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

by Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener

Chapter VIII. Cursive Manuscripts Of The Gospels. Part II.

We have already intimated that Tischendorf has chosen to make no addition to the numerical list of cursive manuscripts furnished by Scholz, preferring to indicate the fresh materials which have since come to light by another notation, derived from the names of the collators or the places where they are deposited. As this plan has proved in practice very inconvenient, it is no wonder that Dean Burgon, after casting away Scholz's numbers from 450 to 469, on account of their evident inaccuracy, which has since then received definite proof, should have assigned numerals to the cursives unknown to Scholz from 450 to 737, still excluding, as far as was then possible, those whose location or character was uncertain. Burgon's method, as laid down in his Letters in the Guardian for July 5, 12, 19, 26, 1882, having the priority of publication, and being arranged with regard to the places where the manuscripts are deposited rather than to their actual collators, may as well be adopted as any other that might be made. The only important point to be secured is that all scholars should employ the SAME NUMBERS when speaking of the SAME MANUSCRIPTS.

It is greatly to be regretted that Dr. C. R. Gregory, even upon advice tendered by other critics, if such was the case, should have neglected the important principle laid down in the preceding sentence, and in Part II of his very valuable Prolegomena to Tischendorf's eighth edition, published seven years after the third edition of this work, should have helped to make confusion worse confounded in this large and increasing field. But it is not my object to assail one who has done this study very great [pg 242] service, but only to point out an inconvenience which I shall endeavour to minimize as far as I can. It is clear that Dr. Scrivener's order, being the first out, and having been followed since then in quotations in books, and notably by the late learned Abbé Martin, cannot be allowed to drop. I have therefore followed it in the succeeding pages. But it has been my object to bring together the two lists as soon as possible after the close of Dr. Scrivener's, and the end of the supplementary lists of Dean Burgon and the Abbé Martin, and to follow, as far as the case will admit, the lead of Dr. Gregory, where he has every right to prescribe the series of numbers. Unfortunately, this course is not always open, because when the time has arrived it is found that some MSS. have been already forestalled, and others are in arrear.

It should be added, that the number of the MSS. as standing in Dr. Gregory's list, where it varies from the present, is given at the end of the account of each manuscript; and reversely a table is added at the end of this volume of the varying numbers in this list which answer to the numbers in Dr. Gregory's list.

We begin with the following twenty Italian manuscripts, added to our previous list of cursive copies of the Gospels by Burgon in Letters addressed to Dr. Scrivener and inserted in the Guardian of Jan. 29 and Feb. 5, 1873.

450. Ferrara, Univ. 119, NA. 4 [xiv], 8vo, ff. ?, κεφ. t. (Lat. later), Am., lect., syn., men. (Lat. syn. later). (Greg. 581.)

451. (Act. 194, Paul. 222, Apoc. 102.) Ferr. Univ. 187, 188, N A. 7 [a.d. 1334], 6-¾ × 4-¾, chart., ff.?, capp. Lat., containing the whole New Testament: the only divisions recognized are those of the modern chapters in vermilion. (Greg. 582.)

452. Parma, Reg. 5 [xi or xii], 13-½ × 9-½, ff. 284 (21), Carp., Eus. t., argent., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., pict., syn., men., once belonging to the Bonvisi family, then transferred to the Public Library at Lucca. As superb a copy as any known, the illuminations gorgeous, the first page of the Gospel and other portions in gold, with a “luxurious prodigality” of miniatures. (Greg. 583.)

453. Parma, Reg. 95 [xi, or older], 7-3/8 × 5-1/8, ff. 318, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., very tastefully decorated. Mut. Matt. i. 1-20. Lect. and marginal corrections by the first hand in vermilion. (Greg. 584.)

454. Modena, Bibl. Estensis ii. A. 1 [xi or xii], a beautiful copy, 7-½ × 4-½, ff. ?, syn. at beginning and end, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., superb pict., men., with slight marginal corrections of the text. (Greg. 585.)

455. Mod. Bibl. Est. ii. A. 5 [xiv], 6-½ × 4-7/8, ff. 239 (20), argent., κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., vers., syn., men., small and neat, without pict. or illuminations. (Greg. 586.)

Here also is a late copy of Victor of Antioch's commentary on St. Mark.

456. Milan, in the great Ambrosian Library, M. 48 sup., 8-¾ × 7-3/8, ff. 183, prol., argent., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., pict., beautifully written, pict. almost obliterated. Am. (not Eus.). The last leaf more recent. (Greg. 587.)

457. Milan, Ambros. E. 63 sup. [May, 1321, Indiction 4], 8-½ × 5-7/8, ff. 221, Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., pict. Mut. Luke xxiv. 5-John i. 8, and the early part of John v. Am. (not Eus.), lect., pict. (Greg. 588.)

458, 459, 460. For these Dr. Gregory inserts Milan, Ambr. A. 178 sup., Parmae Reg. 15, Rom. Corsin. 41. G. 16, but without explanation. See below, Evann. 830, 831, 837.

458. Milan, Ambros. D. 161 inf. [xvi], transcribed from an original in the Vatican, chart. St. Mark's Gospel with Victor of Antioch's commentary.

459. Milan, Ambros. D. 282 inf., transcribed by John Sancta Maura, a one-eyed Cyprian, aged 74, June 9, 1612: chart., with a catena.

460. Milan, Ambros. D. 298 inf., transcribed by the same, fol., chart. These two codices purport to be commentaries of Peter of Laodicea on St. John and St. Mark respectively: but “such titles are quite misleading,” See Burgon, Letter to Guardian, Feb. 5, 1873.

461. (Act. 197, Paul. 223.) Milan, Ambros. Z. 34 sup. [xiii or xiv], chart., 6-½ × 4-¾, ff. 295 (31), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn., men., subscr., ῥήμ., στίχ., vers., with pict. on vellum not belonging to it. The order of its contents is Catholic Epp., Pauline Epp., syn., Gospels. (Greg. 592.)

462. Venice, Ven. Marc. i. 58 [xiii], 9-¾ × 7, ff. 153 (22), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., wrongly called an Evangelistarium in the Supplementary Catalogue, contains only Mark i. 44-Luke xxiv. 53; John i. 15-xi. 13. (Greg. 593.)

463. Instead of Ven. i. xxxix. 8, 7, or Nan. 27, which appears to be a commentary—Ven. Marc. ii. 7 [xiv], 12-¾ x 9-7/8, ff. 430 (31), κεφ. t. (John), κεφ., τίτλ., with Euthymius Zigabenus' commentary. (Greg. 600.)

464. Ven. Marc. i. 59 [xii, Greg. xiii], 6-½ × 4-7/8, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ. (lect., subscr., στίχ. later), with very remarkable readings. Burgon collated sixteen chapters in the several Gospels. (Greg. 597.)

