. xxiii. 1-xxv. 42; Mark i. 1-vii. 36; Luke viii. 31-41; ix. 44-54; x. 39-xi. 4; John xiii. 19?-xxi. 25 (Griesbach, Scholz, Greg., Martin).

26. Par. Nat. Gr. 78, Colbert. 4078 [xi], 9-½ × 7-¼, ff. 179 (27), neatly and correctly written by Paul a priest. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men. (Wetstein, Scholz, Greg.).

27. Par. Nat. Gr. 115, Colbert. 6043 [xi, Greg. x], 6-¼ × 4-¾, ff. 460 (19), is Mill's Colb. 1. That critic procured Larroque's collation of Codd. 27-33 (a very imperfect one) for his edition of the New Testament. From John xviii. 3 the text is supplied, cotton chart. [xiv]. κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (syn., men. later), syn., pict. Extensively altered by a later hand (Wetstein, Scholz, Greg.).

28. Par. Nat. Gr. 379, Colbert. 4705 [xi], 9-1/8 × 7-1/8, ff. 292 (19), is Mill's Colb. 2, most carelessly written by an ignorant scribe; it often resembles Cod. D, but has many unique readings and interpolations, with “many relics of a very ancient text hereabouts” (Hort on Mark vi. 43, Introd. p. 242). Κεφ. t. (inaccurate), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr. (lect. later), syn. Mut. in 334 verses, viz. Matt. vii. 17-ix. 12; xiv. 33-xvi. 10; xxvi. 70-xxvii. 48; Luke xx. 19-xxii. 46; John xii. 40-xiii. 1; xv. 24-xvi. 12; xviii. 16-28; xx. 20-xxi. 5; 18-25 (Scholz, Greg.).

29. Par. Nat. Gr. 89, Colbert. 6066 [xii, Greg. x], 7-1/8 × 5-½, ff. 169, is Mill's Colb. 3, correctly written by a Latin scribe, with very many peculiar corrections by a later hand. Lost leaves in the three later Gospels are supplied [xv]. Scholia, Eus. t., prol., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., syn., men. Mut. Matt. i-xv. Mill compares its text with that of Cod. 71 (Scholz, Greg.).

30. Par. Nat. Gr. 100, Colbert. 4444 [xvi, Greg. xv], 8-7/8 × 5-7/8, chart., [pg 195] ff. 313 (18), κεφ. (Gr. and Lat.), τίτλ., is Mill's Colb. 4, containing all the Gospels, by the writer of Cod. 70. In text it much resembles Cod. 17 (Scholz, Greg.).

31. Par. Nat. Gr. 94, Colbert. 6083 [xiii], 7-1/8 × 5-½, ff. 188, pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., is also Mill's Colb. 4, but contains all the Gospels with prayers. This copy has many erasures (Scholz, Greg.).

32. Par. Nat. Gr. 116, Colbert. 6511 [xii], 5-¾ × 4-¼, ff. 244 (21), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (lect. and ἀναγν. later), is Mill's Colb. 5. It begins Matt. x. 22. Mut. Matt. xxiv. 15-30; Luke xxii. 35-John iv. 20 (Scholz). Mill misrepresented the contents of Codd. 30-32, through supposing that they contained no more than the small portions which were collated for his use.

*33. (Act. 13, Paul 17.) Par. Nat. Gr. 14, Colbert. 2844 [xi, Greg. ix or x], fol., 14-¾ × 9-¾, ff. 143 (52), κεφ., τίτλ., is Mill's Colb. 8, containing some of the Prophets and all the New Testament, except Mark ix. 31-xi. 11; xiii. 11-xiv. 60; Luke xxi. 38-xxiii. 26; and the Apocalypse. In text it resembles Codd. BDL more than any other cursive manuscript. After Larroque, Wetstein, Griesbach, Begtrup, and Scholz, it was most laboriously collated by Tregelles in 1850. There are fifty-two long lines in each page, in a fine round hand, the accents being sometimes neglected, and eta unusually like our English letter h. The ends of the leaves are much damaged, and greatly misplaced by the binder; so that the Gospels now stand last, though on comparing the style of handwriting (which undergoes a gradual change throughout the volume) at their beginning and end with that in the Prophets which stand first, and that in the Epistles which should follow them, it is plain that they originally occupied their usual place. The ink too, by reason of the damp, has often left its proper page blank, so that the writing can only be read set off on the opposite page, especially in the Acts. Hence it is no wonder that Tregelles should say that of all the manuscripts he has collated “none has ever been so wearisome to the eyes, and exhaustive of every faculty of attention.” (Account of the Printed Text, p. 162.)

The next eight copies, like Cod. H of St. Paul, belonged to that noble collection made by the Chancellor Seguier, and on his death in 1672 bequeathed to Coislin, Bishop of Metz. Montfaucon has described them in his “Bibliotheca Coisliniana,” fol. 1715, and all were slightly collated by Wetstein and Scholz.

34. Par. Nat. Coislin. 195, formerly 306 [xi, Greg. x], 11-¼ × 7-½, ff. 469 (22), Carp., Eus. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., στίχ.; “a grand folio, splendidly written and in splendid condition” (Burgon), from Mount Athos, has a catena (Victor's commentary on St. Mark) resembling that of Cod. 194. Fresh as from the artist's hand.

35. (Act. 14, Paul. 18, Apoc. 17.) Par. Nat. Coislin. 199, formerly 44 [xi], 7-3/8 × 5-½, ff. 328 (27), κεφ. t., lect., ἀναγν., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., contains the whole New Testament (see p. [72], note), with many corrections.

36. Par. Nat. Coislin. 20, formerly 26 [xi, Greg. x], 11-½ × 8-3/8, ff. 509 (19), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. t., prol., with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark), from the laura [i.e. convent, Suicer, Thes. Eccles. tom. ii. 205] of St. Athanasius in Mount Athos, very sumptuous.

37. Par. Nat. Coislin. 21, formerly 238 [xii], 12-1/8 × 9-½, ff. 357, Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., with short scholia, Victor's commentary on St. Mark, Eus. t., syn., prol., pict. (Montfaucon).

38. (Act. 19, Paul. 23.) Par. Nat. Coislin. 200, formerly 500 [xiii], 6-7/8 × 5-3/8, ff. 300 (30), copied for the Emperor Michael Palaeologus [1259-1282], and by him sent to St. Louis [d. 1270], containing all the N. T. except St. Paul's Epistles, has been rightly judged by Wetstein to be Stephen's θ᾽[228]. Pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), mut. 143 verses; Matt. xiv. 15-xv. 30; xx. 14-xxi. 27; Mark xii. 3-xiii. 4. A facsimile of this beautiful book is given in the “Paléographie Univers.,” No. 84 (collated by Wetstein). Burgon has also a photograph of it, and, like Wetstein and Silvestre, notices that it was Ex Bibl. Pattr. Cadomensium [Caen] Soc. Jesu, 1640.

39. Par. Nat. Coislin. 23, formerly 315 [xi], 13-1/8 × 10-¼, ff. 288, κεφ. t. (see Greg.), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., στίχ., written at Constantinople with many abbreviations εἰς τὸ πατριαρχεῖον, ἐπὶ Σεργίου [II] τοῦ πατριάρχου, and in 1218 conveyed to the convent of St. Athanasius on Mount Athos. With a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark, from the same original as that in Cod. 34). Not written by Sergius, as Scholz says (Burgon).

40. Par. Nat. Coislin. 22, formerly 375 [xi], 11-¾ × 8-½, ff. 312, Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., once belonged to the monastery of St. Nicholas σταυρονικήτας, with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark) and Eus. t. Ends at John xx. 25.

41. Par. Nat. Coislin. 24, formerly 241 [xi], 4to, 12 x 9-½, ff. 224 (32), κεφ. t. (Mark), κεφ., τίτλ., lect., subscr., στίχ., contains SS. Matthew and Mark with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark).

42. Cod. Medicaeus exhibits many readings of the same class as Codd. 1, 13, 33, but its authority has the less weight, since it has disappeared under circumstances somewhat suspicious. Edward Bernard communicated to Mill these readings, which he had found in the hand of Peter Pithaeus, a former owner, in the margin of Stephen's N. T. of 1550: they professed to be extracted from an “exemplar Regium Medicaeum” (which may be supposed to mean that portion of the King's Library which Catherine de' Medici brought to France: above, p. [117], note 3), and were inserted under the title of Med. in Mill's great work, though he remarked their resemblance to the text of Cod. K (N. T., Proleg. § 1462). The braggart Denis Amelotte [1606-78] professes to [pg 197] have used the manuscript about the middle of the seventeenth century, and states that it was in a college at Troyes; but Scholz could find it neither in that city nor elsewhere.

43. (Act. 54, Paul. 130.) Par. Biblioth. Armament. 8409, 8410, formerly Gr. 4 [xi], in two volumes; the first containing the Gospels with Eus. t., the second the Acts and Epistles, 8-1/8 × 6-3/8, ff. 199 (23) and 190 (25), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr. (lect. and ἀναγν. later, see Greg.). Perhaps written at Ephesus; given by P. de Berzi in 1661 to the Oratory of San Maglorian (Amelotte, Simon, Scholz).

44. Lond. British Museum, Add. 4949 [xi], 12 × 9-¼, ff. 259 (21), syn., men., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (ἀρχή and τέλος later), subscr. and στίχ. in John, brought from Mount Athos by Caesar de Missy [1703-75], George III's French chaplain, who spent his life in collecting materials for an edition of the N. T. His collation, most imperfectly given by Wetstein, is still preserved with the manuscript (Bloomfield, 1860).

45. Oxford Bodleian Barocc. 31 [xii or xiii], 7-¼ × 5-¼, ff. 399 (20), is Mill's Bodl. 1, a very neat copy, with Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ. (occasional), Am., Eus., lect. (here and there), subscr., στίχ. Mut. Mark ii. 5-15 (Mill, Griesbach).

46. Oxf. Bodl. Barocc. 29 [xi], Mill's Bodl. 2, 7-¼ × 5, ff. 342 (18), with τὸ νομικόν and τὸ κυριακὸν πάσχα, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., vers., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν. Preliminary matter in later hand (Mill, Griesbach).

47. Oxf. Bodl. Gr. Misc. 9 [xv], 4-¾ × 3-¼, ff. 554 (30), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ. (Mark), vers. (Polyglott, Mill, Greg.), in a vile hand, κεφ. t., and much foreign matter, is Mill's Bodl. 6 and Bodl. 1 of Walton's Polyglott (Polyglott, Mill).

48. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr., formerly 2044 (Mill's Bodl. 5) [xii], 11-1/8 x 8-¾, ff. 145 (50), 2 cols., pict., Eus. t., κεφ., subscr., ῥήμ., στίχ., scholia in a later hand (Mill).

49. Oxf. Bodl. Roe 1, formerly 247 [xi], 5-¾ × 4-1/8, ff. 223 (26), ll. rubr., is also Mill's Roe 1, brought by Sir T. Roe from Turkey about 1628; it has Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., some Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ. (Luke) (Mill).

50. Oxf. Bodl. Laud. Gr. 33, formerly D. 122 [xi], 11 × 8-¾, ff. 241, prol. (Mark), κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., some Eus., στίχ., is Mill's Laud. 1 (see p. [170]), surrounded by a catena (Victor's or Cyril's of Alexandria in St. Mark), and attended with other matter. Mut. Matt. i. 1-ix. 35; xii. 3-23; xvii. 12-24; xxv. 20-32; John v. 29-end; and Mark xiv. 40-xvi. 20 is by a later hand. It contains many unusual readings (Mill, Griesbach).

51. (Act. 32, Paul. 38.) Oxf. Bodl. Laud. Gr. 31, formerly C. 63 [xiii], 11-¾ × 8-¾, ff. 325 (28), 2 cols., Mill's Laud. 2, whose resemblance to the Complutensian text is pointed out by him (N. T., Proleg. § 1437), though, judging from his own collation of Cod. 51, his statement “per omnia penè respondet” is rather too strong. Prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), lect., syn., men., subscr. The present order of the [pg 198] contents (see p. [72]) is Act., Paul., Cath., Evangelia (Mill, Griesbach): but it ought to be collated afresh. This is Bentley's γ in the unpublished margin of B. xvii. 5 at Trin. Coll., Cambridge. He calls it a quarto, 400 years old. Mut. 2 Pet. iii. 2-17; Matt. xviii. 12-35; Mark ii. 8-iii. 4 (see Codd. 54, 60, 113, 440, 507, 508, Acts 23, Apoc. 28, Evst. 5).

52. Oxf. Bodl. Laud. Gr. 3, formerly C. 28 [dated a.d. 1286], 6-½ × 5, ff. 158 (27), elegant, written by νικητας ὁ μαυρωνης, is Mill's Laud. 5, with Pict., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., mut. in initio (Mill, Griesbach).

53. Oxf. Bodl. Seld. supr. 28, formerly 3416 [xiv], 6 × 4-¾, ff. 140, is Mill's Seld. 1, who pronounces it much like Stephen's γ᾽ (Cod. 4), having prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., ἀναγν., beautifully written (Mill, Griesbach).