465. Ven. Marc. i. 57 [xi or xii], 11-5/8 × 8-¼, ff. 228 (29), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., ends Mark xii. 18, with Theophylact's commentary. (Greg. 596.)

466. Ven. Marc. 494 [xv, Greg. xiii], 16-¾ × 11-¼, chart., ff. 320 (50), 2 cols., full of various Patristic matter. (Greg. 598.)

467. Ven. Marc. 495 [xv], 16 × 11-¼, chart., ff. 437 (42), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., vers., described by Zanetti, p. 259, with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark). (Greg. 599.)

We do not include Ven. Marc. i. 61, which is a mere catena on Matt. i-ix, or an unnumbered catena of St. Luke in the same Library, or Ven. M. 1, an uncial copy of the Old Testament [ix ?], at the end of which are found Carp., Eus. t. of unique fullness, as if the Gospels were to follow.

468. Ven. Marc. 56 [xvi], fol., chart., 11-3/8 × 7-7/8 ff. ?, κεφ. t. (John), capp. Lat., Am., lect., syn., wrongly set down by Scholz as Evst. 143, contains the Gospels, beginning Matt. v. 44. It was once “S. Michaelis Venet. prope Murianum,” and is described in Mittarelli's Catalogue of that Library, p. 1099. (Greg. 595.)

469. Quaritch i. [xi-xii], 10-¼ × 7-½, ff. ? (19), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., headings. Mut. at beginning and at beginning of St. Luke and end of St. John. Beautifully written in gold letters. (E. M., March 18, 1893.)

470. Ven. s. Lazarus 1531 [xiii, Greg. xiv], 10 × 7-¾, ff. 234 (?), κεφ. t., prol. (John), lect., ἀναγν. (later), subscr., στίχ., is a fragment of the Gospels containing Matt. i. 22-Luke xxiii. 15; 33-48. (Greg. 594.)

471. Quaritch ii. [xi], 5-7/8 × 4-¾, ff. ? (25), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν. Mut. here and there: beautifully written, and otherwise complete. Belonged to the Hon. Frederic North. (E. M., March 18, 1893.)

472. (Act. 235, Paul. 276, Apoc. 103.) Poictiers [xvi], small folio, chart., of the whole New Testament, as described to Burgon by M. Dartige, the librarian there. Two librarians named Cavou successfully robbed the library, and probably sold miniatures and pictures. (H. C. Hoskier.) G. Haenel (Catal. Librorum MSS. Lips. 1830) names this and another of the whole N. T. at Arras [xv], 8vo, but of the latter the librarian, M. Wicquot, knows nothing.

Edward de Muralt, in his N. T. “ad fidem codicis principis Vaticani,” 1848 (p. 111), inserts a collation of eleven manuscripts (five of the Gospels, one Psalter with hymns, five Lectionaries), chiefly at St. Petersburg. He also describes them in his Preface (pp. lv-lvii), and in the Catalogue of Greek Manuscripts in the Imperial Library there. The copies of the Gospels are—

473. 2pe, 81 Hort (Petrop. vi. 470) [ix-x Hort], 8-1/8 × 5-1/8, ff. 405 (18, 19), Am., Eus. t., pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ. (in silver uncials), subscr., a purple MS. with golden letters, very beautiful, said to have been written by the Empress Theodora. Mut. John xi. 26-48; xiii. 2-23. St. Mark of this MS. was edited by J. Belsheim with facsimile in 1885 (Jacob Dybwad, Christiania). Highly valued by some critics. (Greg. 565.)

474. 4pe, Petrop. 98. Formerly Pogodini 472 [xii or xiii], ff. 194 (23, 24), Eus. t., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., lect., pict. (Greg. 571.)

476. 8pe, Petrop. Muralt. 105 [xii or xiii], 7 × 4-7/8, ff. 225 (27), κεφ. t., pict. Brought by Titoff from Turkey.

477. 11pe, Petrop. 118 (Q. v. 1, 15) [xv], 7 × 5-5/8, ff. 384, Eus. t., pict., syn., men., written for Demetrius Palaeologus.

478[256] tisch.1 Leipzig, Univ. Libr. Tisch. iv. [x], 6-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 360 (21), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., men., subscr., vers. Brought by Tischendorf from the East (Tisch., Anecdota sacra et profana, pp. 20-29). (Greg. 564.)

479. tisch.2 Petrop. Muralt. 97 [xii], 7-7/8 × 6-1/8, ff. 191. Mut. Matt. i. 1-16; 30; John xvi. 20-xx. 25. (Tisch., Notitia Cod. Sinait., p. 60.) (Greg. 570.)

480. tisch.3 Petrop. Muralt. 99 [xii], 7-3/8 × 4-7/8, ff. 19 (12), Matt. viii. 3-ix. 50. (Tisch., Notitia Cod. Sinait., p. 64.) (Greg. 572.)

481. Petrop. (Scholz's 461, St. Saba 9) [May 7, 835, Indiction 13], 6-3/8 × 3-7/8, ff. 344 (19), κεφ., τίτλ., lect. The date, being the earliest known of a Greek N. T. MS., is plainly visible in a photographed facsimile in “Exempla Codicum Graecorum literis minusculis scriptorum” (fol., Heidelberg, 1878), Tab. 1, by Wattenbach and von Velsen. This precious treasure was the property of Porphyry Uspensky, Bp. of Kiow, but is now at St. Petersburg. (See Greg. 461.)

The five following are in the Bodleian Library, and for the most part uncollated:—

482. Oxf. Bodl. Cromwell 15 [xi], 8-½ × 6-¼, ff. 216 (24), exquisitely written, with textual corrections in the margin. Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect. (few in later hand). Mut. Mark xvi. 17 (ταῦτα)-end; John xix. 29-end. This copy and the next in order came in 1727 from Παντοκράτωρ on Athos. (Greg. 527.)

483. Oxf. Bodl. Crom. 16 [xi], 8 × 6, ff. 354 (20), fairly written. The Gospels are followed by the Proper Lessons for the Holy Week. pict., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., Am., Eus., syn. (later), ἀρχαί and τέλη. Collated in 1749 by Th. Mangey, Prebendary of Durham, the editor of Philo [1684-1755]. “It is well worth proper examination” (E. B. Nicholson, Bodley's Librarian). (Greg. 528.)

484. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 17, Auct. D. Infra 2, 21 [xi], 5-½ × 4, ff. 363 (20), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., syn., men., in text said to resemble Cod. 71, once Humphrey Wanley's [1672-1726], bought in 1776 by Sam. Smalbroke, fifty-four years Canon Residentiary of Lichfield, was presented by him on his eightieth birthday, June 4, 1800. (Greg. 529.)

485. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 141, Rawl. G. 3 [xi], 6 × 4-¼, ff. 303 (20), with some foreign matter, has κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., a few Eus., ἀρχαί and τέλη, subscr. Mut. John xxi. 3-24. (Greg. 430.)

486. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 293, Auct. T. V. 34 [xii or xiii], 7-¼ × 5-¼, ff. 213 (27), orn., τίτλ., κεφ., lect., Am., subscr. (except in Luke), ἀναγν., στίχ., κεφ. t. (Luke). Of a very unusual style. (Greg. 706.)

To this list we must add the five following copies from the collection [pg 246] of the Abbot M. Aloy. Canonici, purchased at Venice in 1817 for the Bodleian Library by Dr. Bandinel, who secured 2045 out of the total number of 3550 manuscripts.

487. Oxf. Bodl. Canon. Gr. 33. Part of Evan. 288, which see.

488. Oxf. Bodl. Canon. Gr. 34 (Act. 211, Paul. 249, Apoc. 98) [a.d. 1515, 1516], 9 × 6-¼, chart., ff. 319 (25), capp. Lat., written by Michael Damascenus the Cretan for John Francis Picus of Mirandola, contains the whole N. T., the Apocalypse alone being yet collated (kscr): mut. Apoc. ii. 11-23. It has Œcumenius' and Euthalius' prol. (Greg. 522.)

489. Oxf. Bodl. Canon. Gr. 36 [xi], 10 × 7-½, ff. 270 (22), κεφ. t., syn., men., pict., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν., Gospels: olim Georg. Phlebaris. (Greg. 523.)

*492. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake[257] 12 (Act. 193, Paul. 277, Apoc. 26) Cod. Dionysii (who wrote it) [xi], 12 × 9-½, ff. 240 (36), 2 cols., was also noted by Scholz, on Gaisford's information, Evangelistarium 181, Apostol. 57: but this is an error, as the Gospels are contained at full length and in their proper order, with unusually full liturgical matter, pict., Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., στίχ., ἀναγν., vers. (syn., men. with synopsis). The Acts, Catholic and Pauline Epistles (Œcumenius' prol., κεφ., scholia) follow them, and last of all comes the Apocalypse. Mut. Luke xvi. 26-30; xvii. 5-8; xxiv. 22-24; John i. 1-vii. 39; viii. 31-ix. 11; x. 10-xi. 54; xii. 36-xiii. 27; Acts i. 1-vii. 49; x. 19-xiv. 10; xv. 15-xvi. 11; xviii. 1-xxi. 25; xxiii. 18-James iii. 17; 1 Cor. xii. 11-xv. 12; xvi. 13-15; 2 Cor. xiii. 4, 5; Gal. v. 16-vi. 18 (partly); 2 Tim. iii. 10, 11; Tit. iii. 5-7; the illuminations also being often wantonly cut out. This copy contains much foreign matter besides; its contents were carefully tabulated by J. Walker; it was thoroughly collated by Scrivener in 1864. (Greg. 606.)

493. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 21 [xi], 11 × 8-¼, ff. 221 (26), 2 cols., Carp. (later), Eus. t., prol. (later), κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., lect. (partly later), ῥήμ., στίχ., syn., brought from Παντοκράτωρ on Athos, 1727. The scribe's name, Abraham Teudatus, a Patrician (Montfaucon, Palaeo. Gr., p. 46), is written cruciform after Eus. t. (Greg. 507.)

494. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 22 [xiii], 10 × 8, ff. 160 (24, 27), κεφ. t., [pg 247] τίτλ., κεφ., lect., subscr., ἀναγν., in a wretched hand and bad condition, begins Matt. i. 23, ends John xix. 31. Also mut. Matt. v. 26-vi. 23; Luke xxiv. 9-28; John iii. 14-iv. 1; xv. 9-xvi. 6. (Greg. 508.)

495. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 24 [xi], 11-¾ × 8-¾, ff. 229 (24), from Παντοκράτωρ in 1727. Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus. in gold. One leaf (John xix. 13-29), and another containing John xxi. 24, 25, are in duplicate at the beginning, primâ manu. (Greg. 509.) This copy (as Wake remarks) is in the same style, but less free than:—

496. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 25 [x or xi], 10-¾ × 8-¼, ff. 292 (22), κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., lect., τίτλ., some Eus., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., syn., men., pict. (in red ink, nearly faded). (Greg. 510.)

497. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake. 27, chart., [xiii], 9-½ × 6-¼, ff. 337 (20), pict. (Matt.), κεφ., τίτλ., lect., κεφ. t., prol. (Luke), subscr. (Mark). Mut. at beginning. Matt, xviii. 9-Mark xiv. 13; Luke vii. 4-John xxi. 13 are [xiii], the rest supplied [xv]. (Greg. 511.)

498. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 28 [xiii], 9 × 6-¾, ff. 210 (24), κεφ. t., some τίτλ., κεφ., syn., men., lect., much of this rubro, vers., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν. Subscribed Θῦ το δωρον και γρηγοριων πονος. (Greg. 512.)

499. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 29 [ςχ[258]λθ or a.d. 1131, Indict. 9], 7-¾ × 6-¼, ff. 162-4, chart. in later hand (25), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., vers., subscr., στίχ. After some later fragments (Matt. i. 12-v. 3, and other matter) on paper, the older copy begins Matt. v. 29. (Greg. 513.)

500. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 30 [xii], 7-½ × 5-½, ff. 226 (23), Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t. (almost illegible), κεφ., τίτλ., lect. in red, almost obliterated from damp; ending John xx. 18, neatly written, but in ill condition. (Greg. 514.)

501. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 31 [xi], 7 × 5-½, ff. 127 (34), small, in a very elegant and minute hand. Pict., κεφ. t., some τίτλ. (in gold), κεφ., Am., (no Eus.), lect. full, some στίχ., mut. (Greg. 515.)

502. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 32 [x or xi], 7-¼ × 5-½, ff. 287 (23), small, elegant, and with much gold ornament. Pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., some τίτλ., Am., lect., some στίχ. Mut. in places. (Greg. 516.)

*503 (Act. 190, Paul. 244, Apoc. 27.) Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 34 [xi or xii], 10 × 8, ff. 201 (31, 29). This remarkable copy begins with the ὑπόθεσις to 2 Peter, the second leaf contains Acts xvii. 24-xviii. 13 misplaced, then follow the five later Catholic Epistles (mut. 1 John iii. 19-iv. 9) with ὑποθέσις: then the Apocalypse on the same page as Jude ends, and the ὑπόθέσις to the Romans on the same page as the Apocalypse ends, and then the Pauline Epistles (mut. Heb. vii. 26-ix. 28). All the Epistles have prol., κεφ. t., and Œcumenius' smaller (not the Euthalian) κεφ., with much lect. primâ manu, and syn. later. Last, but seemingly misplaced by an early binder, follow the Gospels, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr. Mut. Mark xvi. 2-17; Luke ii. 15-47; vi. 42-John xxi. 25, and in other places. This copy is Scholz's Act. 190, Paul.

244, Apoc. 27, but unnumbered in the Gospels. Collated fully by Scrivener in 1863. (Greg. 517.)

504. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake 36 [xii], 6 × 5, ff. 249-6 chart. (23), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., prol. (Luke), pict. (Luke, John), syn., men. (Greg. 518.)

506. Oxf. Ch. Ch. Wake. 40 [xii], 4-½ × 3-1/8, ff. 218 (22, 23), a beautiful little copy. syn., men., κεφ. t., lect. in the faintest red, but no other divisions. (Greg. 520.)[259]

F. H. A. Scrivener has published the following in his “Collation of Greek Manuscripts of the Holy Gospels, 1853,” and “Codex Augiensis” (Appendix), 1859.

*vscr or cantscr. of Tischendorf. See Evan. 440 (Act. 111, Paul. 221 of Scholz; Evan. 236, Act. and Paul. 61 of Griesbach; Act. and Paul. oscr), in a minute hand, with many unusual readings, especially in the Epistles, from Bp. Moore's Library. Men. Ὕποθέσεις Oecumenii to the Catholic and first eight Pauline Epistles: beautifully written with many contractions. This is Bentley's ο (see Evan. 51).

*507. wscr. (Act. 224, Paul. 260.) Camb. Trin. Coll. B. x. 16 [dated a.d. 1316], chart., 7-¼ × 5, ff. 363 (28, 29), was inelegantly written by a monk James on Mount Sinai.

*508. iscr. Camb. Trin. Coll. B. x. 17 [xiii], 8-½ × 6, ff. 317 (20), from [pg 249] Athos, bequeathed to Trinity College by Bentley. Κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), lect., and (on paper) are ὑπόθεσις to St. Matthew and syn.

(gscr is Lamb. 528 and Evan. 71, described above.)

516. uscr. Constantin. Libr. Patr. of Jerus., C. 4 of Archdeacon Todd's Lambeth Catalogue, was a copy of the Gospels, in the Carlyle [pg 250] collection, restored with six others to the Patriarch of Jerusalem[262].

518. Lond. Sion College Library, A. 32. 1 (Ev. 1. (3)), [xi], 11 × 8-3/8, ff. 152 (24), a beautiful fragment, miserably injured by damp and past neglect, consisting of 153 leaves preserved in a box, was given by “Mr. Edward Payne, a tenant in Sion College, as were also Evst. 227, 228, and perhaps Evst. 229.” The capitals, stops, and τίτλοι are in gold, κεφ., Am. (no Eus.) in red. Full lect., ἀρχαί and τέλη in red. It begins at Matt. x. 17, ends at John ix. 14. St. Mark's Gospel only has κεφ. t. Mark i. 1-13; Luke i. 1-13; John i. 1-17 have been taken away for the sake of the illuminations, and much of the text is illegible. (Greg. 559.)

519. Edinburgh, University Library, A. C. 25 [xi], 8vo, ff. 198, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., pict., in bad condition, presented in 1650 by Sir John Chiesley. (Greg. 563.)

B. 14 [xiii, Greg. xiv], 7-½ × 6-¼, ff. 170 (22), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν., syn., men.: like Apost. 52, once belonging to the Metropolitan Church of Heraclea on the Propontis, and presented in 1738 to Charles, Duke of Marlborough, amoris et observantiae ergo by Thomas Payne, Archdeacon of Brecon, once our Chaplain at Constantinople: a bright, clean copy, written in very black ink, with vermilion ornamentation, and barbarous pict. (Greg. 701.)

Mr. Bradshaw indicated in the “Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature,” vol. ii. p. 355, two copies of the Gospels belonging to the Earl of Leicester at Holkham, to be described with facsimiles in the Catalogue of the Library there. They were examined by Dean Burgon, who thus reported of them:—

524. Holkham 3 [xiii], 8-¾ × 6-1/6, of 183 leaves, four being misplaced. It is beautifully written in twenty-seven long lines on a page. Eus. t., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), imperfectly given: no lect. (κεφ., subscr., pict.). Besides five pictures of the Evangelists and gorgeous headings to the Gospels are seventeen representations of Scripture subjects, some damaged. This “superb MS. of extraordinary interest” in the style of its writing closely resembles Evan. 38. (Greg. 557.)

525. Holkham 4 [xiii or earlier], 8-½ × 6-1/3, ff. 352 (20), finely written, but quite different in style from Cod. 524. Τίτλ. in gold, lect., ἀρχαί and τέλη in vermilion, κεφ., στίχ. numbered. (Κεφ. t., Am., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., pict.) (Greg. 558.)

Eight copies of the Gospels, brought together by the late Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bart., at Middle Hill, Worcestershire, are now the property of Mr. Fitzroy Fenwick, and, with the rest of this unrivalled private collection of manuscripts, are now at Thirlestaine House, Cheltenham, where Burgon examined them in 1880, and Hoskier in 1886, who quotes (Cod. 604, App. E), some of the readings. Scrivener had used some of them at Middle Hill in 1856.

526. Phillipps 13,975 [xii], 12-½ × 9-½, ff. 196, once Lord Strangford's 464, a grand copy, the text being surrounded with a commentary (abounding, as usual, in contractions) in very minute letters. That on St. Mark is Victor's. Pict. of SS. Mark and Luke, beautiful illuminations for headings of the Gospels. Κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. in gold, pict. (syn., men. at end). (Greg. 556.)

527. Phillipps 1284 (Act. 200, Paul. 281) [xii], 7-2/3 × 5-¼, ff. 344 (28), from the library of Mr. Lammens of Ghent, a rough specimen, contains the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles, the Pauline preceding the Catholic. Mut. Matt. ix. 36-x. 22; Mark i. 21-45, and the first page of St. John. The writing varies; that from Acts to 1 Thess. is more delicate, and looks older. No Am., Eus. Much lect. in vermilion, ἀρχαί and τέλη. Τίτλ., κεφ. t., ἀναγν., subscr., syn., and sparse men. (Greg. 676.)

528. Phillipps 2387 [xiii], 6-¼ × 4-½, ff. 222 (25), bought of Thorpe for thirty guineas: rough, but interesting. One leaf only of Eus. t. Wantonly mut. in headings of the Gospels, and in Mark i. 1-19; Luke i. 1-18; John i. 1-23. Κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), ἀρχαί and τέλη later, syn., men. (xvii) at the beginning, and much marginal lect. by a modern hand.

529. Phillipps 3886 [xi or xii], 10-½ × 8-1/8, ff. 326 (20), a beautiful copy, bought (as were Evann. 530, 532, 533) by Payne at Lord Guildford's sale. Eus. t., Carp., pict., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (lect., ἀρχ., τέλη, ἀναγν. later). (Greg. 678.)

530. Phillipps 3887 [xii], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 240 (25, 26), the first four lines in SS. Matt., Mark, Luke being of gold, with pict. of the four Evangelists and nineteen others, Eus. t., Am. incomplete and irregular (no Eus.). No lect., but marginal critical notes. As in Evan. 64, a line (~) is set over Proper Names of persons in the Genealogies (see at end of Evan. 64). (Greg. 679.)