54. Oxf. Bodl. Seld. supr. 29 (Coxe 54), formerly 3417, Mill's Seld. 2[229] [dated a.d. 1338], 4to, 6-3/8 × 4-¾, ff. 230 (sic), Syn., men., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., lect., vers. (Mill). This is Bentley's κ (see Cod. 51). See under 58.

55. Oxf. Bodl. Seld. supr. 6 (Coxe 5), formerly 3394, Mill's Seld. 3 [xiii], 4to, 7-½ × 5-½, ff. 349 (21), containing also Judges vi. 1-24 (Grabe, Prol. V. T., tom. i. cap. iii. § 6), has prol. in Matt., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., lect., syn., men., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ. (Mill).

56. Oxf. Lincoln Coll. II (Gr.) 18 [xv or xvi], 4to, 8-1/8 × 5-5/8, ff. 232 (24), chart., was presented about 1502, by Edmund Audley, Bishop of Salisbury: prol. (Mark, Luke), κεφ. t., κεφ., some τίτλ., ἀναγν., vers., titles to Gospels, subscr., στίχ. (John). Walton gives some various readings, but confounds it with Act. 33, Paul. 39, speaking of them as if one “vetustissimum exemplar.” It has been inspected by Dobbin, Scrivener, and Mill, but so loosely that the late Rev. R. C. Pascoe, Fellow of Exeter College, detected thirty-four omissions for thirty-one citations (one of them being an error) in four chapters.

57. (Act. 85, Paul. 41.) Oxf. Magdalen Coll., Greek 9 [xii, opening], 9 × 7-½, ff. 291 (25), aur. beautiful, in a small and beautiful hand, with abbreviations. Mut. Mark i. 1-11, and at end. Psalms and Hymns follow the Epistles. It has κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ. (lect. in red, vers. later). Collated twice by Dr. Hammond, the great commentator, whose papers seem to have been used for Walton's Polyglott (Magd. 1): also examined by Dobbin (Mill).

58. Oxf. New Coll. 68 [xv], 7-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 342 (20), is Walton and Mill's N. 1. This, like Codd. 56-7, has been accurately examined by Dr. Dobbin, for the purpose of his “Collation of the Codex Montfortianus” (London, 1854), with whose readings Codd. 56, 58 have been compared in 1922 places. He has undoubtedly proved the close connexion [pg 199] subsisting between the three manuscripts (which had been observed by Mill, N. T. Proleg. § 1388), though he may not have quite demonstrated that they must be direct transcripts from each other. Prol., κεφ. t., κεφ. (partially), τίτλ., Am. (partial), ἀναγν. (partial), syn., subscr. (Mark), vers., with scholia. The writing is very careless, and those are in error who follow Walton in stating that it contains the Acts and Epistles (Walton's Polyglott, Mill, Dobbin). Mr. C. Forster rightly asks for photographs and a thorough re-collation of Codd. 56, 58, 61, “to throw light upon their direct relationship, or non-relationship to each other” (“A New Plea for the Three Heavenly Witnesses,” 1867, p. 139). Dr. C. R. Gregory has expressed the opinion that Codd. 47, 56, 58 are in the same hand, and one of them copied from Cod. 54.

*59. Cambridge, Gonville and Caius Coll. 403 [xii], 8 × 6, ff. 238 (23), an important copy, “textu notabili,” as Tischendorf states (much like D, 61, 71), but carelessly written, and exhibiting no less than eighty-one omissions by ὁμοιοτέλευτον (see p. [9]). It was very poorly examined for Walton's Polyglott, better though defectively by Mill, seen by Wetstein in 1716, minutely collated by Scrivener in 1860. It once belonged to the House of Friars Minor at Oxford, from whence Richard Brynkley borrowed it and took it to the Grey Friars at Cambridge, whence it went to Thomas Hatcher, who gave it to the College in 1867 (J. Rendel Harris, The origin of the Leicester Codex, 1887). It has τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (but not Eus.), and exhibits many and rare compendia scribendi.

60. (Apoc. 10.) Camb. University Library, Dd. ix. 69 [a.d. 1297], 8 × 6, ff. 324 = 293 + 1 + 30 (24), but the Apocalypse is later, and has a few scholia from Arethas about it. This copy is Mill's Moore 1[230] and is still badly known. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect. (later), Am. without Eus., subscr., and it is an elegant copy (Mill). The Gospels appear to have been written in the East, the Apocalypse in the West of Europe. This is Bentley's ε (see Cod. 51).

*61. (Act. 34, Paul. 40, Apoc. 92.) Codex Montfortianus at Trinity College, Dublin, G. 97 [xv or xvi], 6-¼ × 4-¾, ff. 445 (21), chart., so celebrated in the controversy respecting 1 John v. 7. Its last collator, Dr. Orlando Dobbin (see on Cod. 58), has discussed in his Introduction every point of interest connected with it. It contains the whole New Testament, apparently the work of three or four successive scribes, paper leaves, only one of them—that on which 1 John v. 7 stands—being glazed[231], [pg 200] as if to protect it from harm. This manuscript was first heard of between the publication of Erasmus' second (1519) and third (1522) editions of his N. T., and after he had publicly declared, in answer to objectors, that if any Greek manuscript could be found containing the passage, he would insert it in his revision of the text; a promise which he fulfilled in 1522. Erasmus describes his authority as “Codex Britannicus,” “apud Anglos repertus,” and there is the fullest reason to believe that the Cod. Montfortianus is the copy referred to (see Vol. II. Chap. XI). Its earliest known owner was Froy[232], a Franciscan friar, then Thomas Clement [fl. 1569], then William Chark [fl. 1582], then Thomas Montfort, D.D. of Cambridge, from whom it derives its name, then Archbishop Ussher, who caused the collation to be made which appears in Walton's Polyglott (Matt. i. 1-Acts xxii. 29; Rom. i), and presented the manuscript to Trinity College. Dr. Barrett appended to his edition of Cod. Z a full collation of the parts left untouched by his predecessors; but since the work of Ussher's friends was known to be very defective, Dobbin has re-collated the whole of that portion which Barrett left unexamined, comparing the readings throughout with Codd. 56, 58 of the Gospels, and Cod. 33 of the Acts. This copy has prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ., besides which the division by the Latin chapters in St. Mark is employed, a sure proof—if any were needed—of the modern date of the manuscript. There are many corrections by a more recent hand, erasures by the pen, &c. It has been supposed that the Gospels were first written; then the Acts and Epistles (transcribed, in Dobbin's judgement, from Cod. 33, Acts); the Apocalypse last; having been added about 1580, as Tregelles and Dr. Dobbin think, from Cod. 69, when they were both in Chark's possession. The text, however, of the Apocalypse is not quite the same in the two codices, nor would it be easy, without seeing them together, to verify Dobbin's conjecture, that the titles to the sacred books, in pale red ink, were added by the same person in both manuscripts. In the margin of this copy, as of Cod. 69, are inserted many readings in Chark's handwriting, even the misprint of Erasmus, ἐμαῖς for ἐν αἷς, Apoc. ii. 13.

62. Walton's Goog., which was brought from the East, and once belonged to Dr. Henry Googe, Fellow of Trinity College. The collations of Codd. D, 59, 61, 62 made for the London Polyglott were given in 1667 to Emmanuel College, where they yet remain. Goog. was identified with the Cambridge Kk. v. 35 by Bp. Marsh, who was a little careless in this kind of work.

622. Camb. Univ. Lib. Kk. v. 35 [xv], 9-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 403 (14), chart., κεφ., (κεφ. Lat.), τίτλ., subscr., vers. Mr. Bradshaw has pointed out that Kk. v. 35 is a mere transcript by George Hermonymus from Cod. 70 also [pg 201] in his handwriting, and hastily copied from it, errors of the pen and all. It has no men., lect., as Goog. had, but the ordinary κεφάλαια and Latin chapters. Again, Goog., as Walton says, “ex Oriente advectus est,” and must have been in England before 1657; whereas Bp. Moore got Kk. v. 35 from France in 1706, with other books from the collection of J. B. Hantin, the numismatist.

63. Cod. Ussher 1, Trin. Coll. Dublin, A. i. 8, formerly D. 20 [x], fol., with a commentary, 12-3/8 × 9-½, ff. 237 (18-24), prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (lect., later.), subscr. Henry Dodwell made a few extracts for Bishop Fell's N. T. of 1675; Richard Bulkeley loosely collated it for Mill, Dr. Dobbin in 1855 examined St. Matthew, and the Rev. John Twycross, of the Charter House, re-collated the whole manuscript in 1858. The last leaf, containing John xxi. 25, is lost; but (see Scrivener, Cod. Sin., Introd., p. lix, note, and an admirable paper by Dr. Gwynn in Hermathena, xix, 1893, p. 368) it originally contained the verse and witnesses to it. Dr. C. R. Gregory has noticed in Cod. 63 a mutilated double leaf of an Evangelistarium in two columns [ix or x], containing part of ὥρα γ᾽.

64. Bute, formerly Ussher 2. This MS. belonged, like the preceding, to the illustrious Primate of Ireland, but has been missing from Trin. Coll. Library in Dublin ever since 1742, or, as Dr. C. R. Gregory thinks on the authority of Dr. T. K. Abbott, 1702. It was collated, like Cod. 63, by Dodwell for Fell, by Bulkeley for Mill. It once belonged to Dr. Thomas Goad, and was very neatly, though incorrectly, written in octavo. As the Emmanuel College copy of the Epistles (Act. 53, Paul. 30) never contained the Gospels, for which it is perpetually cited in Walton's Polyglott as Em., the strong resemblance subsisting between Usser. 2 and Em. led Mill to suspect that they were in fact the same copy. The result of an examination of Walton's with Mill's collations is that they are in numberless instances cited together in support of readings, in company with other manuscripts; often with a very few or even alone (e.g. Matt. vi. 22; viii. 11; xii. 41; Mark ii. 2; iv. 1; ix. 10; 25; Luke iv. 32; viii. 27; John i. 21; iv. 24; v. 7; 20; 36; vii. 10; xvi. 19; xxi. 1). That Usser. 2 and Em. are sometimes alleged separately is easily accounted for by the inveterate want of accuracy exhibited by all early collators. But all doubt is at an end since Dean Burgon in 1880 found this celebrated copy in the library of the Marquis of Bute, and has traced the curious history of its rovings. From Dr. Goad (d. 1638) it came into the keeping of Primate Ussher, by whose hand the modern chapters seem to have been written in the margin. Then towards the end of the seventeenth century (as his signature proves) it belonged to one John Jones: a later hand puts in the date Saturday, May 25, 1728. It has also the book plate of John Earl of Moira (d. 1793). Then we trace it to James Verschoyle, afterwards Bishop of Killala from 1793 to 1834, thence to the Earls of Huntingdon for two generations, when it was purchased at the Donnington Park sale by Lord Bute. Without doubt this is the long lost Cod. 64, the Usser. 2 and Em. of Mill: it was recognized at once by the reading in John viii. 8. Dean Burgon describes it as [xii or xiii] now in two volumes, bound in red morocco about 150 years since. It has 440 leaves, 4-3/5 inches by 3-2/5 in size. Carp., [pg 202] Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (gilt), Eus. (carmine), lect., ἀρχαί and τελη. At the end are fourteen leaves of syn. Though beautifully written, it has no pict. or elaborate headings. Previous collators had done their work very poorly, as we have reason to know. Out of about sixty variations in Mark i-v, Mill has recorded only twenty-six. Over each proper name of a person stands a little waved stroke: cf. Evan. 530. (Collated for Burgon.)

65. Lond. Brit. Mus. Harleian 5776 [xiii], 9 x 7, ff. 309 (22), is Mill's Cov. 1, brought from the East in 1677 with four other manuscripts of the Greek Testament by Dr. John Covell [1637-1722], once English Chaplain at Constantinople, then Chaplain to Queen Mary at the Hague, afterwards Master of Christ's College, Cambridge. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., στίχ., subscr. (Mill). This book was presented to Covell in 1674 by Daniel, Bishop of Proconnesus. The last verse is supplied by a late hand, the concluding leaf being lost, as in Cod. 63.

*66. Camb. Trin. Coll. O. viii. 3, Cod. Galei Londinensis [xii], 8-¾ x 6, chart., ff. 282 (21), pict., syn., men., Carp. ten blank pages, κεφ., no τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., subscr. (later), ἀναγν., κεφ. t., στίχ., once belonged to Th. Gale [1636-1702], High Master of St. Paul's School, Dean of York (1697), with some scholia in the margin by a recent hand, and other changes in the text by one much earlier. Known to (Mill), but for a time lost sight of. Collated by Scrivener, 1862. Inserted in the great printed Catalogue of Manuscripts, Oxford, 1697.

67. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 76 [x or xi], 9 x 7, ff. 202 (20), 2 cols., is Mill's Hunt. 2, brought from the East by Dr. Robert Huntington, Chaplain at Aleppo, Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, and afterwards Bishop of Raphoe [d. 1701]. Mut. John vi. 64-xxi. 25. Eus. t., pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr. On f. 3, the Athanasian Creed is on rect. on gold ground (Mill).