531. (Acts 199, Paul. 231, Apoc. 104.) Phillipps 7682 [xi], 6-5/8 × 5, ff. 190 (41 or 50), 2 cols. (two scribes, Hoskier; several, Greg.), the hands [pg 252] so minute as to require a magnifying glass, contains the whole New Testament, also from Lord Guildford's (871), being, like Evann. 532 and 583, to be described below, from the Hon. F. North's collection (319). The ink is a dull brown, the ornaments in blue, vermilion, and carmine. Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ. (Gr. and Lat.), τίτλ., Am., few Eus., lect., subscr. There are many important corrections in the margin, and 18-½ pages from Epiphanius at the end. This copy has every appearance of having been made from a very ancient codex: observe the arrangement of the Beatitudes in Matt. v in single lines, as also the genealogy in Luke iii. (Greg. 680.)

532. Phillipps 7712, North 184 (see Evan. 529), [xiii], 7-½ × 5-½, ff. ?, in a large hand and very black ink, the first page being in gold, with many gold balls for stops. There is much preliminary matter, Eus. t. (two sets in different hands), pict. (Carp., prol. later), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect. (later), syn., men., subscr., στίχ. The text is corrected throughout by an ancient scribe, in a hand bright, clear, and small. (Greg. 681.)

533. Phillipps 7757 [xi], 6 × 4-½, ff. ?, an exquisite little manuscript, with accessories in lake, vermilion, and blue. See Evan. 529. Prol., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., vers.

Haenel is mistaken in supposing that a Greek Evangelistarium is included in this grand and unique collection.

The Parham copies of the New Testament are described in a “Catalogue of materials for writing, early writings on tablets and stones, rolled and other Manuscripts and Oriental Manuscript books in the library of Robert Curzon (Lord de la Zouche of Harynworth, 1870-73) at Parham,” fol., 1849. This accomplished person collected them in the course of his visits to Eastern Monasteries from 1834 to 1837, and permitted me in 1855 to collate thoroughly three of them, and to inspect the rest. They were all examined by Dean Burgon, to whom his son, the present Lord de la Zouche, had given free access to them. The codices of the Gospels are eight in number.

534. (Act. 215, Paul. 233.) Parham lxxi. 6 [xi], 9 × 6-½, ff. 348 (41), contains the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles, the Pauline preceding the Catholic, and was brought in 1837 from Caracalla on Athos. Prol., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., lect. (ἀρχ. and τέλ.), ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., vers., syn., men. The usual arabesque ornaments are in red. (Greg. 547.)

535. Parh. lxxi. 7 [xi, Greg. x], 6-1/8 × 4-½, ff. 167 (26), brought from St. Saba in 1834. Pict., κεφ. t., illuminated headings, τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.). Mut. John xvi. 27-xix. 40. There is a musical notation on the first four leaves, and the first nine lines of St. John are in gold. (Greg. 548.)

536. Parh. lxxiii. 8 [xi], 4to, 11 × 9, ff. 198, brought from Xenophon on Athos 1837. The text is surrounded by a commentary, that on St. Mark being Victor's. Prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect. (ἀρχ. and τέλ.), subscr., syn., men. (Greg. 549.)

537. Parh. lxxiv. 9 [xi, Greg. xii], 10-¼ × 7-¾, ff. 219 (28), brought from Caracalla 1837, in its old black binding. Carp., prol. (later), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect. (ἀρχ. and τέλ.), subscr., στίχ., syn., men. With faded red arabesques (no pict.) and lake headings to the Gospels, the [pg 253] writing being large and spread. There are marginal notes here and there. (Greg. 550.)

538. Parh. lxxv. 10 [xii], 4to, ff. 233 (22, 23), from Caracalla, also in its old black binding. There are rude pict. of the four Evangelists, and barbarous headings to the Gospels. Κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., few Eus., lect., subscr., στίχ., vers. (syn., men. later). The number of Am., κεφ. varies from what is usual. (Greg. 551.)

539. Parh. lxxvi. 11 [xii], 4to, ff. 252 (27), κεφ. t. (Luke), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., ἀρχ. and τέλ., brought from St. Saba in 1834. Rough illuminations. It contains some rare and even unique readings. (Greg. 552.)

540. Parh. lxxvii. 12 [xiii], 8-½ × 6, ff. 304 (21), brought from St. Saba in 1834. Externally uninteresting, with decorations in faded lake, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ. (Greg. 553.)

541. Parh. lxxviii. 13 [a.d. 1272], 5-¾ × 4-½, ff. 230 (21). A facsimile is given in the Catalogue. This “singularly rough little object” was bought at St. Saba in 1834 for ten dollars. Κεφ., τίτλ., lect. (Greg. 554.)

*542. lscr. (Act. 188, Paul. 258.) Wordsworth [xiii], 4to, ff. 231, was bought in 1837 by Dr. Christopher Wordsworth, Bishop of Lincoln, and bears a stamp “Bibliotheca Suchtelen” (Russian Ambassador at Stockholm). Κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., prol. or ὑποθέσεις are prefixed to the Epistles, and scholia of Chrysostom, &c. set in the margin. (Greg. 479.)

*543. qscr. (Act. 187, Paul. 257.) Theodori, from the name of the scribe [a.d. 1295], 8vo, ff. 360, passed from Caesar de Missy into the Duke of Sussex's library: in 1845 it belonged to the late Wm. Pickering, the much-respected bookseller: its present locality is unknown. Syn., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., lect., ὑποθέσεις or prol., and syn. before Act. and all Epp., Euthalius περὶ χρόνων, men. after St. Jude; it has many later changes made in the text. (Greg. 483.)

544. Ashburnham 204 [xiii], 4to, ff. 104, “a piteous fragment,” brought from Greece by the Earl of Aberdeen, and bought at his sale. It contains only Matt. xxv. 32-5, 40, 41-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 4-xv. 47 (but defective throughout); Luke i. 1-xxiv. 48; John i. 1-ii. 4: about Luke vi a different hand was employed. There is no heading to St. Luke's Gospel, but a blank space is left, so that perhaps the MS. was never finished. Κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (partially). (Greg. 671.)

The Baroness Burdett-Coutts imported in 1870-2 from Janina in Epirus upwards of one hundred manuscripts, chiefly Greek and theological, among which are sixteen copies of the Gospels or parts of them, three of the Acts, two of the Catholic, and three of St. Paul's Epistles, one of the Apocalypse, sixteen Evangelistaria and five Praxapostoli. Those marked I and II are deposited in the Library of Sir Roger Cholmely's School, Highgate; those marked III are in the Baroness's possession. The copies of the Gospels are—

*545. B.-C. I. 3 [xii], 7-3/8 × 5-5/8, ff. ? Mut. John x. 1-xii. 10; xv. 24-xxi. 25. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., pict., lect., vers. (Greg. 532.)

*546. B.-C. I. 4 [xii], 6-¾ × 5-3/8, ff. ?, a fine copy. Mut. Matt. i. 1-ix. 13, with gilded illuminations. Syn., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), lect., iambic verses. (Greg. 533.)

*547. B.-C. I. 7 [xiii], 6 × 4, ff. 267 (22), chart. Mut. Luke. i. 26-42; xx. 16-xxi. 24. Syn., men., pict., κεφ. t., τίτλ., lect. (not Am., Eus.). After the subscription to St. John follow the numerals ξ θ ο π. It has on the cover a curious metal tablet adorned with figures and a superscription. (Greg. 534.)

*548. B.-C. I. 9 [xii], 7 × 5, ff. 125 (18), SS. Matthew and Mark only. Mut. Matt. xi. 28-xiii. 34; xviii. 13-xxi. 15; 33-xxii. 10; xxiv. 46-xxv. 21; Mark iii. 11-v. 31; ix. 18-xii. 6; 34-44; ends with πανταχοῦ Mark xvi. 20. Syn., lect., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (Greg. 535.)

*549. B.-C. II. 7 [xii or xiii], 5 × 3, ff. 172 (26-31), a very curious volume in ancient binding with two metal plates on the covers much resembling that of B-C. I. 7, contains the Four Gospels and the Acts, breaking off at ch. xxvi. 24 μαίνῃ παῦλε; the writing being unusually full of abbreviations, and the margin gradually contracting, as if vellum was becoming scarce. The last five pages are in another, though contemporary hand. Seven pages containing Gregory Nazianzen's heroic verses on the Lord's genealogy, and others on His miracles and parables, partly in red, precede κεφ. t. to St. Matthew; other such verses of Gregory precede SS. Mark and Luke, and follow St. John, and κεφ. t. stand before SS. Luke and John. There are τίτλ., κεφ. (no lect.; and Am., Eus., only in the open leaf containing Luke xii): in the Gospels there is a prol., and no chapter divisions in the Acts, but a few capitals in red. Pretty illuminations precede each book. (Greg. 536.)

*550. B.-C. II. 13 [xii], 7 × 5, ff. 143 (29), with poor arabesque ornamentation, complete. lect., a few τίτλ. by a later hand, as is also much of Am., Eus., which are only partially inserted. (Greg. 537.)

*551. B.-C. II. 16 [xiii], 6-7/8 × 4-7/8, ff. ? Mut. Matt. i. 1-17; Luke i. 1-17; John i. 1-46. lect., κεφ. t. (defective), τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., pict. (Greg. 539.)

*552. B.-C. II. 18 [xii], 6 × 4-3/8, ff. ?, very neat. The first leaf forms part of a Lectionary: on the second the Gospels begin with Matt. xiii. 7. Mut. John i. 1-15. Κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), men. at the end, lect. in abundance, pict. of St. Mark washed out: arabesques at the head of each book. (Greg. 538.)

*553 & *554. B.-C. II. 261 and 262 are two fragments of the Gospels, whereof 261 comprises 27 leaves of St. Mark (19-21), covered with vile modern scribbling (ch. iii. 21-iv. 13; 37-vii. 29; viii. 15-27; ix. 9-x. 5; 29-xii. 32) [xiii], 7-½ × 5-½, neat, with τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect.; and 262 consists of 48 leaves [xiv], 8-½ × 5-½, containing Matt. xviii. 32-xxiv. 10; xxvi. 28-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 16-xiii. 9; xiv. 9-27, with κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am. (Eus. only partially), lect. There are many abridgements in the writing. Dated, perhaps by the first hand, a.d. 1323. (Greg. 540, 541.)

*555. B.-C. III. 4 [xiii], 7 × 5, ff. 264 (24), prol., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., pict. of the four Evangelists, syn. incomplete at the end. [pg 255] Some leaves are misplaced in St. Matthew. Mut. John xix. 25-xxi. 2. (Greg. 542.)

*556. B.-C. III. 5 [xii], 11 × 8-½ ff. 183 (26), 2 cols., κεφ. t., lect., syn., men., prol., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. Mut. Matt. xii. 11-xiii. 10; Mark viii. 4-28; Luke xv. 20-xvi. 9; John ii. 22-iv. 6; 53-v. 43; xi. 21-47, one leaf lost in each case, and one (John i. 51-ii. 22) misplaced in binding. This copy has John vii. 53-viii. 11 after Luke xxi. 38, like Ferrar's four, with which its text much agrees, and the titles to SS. Matthew and Mark only run εὐαγγέλιον ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ M ... (Greg. 543.)

*557. B.-C. III. 9 [xiii], 5-½ × 3-½, ff. 256 (22), κεφ. t. to the last three Gospels, τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), pict. of SS. Matthew, Mark, and John. This copy is remarkably free from lect. Neatly written, but four considerable passages in St. Luke are omitted, the text running on uno tenore. (Greg. 544.)

*558. B.-C. III. 10 [dated a.d. 1430], 8 × 5-½, ff. 374 (+ 16 + 34) (16), chart., pict. of the four Evangelists, of the Saviour, and of the Virgin and Child. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., Am., Eus., lect., vers. The leaves are much misplaced in binding. (Greg. 545.)

The next two were purchased in 1876 of Quaritch for £120 and £50 respectively by Mr. Jonathan Peckover, and now belong to Miss Algerina Peckover, of Bank House, Wisbech. Burgon examined them, and J. R. Harris since then.

560. (Act. 222, Paul. 278.) Algerina Peckover (1) [xi], small 4to, ff. 239 (33), contains the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles in their usual Greek order, “an exquisite specimen, in a somewhat minute character.” It begins with a picture of St. Matthew, the lost preliminary matter being prefixed chart. by a later hand. Pict., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect. (ἀρχ. and τέλ.), subscr., στίχ., vers., syn., men. On the last leaf is written in uncial letters: ὡς ἡδὺς τοῖς πλέουσιν ὁ εὔδιος λιμήν; | οὕτως καὶ τοῖς γράφουσιν ὁ ἔσχατος στίχος. ἰωαννικίου μοναχοῦ. (Greg. 712.)

561. Algerina Peckover (2), [xi or a little later], 7-3/8 × 5-¾, ff. 356 (16), with 17 (3 + 14) uncial palimpsest leaves at the beginning and end, containing Lessons from the Epistles to be described hereafter (Apost. 43). Carp., prol. (later), κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (ἀρχ. and τέλ.), subscr., syn., men. (later). Mut. Matt. xxvii. 43, 44; John vii. 53-viii. 11; x. 27-xi. 14 (2 ff.); xi. 29-42 (1 f.). Marg. notes, Matt. v. 14; xvi. 15. One of the Ferrar group. See J. R. Harris, Codex Algerina Peckover (Journal of Exegetical Society). (Greg. 713.)