68. Oxf. Lincoln Coll. (Evst. 199) II. Gr. 17 [xii], 8 x 5, ff. 29 (23), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., orn., κεφ., τίτλ. (gold), Am., lect., στιχ., besides syn., men., and verses at the end of each Gospel by Theodulos Hieromonachus, is Mill's Wheel. 1, brought from Zante in 1676, with two other copies, by George Wheeler, Canon of Durham. Between the Gospels of SS. Luke and John are small fragments of two leaves of a beautiful Evangelistarium [ix?], with red musical notes (Mill, Scr.).

*69. (Act. 31, Paul. 37, Apoc. 14.) Codex Leicestrensis [xiv Harris; end of xv], 14-½ x 10-5/8, ff. 213 (38), like Codd. 206 and 233, and Brit. Mus. Harl. 3161; rapidly written on 83 leaves of vellum and 130 of paper, the vellum being outside the quinion at beginning and end, and three paper leaves within (see p. [24]), apparently with a reed (see p. [27]), is now in the library of the Town Council of Leicester. It contains the whole New Testament, except Matt. i. 1-xviii. 15; Acts x. 45-xiv. 17; Jude 7-25; Apoc. xviii. 7-xxii. 21, but with fragments down to xix. 10. The original order was Paul., Acts, Cath. Epp., Apoc., Gospels last and missing when the MS. came into Chark's hands. Written in the strange hand which our facsimile exhibits (No. [40]), epsilon being recumbent and almost like alpha, and with accents placed over the [pg 203] succeeding consonant instead of the vowel[233]. The words Ειμι Ιλερμον Χαρκου at the top of the first page, in the same beautiful hand that wrote many (too many) marginal notes, prove that this codex once belonged to the William Chark, mentioned under Cod. 61 (p. [201]) who got it from Brynkley, who probably got it like the Caius MS. (Evan. 59) from the Convent of Grey Friars at Cambridge. In 1641 (Wetstein states 1669) Thomas Hayne, M.A., of Trussington, in that county, gave this MS. with his other books to the Leicester Library. Mill was permitted to use it at Oxford, and collated it there in 1671. A collation also made by John Jackson and William Tiffin was lent to Wetstein through Caesar de Missy and Th. Gee, a Presbyterian minister of But Close, Leicester. Tregelles re-collated it in 1852 for his edition of the Greek Testament, and Scrivener very minutely in 1855; the latter published his results, with a full description of the book itself, in the Appendix to his “Codex Augiensis.” No manuscript of its age has a text so remarkable as this, less however in the Acts than in the Gospels. Though none of the ordinary divisions into sections, and scarcely any liturgical marks, occur throughout, there is evidently a close connexion between Cod. 69 and the Church Service-books, as well in the interpolations of proper names, particles of time, or whole passages (e.g. Luke xxii. 43, 44 placed after Matt. xxvi. 39) which are common to both, as especially in the titles of the Gospels: ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ μάρκον εὐαγγέλιον (sic), &c., being in the very language of the Lectionaries[234]. Codd. 178, 443 have the same peculiarity. Tables of κεφάλαια stand before the three later Gospels, with very unusual variations; for which, as well as for the foreign matter inserted and other peculiarities of Cod. 69, consult Scrivener's Cod. Augiensis (Introd. pp. xl-xlvii). See also Mr. J. Rendel Harris, Origin of the Leicester Codex, 1887.

70. Camb. Univ. Lib. Ll. ii. 13 [xv], 11-¼ x 7-¼ ff. 186 (23), orn., τίτλ. in margin, κεφ. Lat., vers., was written, like Codd. 30, 62, 287, by G. Hermonymus the Spartan (who settled at Paris, 1472, and became the Greek teacher of Budaeus and Reuchlin), for William Bodet; there are marginal corrections by Budaeus, from whose letter to Bp. Tonstall we may fix the date about a.d. 1491-4. It once belonged to Bunckle of London, then to Bp. Moore. Like Cod. 62 it has the Latin chapters (Mill).

*71. Lambeth 528 [a.d. 1100], 6-½ x 4-¾, ff. 265 (26), is Mill's Eph. and Scrivener's g. This elegant copy, which once belonged to an Archbishop of Ephesus, was brought to England in 1675 by Philip Traheron, English Chaplain at Smyrna. Traheron made a careful collation of his manuscript, of which both the rough copy (B. M., Burney 24) and a fair one (Lambeth 528 b) survive. This last Scrivener in [pg 204] 1845 compared with the original, and revised, especially in regard to later corrections, of which there are many. Mill used Traheron's collation very carelessly. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t. [xv], κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. This copy presents a text full of interest, and much superior to that of the mass of manuscripts of its age. See Cod. 29.

72. Brit. Mus. Harleian. 5647 [xi], large 4to, 10 x 8, ff. 268 (22, 24), an elegant copy, with a catena on St. Matthew, κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ. (Mark), various readings in the ample margin. Lent by T. Johnson to (Wetstein).

73. Christ Church, Oxford, Wake 26 [xi], 4to, 9-7/8 x 8-1/8, ff. 291, κεφ. t., Eus. t., vers., κεφ., Am., Eus., τίτλ., pict., few lect. It is marked “Ex dono Mauri Cordati Principis Hungaro-Walachiae, Ao 1724.” This and Cod. 74 were once Archbishop Wake's, and were collated for Wetstein by (Jo. Walker, Wake MS. 35)[235].

74. Christ Church, Oxford, Wake 20 [xiii], 8 x 6, ff. 204, written by Theodore (see p. [42], note 3). Mut. Matt. i. 1-14; v. 29-vi. 1; thirty-two verses. It came in 1727 from the Monastery of Παντοκράτωρ, on Mount Athos. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., syn., men., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., vers.

75. Cod. Genevensis 19 [xi], 9 x 6-½, ff. 500 (19), Carp., Eus. t, prol., κεφ. t., Am., τίτλ., Eus., lect., pict., men. In text it much resembles that of Cod. 6. Seen in 1714 by Wetstein, examined by Scholz (collated Matt. i-vi, John vii, viii), collated (Matt. i-xviii, Mark i-v) by Cellérier, a Professor at Geneva, whose collation (Matt. i-xviii) is corrected and supplemented with Matt. xix-end by H. C. Hoskier, though his visit to the MS. was unfortunately short. The first diorthota made corrections and additions as regards breathings and stops. Other corrections made not much later (Hoskier, Collation of 604, App. G).

76. (Act. 43, Paul. 49.) Cod. Caesar-Vindobonensis, Nessel. 300, Lambec. 28 [xi-xiii], 7-½ x 5-3/8, ff. 358 (27), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., pict. This copy (the only one known to read αὐτῆς with the Complutensian and other editions in Luke ii. 22) is erroneously called an uncial by Mill (Gerhard à Mastricht 1690; Ashe 1691; F. K. Alter 1786) (Greg.).

77. Caesar-Vindobon. Nessel. 114, Lambec. 29 [xi], 9-¼ x 8, ff. 300 (21), very neat; with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (lect. and syn. by a later hand). It once belonged to Matthias Corvinus, the great king of Hungary (1458-90). Collated in “Tentamen descriptionis codicum,” &c. 1773 by (Treschow, and also by Alter) (Greg.).

78. Cod. Nicolae Jancovich de Vadass, now in Hungary [xii], 9-1/8 × 5-¾, ff. 293 (22), Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., lect., syn., pict. It was once in the library of king Matthias Corvinus: on the sack of Buda by the Turks in 1527, his noble collection of 50,000 volumes was scattered, and about 1686 this book fell into the hands of S. B., then of J. G., Carpzov of Leipsic, at whose sale it was purchased and brought back to its former country. A previous possessor, in the seventeenth century, was Γεώργιος δεσμοφύλαξ Ναυπλίου. (Collated by C. F. Boerner for Kuster, and “in usum” of Scholz.)

79. Leyden, Bibl. Univ. 74 [xv], Latin version older, 6-½ × 4-¾, ff. 208 (26-28), 2 cols., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν. (all partial). Mut. Matt. i. 1-xiv. 13. Brought by Georg. Douze from Constantinople in 1597, consulted by Gomar in 1644 (Greg.).

80. Paris, Lesoeuf [xii], 9-1/8 × 6-3/8, ff. 309 (23), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ. (also Lat. cent, xv), τίτλ. This MS. belonged to J. G. Graevius, and was collated by Bynaeus in 1691: then it passed into the hands of J. Van der Hagen, who showed it to Wetstein in 1739: afterwards it was bought by Ambrose Didot at a sale, and sold to Mons. Lesoeuf, where Dr. C. R. Gregory saw it. (See Proleg. to Tisch. ed. viii. p. 485.)

81. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 323, Auct. T. Infr. i. 5 [xiii], 7 × 5, ff. 182. Κεφ., τίτλ., some Am. Bought in 1883 from Mr. William Ward who brought it from Ephesus. Contains Matt. xix. 15-xxi. 19; 31-41; xxii. 7-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 9-iii. 18; 35-xv. 15; 32-xvi. 14; Luke i. 18-ii. 19; iii. 7-iv. 40; v. 8-xxii. 5; 36-xxiii. 10; John viii. 4-xxi. 18. This place has been hitherto occupied by Greek MSS. cited in a Correctorium Bibliorum Latinorum of the thirteenth century[236]. Dr. Hort appropriates this numeral to Muralt's 2pe. (Evan. 473.)

82. Oxf. Bodl. MS. Bibl. Gr. e. I. Some fragments: (1) John iii. 23; (2) 26, 27; (3) 2 Cor. xi. 3: Chart. (1, 2) [xiii], (3) [vi or vii] uncials and minuscules intermixed, and some Coptic and Arabic words.

In this place other fragments have been placed till now. Seven unknown Greek manuscripts of St. John, three of St. Matthew and (apparently) of the other Gospels, cited in Laurentius Valla's “Annotationes in N. T., ex diversorum utriusque linguae, Graecae et Latinae, codicum collatione,” written about 1440, edited by Erasmus, Paris 1505. His copies seem modern, and have probably been used by later critics. The whole subject, however, is very carefully examined in the Rev. A. T. Russell's “Memoirs of the life and works of Bp. Andrewes,” pp. 282-310. Hort's Cod. 82 is Burgon's Venet. xii, to be described hereafter.

83. Cod. Monacensis 518 [xi], 8-½ × 6-½, ff. 321 (20), beautifully written, prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., in the Royal Library at Munich, whither it was brought from Augsburg (Bengel's August. 1, Scholz, Greg.).

84. Monacensis 568 [xii], 6-5/8 × 5-1/8, ff. 65, κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), lect. both in the text and margin, contains SS. Matthew and Mark. Mut. Matt. i. 18-xiii. 10; xiii. 27-42; xiv. 3-xviii. 25; xix. 9-21; xxii. 4-Mark vii. 13 (Burgon, Greg.).

85. Monacensis 569 [xiii], 5-½ × 3-¾, ff. 30, κεφ., lect. in vermilion, τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), contains only Matt. viii. 15-ix. 17; xvi. 12-xvii. 20; xxiv. 26-45; xxvi. 25-54; Mark vi. 13-ix. 45; Luke iii. 12-vi. 44; John ix. 11-xii. 5; xix. 6-24; xx. 23-xxi. 9 (Bengel's August. 3, Scholz).

86. Posoniensis Lycaei Aug. [x], 9-½ × 7-1/8, ff. 280, prol., Eus. t., pict., syn. Once at Buda, but it had been bought in 1183 at Constantinople for the Emperor Alexius II Comnenus (Bengel, Endlicher). It was brought by Rayger, a doctor of medicine, from Italy, where it had been carried, to Pressburg, to his brother-in-law Gleichgross, who was a pastor in that place, amongst whose books it was sold to the library of the Lycaeum in Pressburg. (See Gregory, Proleg. p. 486.)

87. Trevirensis [xii], fol., contains St. John's Gospel with a catena, published at length by Cordier at Antwerp. It once belonged to the eminent philosopher and mathematician, Cardinal Nicolas of Cuza, on the Moselle, near Trèves [1401-64: see Cod. 129 Evan., and Cod. 59 Acts]; previously at the monastery of Petra or of the Fore-runner of Constantinople[237] (Scholz). Wetstein's 87 is our 250.

88. Codex of the Gospels, 4to, on vellum, cited as ancient and correct by Joachim Camerarius (who collated it) in his Annotations to the New Testament, 1642. It resembles in text Codd. 63, 72, 80.

89. Gottingensis Cod. Theol. 53 [1006], fol., ff. 172, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., Eust., lect., with corrections. Collated by A. G. Gehl in 1729 (?), and by Matthaei (No. 20) in 1786-7.

90. (Act. 47, Paul. 14.) Cod. Jac. Fabri, a Dominican of Deventer, now in the library of the church of the Remonstrants at Amsterdam, 186 [xvi, but copied from a manuscript written by Theodore and dated 1293], 4to, chart., 2 vols., κεφ. (Lat.), lect., syn. The Gospels stand John, Luke, Matthew, Mark (see p. [70]); the Pauline Epistles precede the Acts; and Jude is written twice, from different copies. This codex (which has belonged to Abr. Hinckelmann of Hamburg, and to Wolff) was collated by Wetstein. Faber [1472—living in 1515] had also compared it with another “very ancient” vellum manuscript of the Gospels presented by Sixtus IV (1471-84) to Jo. Wessel of Groningen, but which was then at Zvolle. As might be expected, this [pg 207] copy much resembles Cod. 74. See Delitzsch, Handschr. Funde, ii. pp. 54-57.

91. Perronianus [x], of which extracts were sent by Montfaucon to Mill, had been Cardinal Perron's [d. 1618], and before him had belonged to “S. Taurini monasterium Ebroicense” (Evreux). Hort suggests, and Gregory favours the suggestion, that this is the same as Evan. 299 (Cod. Par. Reg. 177), which came from Evreux.

92. Faeschii 1 (Act. 49) [xiv or xv]. 94. Faeschii 2 [xvi or xvii]. The former, 10-¼ × 8, ff. 141, κεφ. t., τίτλ., pict., contains St. Mark with Victor's commentary on vellum, and scholia on the Catholic Epistles, with the authors' names, Didymus, Origen, Cyril, &c., and is referred by Gregory to the tenth century; the latter, 8-½ × 5-½, ff. 172 (22), SS. Mark and Luke, with Victor's commentary on St. Mark, that of Titus of Bostra on St. Luke, on paper [xv or xvi, Greg.]. Both belonged to Andrew Faesch, of Basle, and were collated by Wetstein. Dean Burgon found them both at Basle (O. ii. 27 and O. ii. 23).

93. Graevii [1632-1703] of the Gospels, cited by Vossius on the Genealogy, Luke iii, but not known (Cod. 80? Greg.).

95. Oxf. Lincoln Coll. II. Gr. 16 [xii or earlier], 10-½ × 8, ff. 110 (20), is Mill's Wheeler 2[238]. It contains SS. Luke and John with commentary, mut. Luke i. 1-xi. 2; John vii. 2-17; xx. 31-xxi. 10. With full scholia neatly written in the margin, κεφ., Am. (later), syn., men. (Mill, Professor Nicoll).

96. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 8 (Auct. D. 5. 1) [xv], 5-3/8 × 3-¾, ff. 62 (18), chart., is Walton's and Mill's Trit., with many rare readings, containing St. John with a commentary, beautifully written by Jo. Trithemius, Abbot of Spanheim [d. 1516]. Received from Abraham Scultet by Geo. Hackwell, 1607 (Walton's Polyglott, Mill, Griesbach).

97. Hirsaugiensis [1500, by Nicolas, a monk of Hirschau in Bavaria], 12mo, ff. 71, on vellum, containing St. John, seems but a copy of 96. Collated by Maius, and the collation given in J. D. Michaelis, Orientalische und exegetische Bibliothek, ii. p. 243, &c. (Greg., Bengel[239], Maius, Schulz).

98. Oxf. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 5 [xii], 8-½ × 6, ff. 222 (25), pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., brought by Clarke from the East. It was collated in a few places for Scholz, who substituted it here for Cod. R (see p. [139]) of Griesbach.

99. Lipsiensis, Bibliothec. Paul, [xvi], 8-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 22 (22, 23), Matthaei's 18, contains Matt. iv. 8-v. 27; vi. 2-xv. 30; Luke i. 1-13; Carp., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn. (Matthaei, Greg.). Wetstein's 99 is our 155.

100. Paul. L. B. de Eubeswald [x], 4to, 9-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 374, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (syn., men., ἀναγν. later), vellum, mut. John xxi. 25; pict., κεφ. t., Eus. t., and in a later hand many corrections with scholia, chart. J. C. Wagenseil used it in Hungary for John viii. 6. Now in the University of Pesth, but in the fifteenth century belonging to Bp. Jo. Pannonius. Edited at Pesth in 1860 “cum interpretatione Hungaria” by S. Markfi.

101. Uffenbach. 3 [xvi], 12mo, chart., St. John στιχήρης. So near the Basle (that is, we suppose, Erasmus') edition, that Bengel scarcely ever cites it. With two others (Paul. M. and Acts 45) it was lent by Z. C. Uffenbach, Consul of Frankfort-on-the-Main, to Wetstein in 1717, and afterwards to Bengel. (Gregory would omit it.)

102. Bibliothecae Medicae, an unknown manuscript with many rare readings, extracted by Wetstein at Amsterdam for Matt. xxiv-Mark viii. 1, from the margin of a copy of Plantin's N. T. 1591, in the library of J. Le Long. Canon Westcott is convinced that the manuscript from which these readings were derived is none other than Cod. B itself, and Dr. Gregory agrees with him. In St. Matthew's Gospel he finds the two authorities agree seventy times and differ only five times, always in a manner to be easily accounted for: in St. Mark they agree in eighty-four out of the eighty-five citations, the remaining one (ch. ii. 22) being hardly an exception. Westcott, New Test., Smith's “Dictionary of the Bible.” Hort's Cod. 102 is wscr (Evan. 507), to be described hereafter.

103. Regius 196 [xi], fol., once Cardinal Mazarin's, seems the same manuscript as that from which Emericus Bigot gave extracts for Curcellaeus' N. T. 1658 (Scholz). Burgon supposes some mistake here, as he finds Reg. 196 to be a copy of Theophylact's commentary on SS. Matthew and Mark, written over an older manuscript [viii or ix]. Perhaps the same as 14 or 278 (Greg.).

104. Hieronymi Vignerii [x], from which also Bigot extracted readings, which Wetstein obtained through J. Drieberg in 1744, and published. Perhaps 697 (Greg.).

105. (Act. 48, Paul. 24.) Cod. Ebnerianus, Bodl. Misc. Gr. 136, a beautiful copy [xii], 8 × 6-¼, ff. 426 (27), formerly belonging to Jerome Ebner von Eschenbach of Nuremberg. Pict., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), subscr., στίχ., the Nicene Creed, all in gold: with lect. throughout and syn., men. prefixed by Joasaph, a calligraphist, a.d. 1391, who also added John viii. 3-11 at the end of that Gospel. Facsimile in Horne's Introduction, and in Tregelles' Horne, p. 220 (Schoenleben 1738, Rev. H. O. Coxe, by whom the collation was lent before 1845 to the Rev. R. J. F. Thomas, Vicar of Yeovil [d. 1873], together with one of Canon. Graec. 110 of the Acts and Epistles, both of which are mislaid).

106. Winchelsea [x], with many important readings, often resembling the Harkleian Syriac: not now in the Earl of Winchelsea's Library (Jackson collated it for Wetstein in 1748).

107. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 6 [xiv and later], 8-½ × 6-¾, ff. 351, κεφ. t., pict., [pg 209] κεφ., τίτλ., containing the Gospels in different hands. (Like 98, 111, 112, partially collated for Scholz.) Griesbach's 107 is also 201.

108. Vindobonensis Caesarei, Suppl. Gr. 2, formerly Kollar. 4 [xi], 12-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 426, 2 vols. With a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark: Burgon, Last Twelve Verses, &c., p. 288), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ. It seems to have been written at Constantinople, and formerly belonged to Parrhasius, then to the convent of St. John de Carbonaria at Naples (Treschow, Alter, Birch, Scholz).

109. Brit. Mus. Addit. 5117 [a.d. 1326], 7-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 225 (24-30), ll. rubr., Carp., prol., κεφ. t., Eus. t., syn., men., lect., Am., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ., Mead. 1, then Askew (5115 is Act. 22, and 5116 is Paul. 75, these two in the same hand; different from that employed in the Gospels).

110[240]. Brit. Mus. Addit. 19,386 [xiv], 11 × 8, ff. 267 (?), Carp., Eus. t. (faded), κεφ. t., prol., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., syn., with a dial of the year. Four Gospels with commentary by Theophylact. Purchased from Constantine Simonides in 1853. (Greg. 1260.)

111[241]. Bodl. Clarke 7 [xii], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 181 (31), κεφ. t. (mut. Matt.), [pg 210] κεφ., τίτλ., Am., vers., subscr., στίχ. Mut. John xvi. 27-xvii. 15; xx. 25-end, and

112[242]. Bodl. Clarke 10 [xi], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 167 (33), Carp., Eus. t., prol., pict., syn., men., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., with commencement and large letters in gold, having both Am. and Eus., in Matt. i-Mark ii, in the same line (a very rare arrangement; see Codd. 192, 198, 212, and Wake 21 below), a very beautiful copy. These two, very partially collated for Scholz, were substituted by him and Tischensdorf for collations whose history is not a little curious.

113. Brit. Mus. Harleian. 1810 [xi], 8 × 7-¼, ff. 270 (26), prol., syn. (later), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (Griesbach, Bloomfield). Apparently this is Bentley's θ “membr. 4to 600 annorum,” collated by him in the margin of Trin. Coll. B. xvii. 5 (see Cod. 51). Its readings are of more than usual interest, as are those of the next.

114. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5540 [x], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 280 (20) (facsimile in a Greek Testament, published in 1837 by Taylor, London), very elegant, with more recent marginal notes and Matt. xxviii. 19-Mark i. 12 in a later hand. Mut. Matt. xvii. 4-18; xxvi. 59-73 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). Carp., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), κεφ. t. (Luke, John). See Canon Westcott's article, “New Test.,” in Smith's “Dictionary of the Bible.”

115. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5559 [xii], 6-¾ × 5-¾, ff. 271 (19), κεφ., some τίτλ., Am., frequently Eus.[243], once Bernard Mould's (Smyrna, 1724), with an unusual text. Mut. Matt. i. 1-viii. 10; Mark v. 23-36; Luke i. 78-ii. 9; vi. 4-15; John xi. 2-xxi. 25 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). A few more words of John xi survive.

116. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5567 [xii], 6-¼ × 5, ff. 300 (23), Syn., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., ἀναγν., στίχ., men., of some value. [pg 211] It belonged in 1649 to Athanasius a Greek monk, then to Bernard Mould (Griesbach, Bloomfield).

117. (Apost. 6.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5731 [xv], 8 × 6, ff. 202 (28), carelessly written, once belonged to Bentley. Mut. Matt. i. 1-18: pict., prol., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., syn., fragments of a Lectionary on the last twenty leaves (Griesbach, Bloomfield).

*118. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 13 [xiii], 7-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 257, an important palimpsest (with the Gospels uppermost) once the property of Archbishop Marsh of Armagh [d. 1713]. Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., στίχ., ῥήμ. (syn., men. later), and some of the Psalms on paper. Later hands also supplied Matt. i. 1-vi. 2; Luke xiii. 35-xiv. 20; xviii. 8-xix. 9; John xvi. 25-xxi. 25. Well collated by (Griesbach).

119. Paris Nat. Gr. 85 [xii], 9 × 6-3/8, ff. 237 (23), formerly Teller's of Rheims, is Kuster's Paris 5 (Griesbach, Gregory), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., pict.

120. Par. Nat. Suppl. Gr. 185 [xiii], 7-½ × 5-3/8, ff. 177, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., formerly belonged to St. Victor's on the Walls, and seems to be Stephen's ιδ᾽, whose text (1550) and Colinaeus' (1534) it closely resembles. St. Mark is wanting (Griesbach).

121. Par. St. Geneviève, A. O. 34 [Sept. 1284, Indiction 12], 7-7/8 × 6, ff. 241, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men. Mut. Matt. v. 21-viii. 24 (Griesbach).

122. (Act. 177, Paul. 219.) Lugdunensis-Batavorum Bibl. publ. Gr. 74 A [xii], 7-1/8 × 5-½, ff. 222, Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., vers., στίχ., men., once Meerman's[244] 116. Mut. Acts i. 1-14; xxi. 14-xxii. 28; 1 John iv. 20-Jude 25; Rom. i. 1-vii. 13; 1 Cor. ii. 7-xiv. 23 (J. Dermout, Collectanea Critica in N. T., 1825). Griesbach's 122 is also 97. See Cod. 435.

123. Vindobon. Caesar, Nessel. 240, formerly 30 [xi], 4to, 8-1/8 × 6, ff. 328 (18), brought from Constantinople about 1562 by the Imperial Ambassador to the Porte, Ogier de Busbeck; Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., corrections by another hand (Treschow, Alter, Birch).

*124. Vind. Caes. Ness. 188, formerly 31 [xii], 4to, 8-½ × 7-1/8, ff. 180 (25), Carp., Eus. t., harm., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., an eclectic copy, with corrections by the first hand (Mark ii. 14; Luke iii. 1, &c.). This manuscript was written in Calabria, where it belonged to a certain Leo, and was brought to Vienna probably in 1564. It resembles the Harkleian Syriac, Old Latin, Codd. DL. i. 13, and especially 69 (Treschow, Alter, Birch). Collated by Dr. Em. Hoffmann for Professor Ferrar where Alter and Birch disagree. See Cod. 13, for Abbott's recent edition.

125. Vind. Caes. Suppl. G. 50, formerly Kollar. 6 [x], 8-¾ × 6-7/8, ff. 306 (23), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict. (lect., subscr., στίχ., vers. later), with many corrections in the margin and between the lines (Treschow, Alter, Birch).