*562. Oxf. Bodl. MS. Bibl. Gr. L. 1. Mendham [xiv], 9-½ × 7, ff. 270 [sic] (20), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν., vers., syn., men. Bohn became possessed of it, whether from Meerman or not is not known, and sold it to the Rev. Theodore Williams, Vicar of Hendon, for £120. The Rev. Joseph Mendham bought it of Payne for £70 in 1827. It was given by Mr. Mendham's widow to Dean Burgon for his life, afterwards [pg 256] to go to the Bodleian Library, where the Rev. W. F. Rose brought it upon the Dean's death. It is dated on the last leaf by a later hand, a.d. 1322. It is evenly written in pale brown ink with a reed-pen. The last twenty leaves contain the Gospels for Maundy Thursday, for Good Friday, and for St. John's Day. The ornamentation is as fresh and bright as if done yesterday, and its text is of the ordinary type, like lmnscr (Evann. 201, 542, 568). It is a very beautiful MS., and an excellent specimen in all ways. (Greg. 521.)

Mr. James Woodhouse [d. 1866], Treasurer-General of the Ionian Islands, while resident fifty years at Corfu, formed a collection of manuscripts from monasteries in the Levant, which was sold in London in 1869, 1872, 1875. Among them were three copies of the Gospels, two Evangelistaria, one copy of the Acts and St. Paul.

*563. London, Brit. Mus. Egerton 2783 [xiii], 5-3/8 × 3-½, ff. 337 (22), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., τίτλ., κεφ., lect. (ἀρχαί and τέλη), subscr., στίχ., vers., syn., men. It was once fair, but has suffered from damp, and has been sadly cropped by the Western binder. Mut. John xx. 17. The headings of the Gospels are in lake. It abounds in curious and unique liturgical notes, whereof Burgon gives specimens, and it has textual corrections by the original scribe. Collated by Rose. Bought by Burgon, then belonged to Rev. W. F. Rose, and bought for the Museum in 1893. (Greg. 714.)

*564. Brit. Mus. Egerton 2785 [xiv], 10-½ × 8, ff. 226 (27-29), 2 cols., syn., men., scholium on τίτλος α´, prol., κεφ. t., pict., Am., τίτλ., κεφ. (lect. later), subscr., ῥήμ., στίχ. The ornamentation is in lake, and at the end are extracts from Eulogius and Hesychius. Upon collation by Mr. Rose it exhibits here and there suggestive discrepancies from the common text. Evann. 563, 564 were respectively offered for sale in 1871 for £50 and £40. Bought by Burgon, belonged to Rose, and purchased for Museum in 1893. (Greg. 715.)

*565. Brit. Mus. Egerton 2784 [xii, Greg. xiv], 8-3/8 × 5-¾, ff. 213 (22-25), κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., ῥήμ., στίχ., fragment of syn. Apparently not from the Woodhouse collection. It is beautifully written and of an uncommon type. Its older binding suggests a Levantine origin. The readings are far more interesting than those of Cod. 564, some of them being quite unique. Belonged to Burgon, then Rose, then to the Museum in 1893. (Greg. 716.)

*566. hscr. Brit. Mus. Arund. 524 [xi], 6-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 218 (27), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., was brought to England (with xscr and many others) by the great Earl of Arundel in 1646. Henry Howard, Evelyn's Duke of Norfolk, presented them to the Royal Society, from whose rooms at Somerset House they were transferred to the Museum in 1831. (Greg. 476.)

567. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5538, described in the Harleian Catalogue as an Evangelistarium, and numbered by Scholz Evst. 149, is a copy of the Gospels [xiv, Greg. xii], 4-¾ × 3-½, ff. 226 (23), orn., lect., Am. (Greg. 505.)

*568. nscr. (Paul. 259 or jscr.) Brit. Mus., Burney 18 (purchased in 1818, with many other manuscripts, from the heirs of Dr. Charles [pg 257] Burney), contains the Gospels and two leaves of St. Paul (Hebr. xii. 17-xiii. 25), written by one Joasaph a.d. 1366, 12-¾ × 9, ff. 222 (23) + 9 blank, κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., Am., Eus., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., very superb in gold letters. Codd. lmn (542, 201, 568) agree pretty closely. (Greg. 480.)

*569. oscr. Brit. Mus. Burn. 19 [x], 8-½ × 7, ff. 217 (22), pict. (Plate [iii], No. 8), in the Escurial as late as 1809, is singularly void of the usual apparatus. (Greg. 481.)

*570. pscr. Brit. Mus. Burn. 20 [a.d. 1285, Indict. 13, altered into 985, whose indiction is the same], 7-½ × 6, ff. 317 (22, 23), written by a monk Theophilus: pict., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men., the two last in a later hand, which has made many corrections: this copy is quite equal in value to Cod. cscr (511), and often agrees closely with wscr (507). (Greg. 482.)

*571. rscr. Brit. Mus. Burn. 21, by the same scribe as Cod. 543 [a.d. 1292], 13 × 10, ff. 258 (24), on cotton paper in a beautiful but formed hand (see Plate [vi], No. 15), syn., κεφ. t., prol., orn., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., men. A fine copy, much damaged. Codd. 543 and 571 differ only in 183 places. (Greg. 484.)

*572. sscr. Brit. Mus. Burn. 23 [xii], 7-¾ × 6, ff. 230 (23-25), boldly but carelessly written, ends John viii. 14: mut. Luke v. 22-ix. 32; xi. 31-xiii. 25; xvii. 24-xviii. 4. Syn., Carp., κεφ. t., orn., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., with many later changes and weighty readings. (Greg. 485.)

573. Brit. Mus. Add. 5468 [a.d. 1338], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 226 (29), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., syn., men. It was “John Jackson's book, bought of Conant in Fleet Street, 1777, for five guineas.” Mut. Matt. i. 1-vi. 18, and the last leaf of St. Luke (xxiv. 47-53). This copy has the subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels of SS. Matthew and Mark. There is a probable reference to them at the end of St. John (ὁμοίως). It is coarsely written on thick vellum, with much lect. in vermilion. The breathings and accents are remarkably incorrect. (Greg. 686.)

574. Brit. Mus. Add. 7141, bought 1825, and once Claudius James Rich's [xiii, Greg. xi], 9-¾ × 7-½, ff. 192 (27), 2 cols., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am. (partial), Eus., lect. in red, subscr. (Greg. 490.)

*575 or kscr. Brit. Mus. Add. 11,300, Lebanon [xii], 6-¾ × 4-½, ff. 268 (26), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., most elegantly and correctly written, purchased in 1838, and said to come from Caesarea Philippi at the foot of Lebanon. Contains scholia: the text is broken up into paragraphs. (Re-examined by Bloomfield.) There is a beautiful facsimile page in the new “Catalogue of Ancient Manuscripts in the British Museum” (1881), Plate 16. (Greg. 478.)