126. Guelpherbytanus xvi. 6, Aug. Quarto [xi], 8-¼ × 6-1/8, ff. 219 (26), carelessly written, Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., pict., with lect., syn. in a later hand, and some quite modern corrections. Matt. xxviii. 18-20 is cruciform, capitals often occur in the middle of words, and the text is of an unusual character. Inspected by (Heusinger 1752, Knittel, Tischendorf).

N.B. Codd. 127-181, all at Rome, were inspected, and a few (127, 131, 157) really collated by Birch, about 1782. Of 153 Scholz collated the greater part, and small portions of 138-44; 146-52; 154-57; 159-60; 162; 164-71; 173-75; 177-80.

127. Rom. Vatican. Gr. 349 [xi], 12-3/8 × 9-5/8, ff. 370 (16), ll. rubr., Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., a neatly written and important copy, with a few later corrections (e.g. Matt. xxvii. 49).

128. Rom. Vat. Gr. 356 [xi Birch, xiii or xiv Greg.], 12-½ × 9-5/8, ff. 370 (18), ll. rubr., prol., κεφ. t. with harmony, κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ. (p. 69, note).

(with addition), Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., pict., with scholia, Victor's commentary on St. Mark, and a note on John vii. 53, such as we read in Cod. 145 and others. Bought at Constantinople in 1438 by Nicolas de Cuza, Eastern Legate to the Council of Ferrara (see Cod. 87).

130. Rom. Vat. Gr. 359 [xiii Birch, xv or xvi Greg.], 11-1/8 × 8-¼, chart., ff. 229 (26), ll. rubr., κεφ. lat., a curious copy, with the Greek and Latin in parallel columns, and the Latin chapters.

131. (Act. 70, Paul. 77.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 360 [xi Birch, xiv or xv Greg.], 9-¼ × 7, ff. 233 (37), 2 cols., contains the whole New Testament except the Apoc. (Birch), with many remarkable variations, and a text somewhat like that of Aldus' Greek Testament (1518). The manuscript was given to Sixtus V [1585-90] for the Vatican by “Aldus Manuccius Paulli F. Aldi.” The Epistle to the Hebrews stands before 1 Tim. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., of an unusual arrangement (viz. Matt. 74, Mark 46, Luke 57). Am., syn., men., subscr., στίχ. (lect. with init. later). This copy contains many itacisms, and corrections primâ manu.

132. Rom. Vat. Gr. 361 [xi Birch, xii or xiii Greg.], 10-5/8 × 6-¼, ff. 289 (20), Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., Eus., subscr., pict. in aur., lect. (later).

133. (Act. 71, Paul. 78.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 363 [xi?], 7-7/8 × 6-3/8, ff. 332 (29), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., syn., men., pict., Euthalian prologues.

134. Rom. Vat. Gr. 364 [xi or xii], 4to, elegant, 8-½ × 6-1/8, ff. 297 (20), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., pict., titles in gold.

135. Rom. Vat. Gr. 365 [xi?], 9-5/8 × 7-7/8, κεφ. t., pict. The first 26 of its 174 leaves are later and chart.

136. Rom. Vat. Gr. 665 [xiii], 9-¾ × 6-¾, ff. 235 (32), on cotton paper; [pg 213] contains SS. Matthew and Mark with Euthymius' commentary. Mut. Mark xv. 1-end.

137. Rom. Vat. Gr. 756 [xi or xii], 11-¼ × 8-½, ff. 300 (19), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn., men., pict., with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). At the end we read κσ φραγκισκος ακκιδας ευγενης κολασσευς ... ρωμῃ ηγαγε το παρον βιβλιον ετει απο αδαμ ζφο [a.d. 1583], μηνι ιουλιῳ, ινδ. ια.

138. Rom. Vat. Gr. 757 [xii], 11-¾ × 9-1/8, ff. 380 (37), κεφ. t., with commentary from Origen, &c., and that of Victor on St. Mark, mixed up with the text, both in a slovenly hand (Burgon). Comp. Cod. 374.

139. Rom. Vat. Gr. 758 [dated 1173 by a somewhat later hand (Greg.)], 14-¾ × 10-7/8, ff. 233, contains SS. Luke and John with a commentary.

140. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1158 [xii], 9-¼ × 6-¾, ff. 408 (22), 2 cols., beautifully written, and given by the Queen of Cyprus to Innocent VII (1404-6). Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict. In Luke i. 64 it supports the Complutensian reading, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ διηρθρώθη.

141. (Act. 75, Paul. 86, Apoc. 40.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 1160 [xiii], 2 vols., 9-¼ × 6-½, ff. 400 (26), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., ἀναγν., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., pict., Euthal., contains the whole New Testament, syn., pict. The leaves are arranged in quaternions, but separately numbered for each Volume (Birch).

142. (Act. 76, Paul. 87.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 1210 [xi], 4-¾ × 3-¼, ff. 324 (30), very neat, κεφ. t. at end, κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., pict., Euthal. (syn., men., a.d. 1447), containing also the Psalms. There are many marginal readings in another ancient hand.

143. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1229 [xi], 12-½ × 9-¾, ff. 275 (24), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict., with a marginal commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). On the first leaf is read της ορθης πιστεως πιστῳ οικονομῳ και φυλακι Παυλῳ τετάρτῳ [1555-59].

144. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1254 [xi], 6-1/8 × 4-5/8, ff. 267, Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect.

The sheets are in twenty-one quaternions. After St. Matthew stands εκλογη εν συντομω εκ των συντεθεντων ὑπο Ευσεβιου προς Στεφανον λ.

152. Rom. Pal.-Vat. 227 [xiii], 8-½ × 6-¼, ff. 308 (20), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., pict.

154. Rom. Alexandrino-Vatican, vel Christinae 28 [dated April 14, 1442], written in Italy on cotton paper, 10-3/8 × 8-1/8, ff. 355 (40), ll. rubr., κεφ., Am. (lect., syn., men., and date later, true date xiii, Greg.), with Theophylact's commentary. This and the two next were given by Christina, Queen of Sweden, to Card. Azzolini, and bought from him by Alexander VIII (1689-91).

155. Rom. Alex.-Vat. 79 [xi? Birch, xiv Scholz], 6 × 4-3/8, ff. 306 (20), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn., subscr., στίχ., with some lessons from St. Paul prefixed. Given by Andrew Rivet to Rutgersius, Swedish Ambassador to the United Provinces. This copy is Wetstein's 99, the codex Rutgersii cited by Dan. Heinsius in his Exercitat. sacr. in Evangel.

156. Rom. Alex.-Vat. 189 [xii], 4-¾ × 4, ff. 244 (23), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am.; “ex bibliothecâ Goldasti” is on the first page.

157. Rom. Urbino-Vat. 2 [xii], 7-3/8 × 5-¼, ff. 325 (22), Carp., prol., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., subscr., pict. It belonged to the Ducal Library at Urbino, and was brought to Rome by Clement VII (1523-34). It is very beautifully written (Birch, N. T. 1788, gives a facsimile), certain chronicles and rich ornaments in vermilion and gold. On fol. 19 we read underneath two figures respectively Ιωαννης εν χω τω θω πιστος βασιλευς πορφυρογεννητος και αυτοκρατωρ ῥωμαιων, ὁ Κομνηνος, and Αλεξιος εν χω τω θω πιστος βασιλευς πορφυρογεννητος ὁ Κομνηνος. The Emperor John II the Handsome succeeded his father, the great Alexius, a.d. 1118. This MS. is remarkable for its eclectic text, which is said by Zahn to approach sometimes that of Marcion (Geschichte d. N. T. Kanons, i. 456, note 2, and 457, note 1). It is often in agreement with Codd. BDL, 69, 106, and especially with 1.

158. Cod. Pii II, Rom. Vat. 55 [xi], 3-½ × 3, ff. 235 (20), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (partial), and readings in the margin, primâ manu. This copy was given to the Library by Pius II (1458-64).

159. Rom. Barberinianus 464, formerly 8 [xi], 10-3/8 × 8-1/8, ff. 203 (23), 2 cols., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr. (Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., Matt., syn., men. xvi), in the Barberini Library, at Rome, [pg 215] founded above two centuries since by the Cardinal, Francis II, of that name.

160. Rom. Barb. iv. 27, formerly 9 [dated 1123], 8-7/8 × 7-1/8, ff. 216, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., subscr.

161. Rom. Barb. iii. 17, formerly 10 [x or xi], 8 × 6-½, ff. 203 (24), 2 cols., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (lect. later), ending at John xvi. 4. This copy follows the Latin version both in its text (John iii. 6) and marginal scholia (John vii. 29). Various readings are often thus noted in its margin.

162. Rom. Barb. iv. 31, formerly 11 [dated May 13, 1153 (ϛχξά), Indict. 1], 9-¼ × 6-¾, written by one Manuel: ff. 248 (23), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., pict., subscr.

163. Rom. Barb. v. 16, formerly 12 [xi], 11-1/8 × 8, ff. 173 (33), 2 cols., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., subscr., pict., written in Syria. Scholz says it contains only the portions of the Gospels read in Church-lessons, but Birch the four Gospels, with the numbers of ῥήματα and στίχοι to the first three Gospels.

164. Rom. Barb. iii. 38, formerly 13 [dated Oct. 1039], 6-7/8 × 5-3/8, ff. 214 (27), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., pict. (syn., men. later), and the numbers of στίχοι. The subscription states that it was written by Leo, a priest and calligrapher, and bought in 1168 by Bartholomew, who compared it with ancient Jerusalem manuscripts on the sacred mount.

165. Rom. Barb. v. 37, formerly 14 [dated 1291], 11-7/8 x 8, ff. 215, 2 cols., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., with the Latin Vulgate version. Written for one Archbishop Paul, and given to the Library by Eugenia, daughter of Jo. Pontanus.

166. Rom. Barb. iii. 131, formerly 115 [xiii], 4to, 8-3/8 × 6-½, ff. 75 (27), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., containing only SS. Luke ix. 33-xxiv. 24 and John.

167. Rom. Barb. iii. 6, formerly 208 [xiii], 4-7/8 × 3-¼, ff. 264 (25), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., pict. (later).

169. Rom. Vallicellianus B. 133 [xi], 4-¾ × 4, ff. 249 (19), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., syn., men., pict., once the property of Achilles Statius, as also was Cod. 171. This codex and the next three are in the Library of St. Maria in Vallicella at Rome, and belong to the Fathers of the Oratory of St. Philippo Neri.

170. Rom. Vallicell. C. 61 [xiii-xv], 8-½ × 6-¼, ff. 277 (23), prol., κεφ. t. κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ. (occasionally in later hand). The end of St. Luke and most of St. John is in a later hand.

171. Rom. Vallicell. C. 73 [xiv, Montfaucon xi], 5-¾ × 4-¼, ff. 253 (20), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr. 172. Rom. Vallicell. F. 90 [xii], 4to, ff. 217, now only contains the [pg 216] Pentateuch, but from Bianchini, I. ii. pp. 529-30, we infer that the Gospels were once there.

173. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1983, formerly Basil. 22, ending John xiii. 1, seems to have been written in Asia Minor [xi Birch and Burgon, xii or xiii Greg.], 7-7/8 × 5-¼, ff. 155 (20), 2 cols., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., men., subscr.; ῥήμ., στίχ. as in Codd. 163, 164, 167. This codex, and the next four, were brought from the Library of the Basilian monks.

174. Rom. Vat. Gr. 2002, formerly Basil. 41 [dated second hour of Sept. 7, a.d. 1052], 9-¾ × 7-½, ff. 132 (30), 2 cols., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ. Mut. Matt. i. 1-ii. 1; John i. 1-27; ending John viii. 47. Written by the monk Constantine “tabernis habitante,” “cum praeesset praefecturae Georgilas dux Calabriae” (Scholz).

175. (Act. 41, Paul. 194, Apoc. 20.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 2080, formerly Basil. 119 [x-xii], 8 × 5-¾, ff. 247, subscr., contains the whole New Testament, beginning Matt. iv. 17, with scholia to the Acts, between which and the Catholic Epistles stands the Apocalypse. There are some marginal corrections primâ manu (e.g. Luke xxiv. 13). The Pauline Epistles have Euthalius' subscriptions. Also inspected by Bianchini.

176. Rom. Vat. Gr. 2113, formerly Basil. 152 [x or xi], 8-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 77, ll. coloured, John ii. 1, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect. Begins Matt. x. 13, ends John ii. 1.

177. Rom. Vat. Gr.? formerly Basil. 163 [xi], 8vo, mut. John i. 1-29. Dr. Gregory thinks that it is 2115, his Evan. 870.

178. Rom. Angelicus A. 1. 5 [xii], 14-7/8 × 11-5/8, ff. 272 (23), 2 cols., Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ. with harmony, Am., mut. Jo. xxi. 17-25. Arranged in quaternions, and the titles to the Gospels resemble those in Cod. 69. Codd. 178-9 belong to the Angelica convent of Augustinian Eremites at Rome. It has on the first leaf the same subscription as we gave under Cod. 87, and which Birch and Scholz misunderstand.

179. Rom. Angelic. A. 4. 11 [xii], 7-¾ × 6-½, ff. 248 (22), Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (syn., men., xv or xvi, chart.). The last five leaves (214-18) and two others (23, 30) are chart., and in a later hand.

180. (Act. 82, Paul. 92, Apoc. 44.) Rom. Propagandae L. vi. 19, formerly 251, before Borgiae 2 [Gospels xi, Greg. xiv], 8-1/8 × 5-¼, ff.? κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (syn., men., xv chart.); the Gospels were written by one Andreas: the rest of the New Testament and some apocryphal books by one John, November, 1284[246]. This manuscript, with Cod. T and Evst. 37, belonged to the Velitrant Museum of “Praesul Steph. Borgia, Collegii Urbani de Propaganda Fide a secretis.”

181. Cod. Francisci Xavier, Cardinal. de Zelada [xi], fol., ff. 596, with scholia in the margin. This manuscript (from which Birch took [pg 217] extracts) is now missing. Compare Birch, N. T., Proleg. p. lviii; Burgon, Last Twelve Verses &c., pp. 284, 288.

Codd. 182-198, all in that noble Library at Florence, founded by Cosmo de' Medici [d. 1464], increased by his grandson Lorenzo [d. 1492], were very slightly examined by Birch, and subsequently by Scholz. Dean Burgon has described his own researches at Florence in the Guardian for August 20 and 27, 1873, from which I have thankfully corrected the statements made in my first edition respecting all the manuscripts there. They have been examined since then more leisurely by Dr. Gregory, from whose careful account some particulars have been added in this edition (see Greg., Prolegomena (ii), pp. 505-509).

182. Flor. Laurentianus Plut. vi. 11 [xii], 10 × 7-1/8, ff. 226 (24), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ. to St. John only, subscr. (in Luke). The titles of the Gospels in lake, forming a kind of imitation of ropework.

183. Flor. Laur. vi. 14 [xiv, xii Greg.], 6-½ × 5-1/8, ff. 349 (19), Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. in gold; and in a later hand, capp. Lat., ἀναγν., lect., syn., men., at the end of which is τέλος σὺν Θεῷ ἁγίῳ τοῦ μηνολογίου, ἀμήν; αυιή´, i.e. a.d. 1418. This mode of reckoning is very rare (see p. [42], note 2), and tempted Scholz to read ϛυιή of the Greek era, i.e. a.d. 910.

184. Flor. Laur. vi. 15 [xiii], 11-¼ × 5-½, ff. 72 (49), 2 cols., Carp., prol., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., lect. Left in an unfinished state.

185. Flor. Laur. vi. 16 [xii], 14 × 6-¾, ff. 341 (21), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ. The summary of the Synaxarion is subscribed Πόνος Βασιλείου, καὶ Θῦ λόγου λόγοι (Burgon).

186. Flor. Laur. vi. 18 [xi], fol., 11-1/8 × 8-½, ff. 260 (20), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., pict. (Matt.), commentary (Victor's on St. Mark); written by Leontius, a calligrapher. Burgon cites Bandini's Catal. i. 130-3, where the elaborate syn. are given in full.

187. Flor. Laur. vi. 23 [xii], 7-7/8 x 6-¼, ff. 212 (25), pict. very rich and numerous. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), all in gold. A peculiar kind of asterisk occurs very frequently in the text and margin, the purpose of which is not clear.

188. Flor. Laur. vi. 25 [xi], 6 × 4-½, ff. 228 (26), syn. and men. full and beautiful. Prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ.

189. (Act. 141, Paul. 239.) Flor. Laur. vi. 27 [xii], 4-½ × 3-7/8, ff. 452 (24), κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., Euthal. in Cath. and Paul., minute and beautifully written, mut. from John xix. 38.

190. Flor. Laur. vi. 28 [July, 1285, Ind. 13], 8vo, 5-5/8 × 4-3/8, ff. 439 (17), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., pict.

191. Flor. Laur. vi. 29 [xiii], 5-1/8 × 3-¾, ff. 180 (27), prol., κεφ. Lat., subscr., with στίχοι numbered: ἀναγνώσματα marked in a more recent hand.

192. Flor. Laur. vi. 30 [xiii], 4-¾ × 3-½, ff. 200 (28), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., [pg 218] τίτλ., lect., subscr., Am. and Eus. in one line, the latter later (see Cod. 112): ἀρχὴ of lect., never τέλος.

193. Flor. Laur. vi. 32 [xi], 8vo, 6-¼ × 5, ff. 165 (27), Carp., Eus. t., pict., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), (ἀναγν., lect. in later hand).

194. Flor. Laur. vi. 33 [xi], 11-¾ × 9-¾, ff. 263 (22), pict., and a marginal catena (Victor's on St. Mark) resembling that of Cod. 34: e.g. on Luke xxiv. 13. Κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), subscr., στίχ., pict. Begins Matt. iii. 7.

195. Flor. Laur. vi. 34 [xi], 10-7/8 × 8-5/8, ff. 277 (25), once belonged to the Cistercian convent of S. Salvator de Septimo. Prol. (the same as in Cod. 186 but briefer, attributed to Eusebius), syn., and a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). The date of the year is lost, but the month (May) and indiction (8) remain. Κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men.

196. Flor. Laur. viii. 12 [xii], 9-¾ × 7-¼, ff. 369 (44), prol., κεφ. t. (all together at the beginning), κεφ., τίτλ., the text in red letters (see p. [184], note 1), pict., with a catena in black. Given by a son of Cosmo de' Medici in 1473 to the Convent of St. Mark at Florence.

197. (Act. 90.) Flor. Laur. viii. 14 [xi], fol., 11-¾ × 9-¼, ff. 154 (29), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., contains the Epistle of St. James with a marginal gloss: also portions of SS. Matthew and Mark, with Chrysostom's commentary on St. Matthew, and Victor's on St. Mark, all imperfect.

198. Flor. Laur. Ædil. 221 [xiii], 4to, 9-¾ × 6-5/8, ff. 171 (29), chart., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., lect., subscr.: from the library “Aedilium Flor. Ecc.” Here again Am. and Eus. are in the same line (see Cod. 112): the ἀναγνώσματα also are numbered.

Codd. 199-203 were inspected, rather than collated, by Birch at Florence before 1788; the first two in the Benedictine library of St. Maria; the others in that of St. Mark, belonging to the Dominican Friars. Scholz could not find any of them, but 201 is Wetstein's 107, Scrivener's m; 202 is now in the British Museum, Addit. 14,774. The other two Burgon found in the Laurentian Library, whither they came at the suppression of monasteries in 1810. They were examined afterwards by Gregory.

199. Flor. Laur. Conv. Sopp. 160, formerly Badia 99 or S. Mariae 67 [xii], 5-5/8 × 4-¾, ff. 229 (25), Eus. t., κεφ. t. with harm., κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., pict., lect., with iambic verses and various scholia. The στίχοι are numbered and, besides Am., Eus., there exists in parts a Harmony at the foot of the pages, such as is described in p. [58], note 2.

200. Flor. Laur. Conv. Sopp. 159, formerly Badia 69 or S. Mariae 66 [x], 8-¾ × 6-7/8, ff. 229 (25), pict., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., Am., all in gold: Eus. in red, κεφ., τίτλ., with fragments of Gregory of Nyssa against the Arians (syn. and men. xiv). There are many scholia in vermilion scattered throughout the book. Codd. 199, 200 were presented to St. Maria's by Antonia Corbinelli [d. 1423]: the latter from St. Justina's, another Benedictine house.

*201. (Act. 91, Paul. 104, Apoc. 94.) Lond. Brit. Mus. Addit. 11,837, [pg 219] formerly Praedicator. S. Marci 701 [Oct. 7, 1357, Ind. 11], 13-½ × 11, ff. 492 (22), is mscr. in the Gospels, pscr. in Act., Paul., and bscr. in Apoc. This splendid copy was purchased for the British Museum from the heirs of Dr. Samuel Butler, Bishop of Lichfield. It contains the whole New Testament; was first cited by Wetstein (107) from notices by Jo. Lamy, in his “de Eruditione Apostolorum,” Florence, 1738; glanced at by Birch, and stated by Scholz (N. T. vol. ii. pp. xii, xxviii) to have been cursorily collated by himself: how that is possible can hardly be understood, as he elsewhere professes his ignorance whither the manuscript had gone (N. T. vol. i. p. lxxii). Scrivener collated the whole volume. There are many changes by a later hand, also syn., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., some Eus., lect., prol., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., vers., and some foreign matter.

202. Brit. Mus. Addit. 14,774, formerly Praed. S. Marci 705 [xii], 10 × 8, ff. 278 (21), κεφ. t. (in red and gold), orn., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (the last often omitted), lect., subscr., στίχ., men., syn. This splendid copy cost the Museum £84 (Bloomfield).

203. Flor. Bibl. Nat. Convent. i. 10, 7, formerly Praed. S. Marci 707 [xv], 8-5/8 × 5-¾, chart., is really in modern Greek. Birch cites it for John vii. 53, but it ought to be expunged from the list.

204. (Act. 92, Paul. 105.) [xi or xiii], Bologna, Bibl. Univ. 2775, formerly Bononiensis Canonicor. Regular. St. Salvador 640. After the suppression of the house in 1867, it was moved to its present place. 7-¾ × 5-3/8, ff. 443 (25). Syn., κεφ., ἀναγνώσματα numbered (without Am., Carp.), lect., pict. (Birch, Scholz, corrected by Burgon). Also τίτλ., men., subscr., στίχ.

Codd. 205-215, 217 in the Ducal palace at Venice, were slightly examined by Birch in 1783, carefully by Burgon in 1872, and by Gregory in 1886.

205. (Act. 93, Paul. 106, Apoc. 88.) Venice, Mark 5 [xv], large fol., 15-½ × 11, ff. 441 (55, 56), prol. (Cath., Paul.), κεφ. t., κεφ. (Gr. and Lat.), τίτλ., subscr., contains both Testaments, with many peculiar readings. It was written for Cardinal Bessarion (apparently by John Rhosen his librarian), the donor of all these books. This is Dean Holmes' No. 68 in the Septuagint, and contains a note in the Cardinal's hand: τόπος μκ. Ἡ θεία γραφὴ παλαιά τε καὶ νέα πᾶσα; κτῆμα Βησσαρίωνος Καρδηνάλεως Ἐπισκόπου Οαβινων τοῦ (sic) καὶ Νικαίας. By τόπος μκ Holmes understands the class mark of the volume in Bessarion's Library. W. F. Rinck considers it in the Gospels a copy of Cod. 209 (“Lucubratio Critica in Act. Apost. Epp. C. et P.,” Basileae, 1830). Burgon, who fully admits their wonderful similarity in respect to the text, judges that Cod. 205, which is much more modern than Cod. 209, was transcribed from the same uncial archetype.

206. (Act. 94, Paul. 107, Apoc. 101.) Ven. Mark 6 [xv or xvi], 15 × 10-5/8, ff. 431, like Codd. 69 and 233, is partly on parchment, partly on paper. It contains both Testaments, but is not numbered for the Apocalypse. A mere duplicate of Cod. 205, as Holmes saw clearly: it is his No. 122.

207. Ven. Mark 8 [xi or xii], 10-7/8 × 8-3/8, ff. 267 (22), 2 cols., Carp., [pg 220] prol., pict., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.) in gold, syn., men., mut. in Matt. i. 1-13; Mark i. 1-11, for the sake of the gorgeous illuminations. Written in two columns. Once owned by A. F. R.

208. Ven. Mark 9 [xi or xii], 7-1/8 × 5-¾, ff. 239 (23), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., of some value.

209. (Act. 95, Paul. 108, Apoc. 46.) Ven. Mark 10 [xi, xiv Greg.], 7-¾ × 4-¾, ff. 411 (27), of the whole New Testament, once Bessarion's, who had it with him at the Council of Florence, 1439. There are numerous minute marginal notes in vermilion, obviously primâ manu. In its delicate style of writing this copy greatly resembles Cod. 1 (facsimile No. [23]). Κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), also the modern chapters in the margin. Prol. to Epistles, lect., but not much in the Gospels, before each of which stands a blank leaf, as if for pict. A good collation of Codd. 205 and 209 is needed; Birch did little, Engelbreth gave him some readings, and Fleck has published part of a collation by Heimbach. Rinck collated Apoc. i-iii. In the Gospels they are very like Codd. B, 1. The Apocalypse is in a later hand, somewhat resembling that of Cod. 205, and has prol. For the unusual order of the books, see above, p. [72].

210. Ven. Mark 27 [xi or xii], a noble fol., 14 × 11-7/8, ff. 372, with a catena (Victor's commentary on St. Mark). Mut. Matt. i. 1-ii. 18, from the same cause as in Cod. 207. Rich blue and gold illuminations, and pictures of SS. Mark and Luke. Τίτλ., κεφ., pict.

211. Ven. Mark 539 [xii], fol., 11-½ × 9-½, ff. 280 (29-26), 2 cols., mut. Luke i. 1-ii. 32; John i. 1-iv. 2, with an Arabic version in the right-hand column of each page. Κεφ. t., Am., Eus. (irregularly inserted), lect., syn., men., subscr., ῥήμ., στίχ.

Burgon cites Zanetti, Graeca D. Marc. Bibl. Codd. MSS., Venet. 1740, p. 291, for the enumeration of the five Patriarchates (see above, p. [67]), and other curious matter appended to St. John. The heading of the second Gospel is εὐαγγέλιον ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Μάρκον.

212. Ven. Mark 540 [xi or xii], 6-7/8 × 5, ff. 273 (23), the first page in gold, with pict. and most elaborate illuminations. Much mut., twenty leaves being supplied in a modern hand. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ., vers., τίτλ., lect., Am. with Eus. in a line with them (see Cod. 112), a little later, carried only to the end of St. Mark.

213. Ven. Mark 542 [xi], 8vo, 8-1/8 × 6-¼, ff. 356 (18), mut. John xviii. 40-xxi. 25. Eus. t., τίτλ., κεφ. (Am., Eus. most irregularly inserted), few ἀρχαί and τέλη, ἀναγν., heroic verses as colophons to the Gospels. Large full stops are found in impossible places.

214. Ven. Mark 543 [xiv], 8vo, 9-¾ × 6-¼, ff. 227 (27), chart., argent., prol., κεφ. t. with harm., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), ἀναγν., lect., syn., men., subscr., vers.

215. Ven. Mark 544 [xi], fol., 12-¾ × 9-½, ff. 271 (24), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t. with harm., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., pict. (later). This copy is a duplicate of Codd. 20, 300, as well in its text as in the subscriptions and commentary, being without any of the later corrections [pg 221] seen in Cod. 20. The commentary on St. John is Chrysostom's, those on the other Gospels the same as in Cod. 300 (Burgon).

216. Codex Canonici, brought by him from Corcyra, written in a small character [no date assigned], never was at St. Mark's, as Scholz alleges: Griesbach inserted it in his list through a misunderstanding of Birch's meaning. It is probably one of those now at Oxford, to be described hereafter (see Codd. 489, 490).

217. Ven. Mark, Gr. i. 3, given in 1478 by Peter de Montagnana to the monastery of St. John in Viridario, at Padua (viii. A.) [xii or xiii], 8-1/8 × 6-1/8, ff. 306 (21), in fine condition. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), full syn., few lect., prol., vers. Codd. 218-225 are in the Imperial Library at Vienna. Alter and Birch collated them about the same time, the latter but cursorily, and Gregory examined them in 1887.

*218. (Act. 65, Paul. 57, Apoc. 33.) Vindobon. Caesar, Nessel. 23, formerly 1 [xiii], fol., 12-½ × 8-¾, ff. 623 (49, 50), 2 cols., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., Euthal. in Acts, Cath., Paul., contains both Testaments. Mut. Apoc. xiii. 5-xiv. 8; xv. 7-xvii. 2; xviii. 10-xix. 15; ending at xx. 7 λυθήσεται. This important copy, containing many peculiar readings, was described by Treschow, and comprises the text of Alter's inconvenient, though fairly accurate N. T. 1786-7, to be described in Vol. II. Like Cod. 123 it was brought from Constantinople by De Busbeck.

219. Vind. Caes. Ness. 321, formerly 32 [xiii], 6-¼ × 4-¾, ff. 232 (21), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr.

220. Vind. Caes. Ness. 337, formerly 33 [xiv], 12mo, 3-7/8 × 2-5/8, ff. 303 (22), in very small letters, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn.

221. Vind. Caes. Ness. 117, formerly 38 [x or xi], 11 × 7-5/8, ff. 251 (41-43), with commentaries (Chrysostom on Matt., John; Victor on Mark, Titus of Bostra on Luke), to which the fragments of text here given are accommodated.

222. Vind. Caes. Ness. 180, formerly 39 [xiv], 8-½ × 6, ff. 346 (32), on cotton paper, mut. Contains fragments of the Gospels, with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). This and the last were brought from Constantinople by De Busbeck.

223. Vind. Caes. 301, formerly 40 [xiv, Greg. x], 7 × 5-½, ff. 115 (32), contains fragments of SS. Matthew, Luke, and John, with a catena. Codd. 221-3 must be cited cautiously: Alter appears to have made no systematic use of them.

224. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 97, formerly Kollar. 8 [xii], 5-½ × 4-5/8, ff. 97 (19), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., subscr., only contains St. Matthew. This copy came from Naples.

225. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 102, formerly Kollar. 9 [dated ϛψ´ or a.d. 1192], 5-3/8 × 3-7/8, ff. 171 (29), pict., lect., ἀγαγν., syn., men.

Codd. 226-233 are in the Escurial, described by D. G. Moldenhawer, who collated them about 1783, loosely enough, for Birch's edition. In 1870 the Librarian, José Fernandez Montana (in order to correct Haenel's [pg 222] errors) sent to Mr. Wm. Kelly, who obligingly communicated it to me, a complete catalogue of the four copies of the Greek Bible, and of nineteen of the New Testament “neither more or less,” then at the Escurial, with their present class-marks. I do not recognize, either in his list or in that subjoined, the “Codex Aureus containing the Four Gospels in letters of gold, a work of the early part of the eleventh century,” spoken of in the Globe newspaper of Oct. 3, 1872, on occasion of the fire at the Escurial on Oct. 2, which however did not touch the manuscripts. Perhaps that Codex is in Latin, unless it be Evst. 40. See also Emmanuel Miller, Cat. des MSS. Gr. de la Bibl. de l'Escurial, Paris, a.d. 1848.

226. (Act. 108, Paul. 228.) Cod. Escurialensis χ. iv. 17 [xi], 8vo, ff. ?, on the finest vellum, richly ornamented, in a small, round, very neat hand. Eus. t., κεφ. t., lect., pict., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus. Many corrections were made by a later hand, but the original text is valuable, and the readings sometimes unique. Fairly collated.

227. Escurial. χ. iii. 15 [xiii], 4to, ff. 158, prol., κεφ. t., Am., pict. A later hand, which dates from 1308, has been very busy in making corrections.

228. (Act. 109, Paul. 229.) Escurial. χ. iv. 12 [xiv, Montana xvi], 8vo, ff. ?, chart. Once belonged to Nicolas Nathanael of Crete, then to Andreas Damarius of Epidaurus, a calligrapher. Eus. t., syn.[247]

229. Escurial. χ. iv. 21 [dated 1140], 8vo, ff. 296, written by Basil Argyropolus, a notary. Mut. Mark xvi. 15-20; John i. 1-11. Pict., lect.; the latter by a hand of about the fourteenth century, which retraced much of the discoloured ink, and corrected in the margin (since mutilated by the binder) very many important readings of the first hand, which often resemble those of ADK. i. 72. This copy must be mislaid, as it is not in Montana's list.

230. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ).[248] iii. 5 [dated Oct. 29, 1013, with the wrong Indiction, 11 for 12: Montana's date is 1014, and the error is probably not his: see p. [42], note 2], 4to, ff. 218, written by Luke a monk and priest, with double syn.[249], Carp., κεφ. t., subscr., ῥήμ, στίχ.: see p. [67], note. An interesting copy, deemed by Moldenhawer worthy of closer examination.

231. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ). iii. 6 [xii], 4to, ff. 181, lect., Eus. t., torn, κεφ. t., a picture “quae Marcum mentitur,” subscr., στίχ., syn., men. There are some marginal glosses by a later hand (which obelizes John vii. 53 seq.), and a Latin version above parts of St. Matthew.

232. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ). iii. 7 [xiii: dated 1292, Montana], 4to, ff. 288, very elegant but otherwise a poor copy. Double syn., τίτλοι in the margin of SS. Matthew and Luke, but elsewhere kept apart.

233. Escurial. Υ. ii. 8 [xi ?, Montana xiii], ff. 279, like Codd. 69 and 206, is partly of parchment, partly paper, in bad condition, and once [pg 223] belonged to Matthew Dandolo, a Venetian noble. It has a catena, and by reason of ligatures, &c. (see p. [43]), is hard to read. prol., κεφ. t., Eus. t. (apart), vers., ῥήμ., στίχ.

234. (Act. 57, Paul. 72.) Cod. Havniensis reg. theol. 1322, formerly 1 [dated 1278], 10 × 7-3/8, ff. 315 (35), 2 cols., one of the several copies written by Theodore (see p. [43], note 1). This copy and Cod. 235 are now in the Royal Library at Copenhagen, but were bought at Venice by G. Rostgaard in 1699. The order of the books in Cod. 234 is described p. 73. Carp., Eus. t., lect., syn., men., with many corrections. (C. G. Hensler, 1784.)

235. Havniens. reg. theol. 1323, formerly 2 [dated 1314], 4to, ff. 279, chart., written by the ἱερομόναχος Philotheus, though very incorrectly; the text agrees much with Codd. DK. i. 33 and the Harkleian Syriac. Κεφ. t., lect.; the words are often ill divided and the stops misplaced (Hensler).

236[250]. London, J. Bevan Braithwaite 3 [xi], 6-½ × 4-3/8, ff. 256 (20), 7 chart., syn., men., Eus. t., Am., κεφ., some τίτλ., some lect., κεφ. t. Mut. at beginning and at end after John ix. 28. Beautifully written. Bought at Athens in 1889. Collated by W. C. Braithwaite.

Codd. 237-259 are nearly all Moscow manuscripts, and were thoroughly collated by C. F. Matthaei, for his N. T., to be described in Vol. II. These Russian codices were for the most part brought from the twenty-two monasteries of Mount Athos by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nico, in the reign of Michael, son of Alexius (1645-76), and placed in the Library of the Holy Synod, at Moscow.

*237. Mosc. S. Synod 42 [x], fol., ff. 288, Matthaei's d, from Philotheus (a monastery), pict., with scholia, and Victor's commentary on St. Mark.

*238. Mosc. Syn. 48 (Mt. e) [xi], fol., ff. 355, Eus. t. (mut.), κεφ. t., pict., with a catena and scholia; contains only SS. Matthew and Mark, but is of good quality. This copy formed the basis of Matthaei's edition of Victor's commentary on St. Mark, 1775 (Burgon).

*239. Mosc. Syn. 47 (Mt. g) [xi], fol., ff. 277, Eus. t., κεφ. t. (Luke, John), contains Mark xvi. 2-8; Luke; John to xxi. 23, with scholia.

*240. Mosc. Syn. 49 (Mt. i) [xii], fol., ff. 410, κεφ. t., once belonging to Philotheus, then to Dionysius (monasteries) on Athos, with the commentary of Euthymius Zigabenus. Mut. Mark viii. 12-34; xiv. 17-54; Luke xv. 32-xvi. 8.

*241. Mosc. (Act. 104, Paul. 120, Apoc. 47) Dresdensis Reg. A. 172 (Tregelles), once Matthaei's (k) [xi], 4to, 8-7/8 × 6-¾, ff. 356 (31), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., syn., men. (Gregory); Epp. prol., κεφ. t., the whole N. T. (p. [69], note), beautifully written, with rare readings. Bought by Alexius for fifty-two aspri at the siege of Constantinople (a.d. 1453), afterwards [pg 224] given by Pachonius to a monastery at Athos, and thence called δοχειαρίου.

*242. Mosc. (Act. 105, Paul. 121, Apoc. 48) Syn. 380 (Mt. l) [xii], 8vo, ff. 510, the whole N. T., with Psalms, ᾠδαί, prol., pict., Am.

243. Mosc. Cod. Typographei S. Syn. 13 (Mt. m) [xiv], fol., chart., ff. 224, from the Iberian monastery on Athos, contains SS. Matthew and Luke with Theophylact's commentary.

*244. Mosc. Typograph. 1 (Mt. n) [xii], fol., ff. 274, pict., with Euthymius Zigabenus' commentary.

*245. Mosc. Syn. 265, 278, formerly (Greg.) (Mt. o) [dated 1199], 4to, ff. 246, from the famous monastery of Batopedion, written by John, a priest.

*246. Mosc. Syn. 261 (Mt. p) [xiv], 4to, chart., ff. 189, syn., κεφ. t., with marginal various readings. Mut. Matt. xii. 41-xiii. 55; John xvii. 24-xviii. 20.

*247. Mosc. Syn. 373 (Mt. q) [xii], 8vo, ff. 223, syn., men., κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., prol., from Philotheus.

*248. Mosc. Syn. 264 (Mt. r) [dated 1275], 4to, ff. 260 (8 chart. + 252), κεφ. t. (chart.), Eus., lect., written by Meletius a Beraean for Cyrus Alypius, οἰκόνομος of St. George's monastery, in the reign of Michael Palaeologus (1259-82).

*249. Mosc. Syn. 94 (Mt. s) [xi], fol., ff. 809 (more likely 309 as Greg.), from Παντοκράτωρ monastery (as Cod. 74). Contains St. John with a catena.

*250. Mosc. Syn. in a box (Mt. v) [xiii], small 8vo, ff. 225, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., syn., is the cursive portion of Cod V (see p. [144], and note), John vii. 39-xxi. 25. It is also Wetstein's Cod. 87.

*251. Mosc. Tabularii Caesarei (Mt. x) [xi], 4to, ff. 270, Carp., Eus. t., pict., Am., presented to a monastery in a.d. 1400.

*252. Dresd. Reg. A. 145 (Tregelles), once Matthaei's (z) [xi], 8-5/8 × 7, ff. 123 (31), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν. (Greg.), with corrections and double readings (as from another copy), but primâ manu.

*253. Mosc. of Nicephorus Archbishop of Cherson “et Slabinii” (Slaviansk ?)[251], formerly belonged to the monastery of St. Michael at Jerusalem (Mt. 10) [xi], fol., ff. 248, prol., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., with scholia, Victor's commentary on St. Mark, and rare readings, much resembling those of Cod. 259.

*254. Dresd. A. 100 (Matthaei 11) (Tregelles) [xi], 11-5/8 × 9-1/8, ff. 247 (24), κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., Eus., pict., from the monastery of St. Athanasius. Contains SS. Luke and John with scholia.

*255. Mosc. Syn. 139 (Mt. 12) [xiii], fol., ff. 299 chart. +9, once “Dionysii monachi rhetoris et amicorum.” Commentaries of Chrysostom and others (ἐξηγητικαὶ ἐκλογαί), with fragments of the text interspersed.

*256. Mosc. Typogr. Syn. 3 (Mt. 14) [ix ?], fol., ff. 147, scholia on SS. Mark and Luke, with portions of the text. The commentary on St. Mark is ascribed to Victor, but in this copy and the preceding the scholia are but few in number (Burgon).

*257. Mosc. Syn. 120 (Mt. 15) is Evan. O, described above.

*258. Dresd. Reg. A. 123 (Tregelles), (Mt. 17) [xiii], 8-½ × 6-½, ff. 126, barbarously written; pict., lect., syn.

*259. Mosc. Syn. 45 (Mt. a) [xi], fol., ff. 263, Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., syn., men., from the Iberian monastery, with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). This is one of Matthaei's best manuscripts. His other twenty-two copies contain portions of Chrysostom, and therefore come under the head of Patristic Quotations.

Codd. 260-469 were added to the list by Scholz: the very few he professes to have collated thoroughly will be distinguished by an asterisk.

260. Paris National. Gr. 51 [xiii], 12 × 8-¾, ff. 241 (24), prol., argent., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict., once (like Cod, 309) “domini du Fresne”; correctly written.

261. Par. Nat. Gr. 52 [xiv], 11 × 8-7/8, ff. 175, κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., lect., ἀναγν. (subscr., στίχ. later), once at the monastery of the Forerunner at Constantinople. Mut. Luke xxiv. 39-53. Matt. i. 1-xi. 1 supplied [xiv] chart.

*262. Par. Nat. Gr. 53 [x], 12-¾ × 9-7/8, ff. 212 (27), 2 cols., κεφ. t., κεφ., some τίτλ. (Am., Eus., harm. at bottom of page, except in Luke, John, where too Am. is later), subscr., with rare readings, like those of Evan. Λ and Evann. 300, 376, 428.

263. (Act. 117, Paul. 137.) Par. Nat. Gr. 61 [xiii], 8-¼ × 6-1/8 ff. 294 (28, 29), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ. Probably from Asia Minor. It once belonged to Jo. Hurault Boistaller, as did Codd. 301, 306, 314.

264. Par. Nat. Gr. 65 [xiii], 4to, 8 × 5-3/8, ff. 287 (20), κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., harm., subscr., στίχ., syn., with what have been called Coptic-like letters, but brought from the East in 1718 by Paul Lucas. The leaves are misplaced in binding, as are those of Cod. 272. At the foot of every page is a harmony like those in Codd. E, Wd. See p. [58], note 2 (Burgon).

Of these copies, 265-270, Burgon states that the grand 4to Cod. 265 seems to contain an important text, 270 a peculiar text, though less beautiful externally than 266, 267, 269. Cod. 268 in double columns has Eus. t. very superb, but pict. of Evangelists only sketched in ink. Cod. 269, once belonging to Henry IV (in which the last leaf of St. Luke is missing), is in its ancient binding, and is full of very uncommon representations of Gospel incidents.

265. Par. Nat. Gr. 66 [x], 9-7/8 × 7-½, ff. 372, κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., once belonged to Philibert de la Mare.

266. Par. Nat. Gr. 67 [x], 9-½ × 6-½, ff. 282 (23), κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., lect., subscr., vers., syn., men.

267. Par. Nat. Gr. 69 [x], 8 × 6-1/8, ff. 396 (19), prol., κεφ. t., Am., Eus. in same line, lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ. Mut. Matt. i. 1-8; Mark i. 1-7; Luke i. 1-8; xxiv. 50-John i. 12.

268. Par. Nat. Gr. 73 [xii], 9-¾ × 7-¾, ff. 217 (25), 2 cols., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., pict.

269. Par. Nat. Gr. 74 [xi], 9-¼ × 7-¾, ff. 215 (28), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., vers., pict., Eus. t. (later).

270. Par. Nat. Gr. 75 [xi], 7-¼ × 5-¼, ff. 346 (19), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict., syn., men., with a mixed text.

271. Par. Nat. Gr. Suppl. Gr. 75 [xii], 8vo, 7-3/8 × 5-¼, ff. 252 (22), 2 cols., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., pict.

272. Brit. Mus. Addit. 15,581 [xii], 5-½ × 4-¾, ff. 218 (21), κεφ. t., κεφ., few τίτλ., Am., Eus. (mostly omitted). Once Melchisedek Thevenot's. Gregory traces it through the Paris Nat. Library and Th. Rodd to the Brit. Museum, which purchased it.

273. Par. Nat. Gr. 79, 4to, 8-5/8 × 6-¼, ff. 201 (29-31), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t. with harm., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., subscr., vers., and syn., men. again in the later hand, on vellum [xii], but partly on cotton paper [xiv] contains also some scholia, extracts from Severianus' commentary, annals of the Gospels, a list of the Gospel parables, with a mixed text.

274. Par. Nat. Gr. Suppl. Gr. 79 [x], 9-3/8 × 6-½, ff. 232 (26), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., once belonged to Maximus Panagiotes, protocanon of the Church at Callipolis (there were many places of this name: but see Evan. 346). Mut. (but supplied in a later hand) Mark i. 1-17; vi. 21-54; John i. 1-20; iii. 18-iv. 1; vii. 23-42; ix. 10-27; xviii. 12-29. Dean Burgon had a photograph of this manuscript, which he regarded as a specimen of the transition period between uncial and cursive writing. The subscription, resembling that of Cod. L, set in the margin of Cod. 274, he judges to look as old as that of L: see Chapter IX, Mark xvi. 9-20.

275. Par. Nat. Gr. 80 [xi], 10-1/8 × 8-1/8, ff. 230 (24), prol., argent., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., antea Memmianus.

276. Par. Nat. Gr. 81 [a.d. 1092], 7-7/8 × 5-¾, ff. 307, Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., pict., vers., written by Nicephorus of the monastery Meletius.

277. Par. Nat. Gr. 81 A [xi], 6-¾ × 5-1/8, ff. 261, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ. (ἀναγν., syn., men., pict. later).

278. Par. Nat. Gr. 82 [xii, Greg. a.d. 1072], 8 × 5-7/8, ff. 305 (21), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., syn., men., vers., pict., once Mazarin's, with Armenian inscriptions. Matt. xiii. 43-xvii. 5 is in a later hand.

279. Par. Nat. Gr. 86 [xii], 7 × 5-3/8, ff. 250, Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., syn.; this copy and Cod. 294 were brought from Patmos and given to Louis XIV in 1686 by Joseph Georgirenus, Archbishop of Samos.

421. (Act. 176, Paul. 218.) Syracusanus (Schulz's 238) [xii] ?, once Landolini's; prol., Eus. t. Dr. Gregory could not find it.

(later), subscr., στίχ., syn., men., roughly written in two columns by the monk Joseph, but St. John in a somewhat more recent hand; described by Ignatius Hardt and Dean Burgon.

423. Mon. Reg. 36 [1556], chart., 13-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 465 (30), contains St. Matthew with Nicetas' catena. Marked. Τόμος A and superbly bound, as in Cod. 432. The same scribe wrote Codd. 424, 425, 432 (Burgon).

424. Mon. Reg. 83 [xvi], chart., 13-3/8 × 8-¾, ff. 399, contains St. Luke with the commentary of Titus of Bostra and others.

Matthew and John, with the text. Burgon declares that the date June 20, a.d. 978, Indiction 6, which we took from Scholz (see above, p. [41], note 2), is that of the manuscript this was copied from, not of Cod. 429 itself. In that case we have another early dated cursive the less. Gregory, Prolegomena, p. 449, inclines to the placing of this MS. amongst the uncials.

430. Mon. Reg. 437 [xi], 11-5/8 × 8-5/8, ff. 354 (24), contains John i-viii with the catena of Nicetas, metropolitan of Heraclia Serrarum in Macedonia, now Xevosna. Martin Crusius of Tübingen procured it from Leontius, a Cyprian monk, in 1590, and sent it to the Library at Augsburg.

431. (Act. 180, Paul. 238.) Molsheimensis [xii], Eus. t., prol. with many unusual readings, was brought to Strasburg from the Jesuits' College at Molsheim in Alsace. Extracts were made from it by the Jesuit Hermann Goldhagen (N. T. Mogunt. 1753), and it was collated by Arendt, 1833. “Periit a. 1870,” Gregory.

432. Mon. Reg. 99 [xvi], chart., 13-½ × 8-7/8 ff. 572 (30), contains St. Mark with the commentary of Victor of Antioch, being the same copy as Peltanus used for his Latin edition of that work, Ingolstad, 1580.

436. Meerman. 117 [a.d. 1322], ff. 277. Dr. Gregory has traced this MS. to No. 54 in the library of the Jesuit College at Clermont, then to Meerman, then to Payne a London bookseller, who bought it in 1824. It is not known now. For the MS. once in Dean Burgon's possession but in the Bodleian Library, see Evan. 562.

437. Petropol. Caes. [xi], like Cod. E of the Pauline Epistles, one leaf of the Colbert Pentateuch, and some other manuscripts, has found its way from the Coislin library and the Abbey of St. Germain des Prés near Paris, to St. Petersburg. It was written by Michael Cerularius, Patriarch of Constantinople, and noticed by Matthaei (N. T. iii. p. 99, 2nd ed.). Not in Muralt's List.

441, 442, at Cambridge, must be removed from Scholz's list; they are printed editions with manuscript notes. Cod. 441 is Act. 110, Paul. 222; Cod. 442 is Act. 152, Paul. 223.

443. Camb. Univ. Libr. Nn. ii. 36, once Askew 624 [xii], 11 × 8-¼, ff. 235 (24), 2 cols, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., Eus., some lect. (later), syn., men., prol. The κεφάλαια proper are subdivided in this copy, e.g. the 19th of St. Matthew, into no less than thirteen parts (see p. [64], note 2). For the titles of the Gospels, see Evan. 69. Evan. 443 was bought for the University Library in 1775 for £20, at the celebrated book-sale of Anthony Askew [1722-74], the learned physician who projected an edition of Aeschylus.

Matt. i. 1-17; Mark i. 7-9; Luke i. 1-18; John i. 1-22, by a person who mischievously cut out the ornaments. It is clearly but unskilfully written, and Covell states on the outer leaf that it seems a copy from his manuscript, noted above as Evan. 65. This codex is Cov. 5 (Bloomfield).

Out of this whole mass of 190 manuscripts, Scholz collated five entire (262, 299, 300, 301, 346), eleven in the greater part (260, 270, 271, 277, 284, 285, 298, 324, 353, 382, 428), many in a few places, and not a few seem to have been left by him untouched. His list of Oriental manuscripts (Evann. 450-469), as it is given in the first volume of his Greek Testament (Proleg. pp. xcvi-xcvii)[255], has been withdrawn from the catalogue of cursive copies of the Gospels, in deference to the wish of the Dean of Chichester (Letter iii addressed to myself in the Guardian newspaper, July 5, 1882). It must be confessed indeed that Scholz's account of what he had seen in the East about 1823 cannot be easily reconciled with the description of the Rev. H. O. Coxe of the Bodleian Library thirty-five years later (“Report to Her Majesty's Government of the Greek Manuscripts yet remaining in the Libraries of the Levant, 1858”); that most of the books which Scholz catalogued at St. Saba on the Dead Sea were removed before 1875, as Mr. F. W. Pennefather informs us, to the Great Greek Convent of the Cross at Jerusalem; and that at least four of them were brought to Parham in Sussex from St. Saba in 1834 by the late Lord de la Zouche. Instead of Scholz's seven (450-6), Coxe saw fourteen copies of the Gospels at Jerusalem; twenty of the Gospels (besides a noble palimpsest of the Orestes and Phoenissae) at St. Saba after the four had been subtracted, instead of Scholz's ten (457-466); at Patmos five instead of Scholz's three (467-469). In spite of one's respect for the memory of that zealous and worthy labourer, M. A. Scholz, with whom I had a personal conference regarding our common studies in 1845, I cannot help acquiescing in Dean Burgon's decision, though not, perhaps, without some natural reluctance.