576. (Act. 226, Paul. 268.) Brit. Mus. Add. 11,836, this and the next two are from Bishop Butler's collection: [xi], 7-¼ × 5-¼, ff. 305 (34), Eus. t. (blank), pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., κεφ. in Epistles, beautifully written in a minute hand and adorned with gold letters, contains Evan., [pg 258] Act., Cath., Paul., Psalms, &c. Mut. Mark i. 1-28; Acts i. 1-23; vii. 8-39; Ps. i. 1-3. Akin to Cod. 440 in St. Paul (Vansittart). (Greg. 491.)

577. Brit. Mus. Add. 11,838[263] [a.d. 1326, Ind. 9], 9-¼ × 6, ff. 269 (24), (syn., men. later), κεφ. t., pict. (lect., some ἀναγν. later), τίτλ., from Sinai, most beautifully written by Constantine, a monk. (Greg. 492.)

578. Brit. Mus. Add. 11,839 [xv], 10-½ × 8, chart., ff. 157 (27), lect. (later, and in latter part), ill-written, with later marginal notes, and no chapter divisions. Matt. iv. 13-xi. 27; Mark i. 1-vi. 1, are later. (Greg. 493.)

579. Brit. Mus. Add. 11,868, from the Butler collection [xi], 9-½ × 7, ff. 7 (29), 2 cols, (now bound separately), containing Matt. x. 33-xi. 12; xiii. 44-xiv. 6; xv. 14-18; 20-22; 26-29; 30-32; 34-xvii. 10; 34-xvii. 10; 12-15; 18-20; 22-24; 25 (sic)-xviii. 16, two half-leaves being lost, beautifully written in two columns. Κεφ., τίτλ. (mut.), Am., Eus., later lect. (Greg. 687.)

580. See Evan. 272. Instead—

Lord Herries [xiii], 8-½ × 6-1/8, f. 1 (26), κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (lect., ἀναγν. later). (See Greg. 576.)

581. Brit. Mus. Add. 16,183 (sic) [xii], 6-½ × 5-¾, ff. 181 (28, 29), Carp. (mut. at beg.), space for Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., syn., men., in a minute hand, bought (as was Cod. 582) of Captain C. K. Macdonald in 1846. The two came probably from Sinai, where he once saw Cod. א. (Greg. 495.)

582. (Act. 227, Paul. 279.) Brit. Mus. Add. 16,184 [xiii or xiv], 7-½ × 5-½, ff. 300 (33, 34), Carp., prol., κεφ. t., lect., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ., pict., syn., men., some later on paper. The whole New Testament, except the Apocalypse, in the usual Greek order. This copy contains many important various readings: e.g. it countenances Codd. אBL in Luke xi. 2, 4. (Greg. 496.)

583. Brit. Mus. Add. 16,943 [xi], 6 × 4-¾, ff. 184 (22, 23), in a very small hand, prol., κεφ. t., lect., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ., pict., syn., men., from the collection made by the Hon. F. North for the University of Corfu. See Evann. 531-2; Act. 198. (Greg. 497.)

584. (Act. 228, Paul. 269, Apoc. 97 or jscr.) Brit. Mus. Add. 17,469, contains the whole N. T., bought of T. Rodd in 1848 [xiv], 10-¼ × 7, ff. 187 (35) (very minute writing), with much other matter. Prol., vers., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn. Mut. Matt. i. 1-ii. 13; Mark v. 2-vi. 11; Acts i. 1-v. 2; James i. 1-v. 4; 3 John; Jude; Rom. i. 1-iv. 9; 2 Thess. ii. 13-1 Tim. i. 13; vi. 19-2 Tim. ii. 19. In Acts τίτλ., lect. rubro. Prol. to every Epistle. Written by Gerasimus. (Greg. 498.)

585. Brit. Mus. Add. 17,470 [a.d. 1034], 8 × 6, ff. 287 (20), syn., men., pict., κεφ. t. (with harm.), κεφ., τίτλ. (with harm.), Am., Eus., lect., with many marginal corrections of the text. Written by Synesius, a priest, bought of H. Rodd in 1848. “A singularly genuine specimen.” (Greg. 504.)

586. Brit. Mus. Add. 17,741 [xii], 9-¼ × 6-¼, ff. 216 (22), begins Matt. xii. 21, ends John xvii. 13: purchased in 1849. Am. (not Eus.), ἀρχαί and τέλη, lect. The genealogy in St. Luke is in three columns. (Greg. 499.)

587. Brit. Mus. Add. 17,982 [xiii], 8 × 6, ff. 244 (23), Carp., space for Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., ἀναγν., vers., syn., men., ending John xix. 39 (eight leaves being lost, also leaf containing xviii. 1-21), and believed to contain important readings. (Greg. 500.)

588. Brit. Mus. Add. 18,211 [xiii], 9-½ × 7-½, ff. 157 (23), 12 chart. [xv] to supply hiatus: κεφ. t., κεφ., Am., some τίτλ., lect., came from Patmos. F. V. J. Arundell, British Chaplain at Smyrna (1834), describes this copy, given him by Mr. Borrell, and a Lectionary sold to him at the same time, in his “Discoveries in Asia Minor,” vol. ii. p. 268. He there compares it with the beautiful Cod. Ebnerianus (Evan. 105), which it very slightly resembles, being larger and far less elegant. Mut. Matt. i. 1-19; Mark i. 1-16; Luke ix. 14-xvii. 4; xxi. 19-John iv. 5. (Greg. 501.)

589. Brit. Mus. Add. 19,387 [xii], 8-¼ × 6-½, ff. 235 (22), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., prol., κεφ. t., subscr., syn., men., written by one Leo, and found in a monastery of St. Maximus, begins Matt. viii. 6, and was purchased in 1853 from the well-known Constantine Simonides (Greg. 502)—as was also

590. Brit. Mus. Add. 19,389 [xiii], 4-¾ × 3-½, ff. 60 (26), κεφ., Am., lect., St. John's Gospel only, elegantly written by Cosmas Vanaretus, a monk. (Greg. 503.)

The foregoing Additional MSS. in the British Museum were examined and collated (apparently only in select passages) by Dr. S. T. Bloomfield for his “Critical Annotations on the Sacred Text” (1860), designed as a Supplement to the ninth edition of his Greek Testament, and comprising an opus supremum et ultimum, the last effort of a long and honourable literary career. He has passed under review no less than seventy manuscripts of the New Testament, twenty-three at Lambeth, the rest in the British Museum. The following have been accumulated since his time.

591. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,506 [a.d. 1305], 9-½ × 7, ff. 279 (22), κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., lect., τίτλ., Am., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν., written by Neophytus a monk of Cyprus, was bought at Milos by H. O. Coxe of a Greek who had it from a relative who had been ἡγούμενος of a Candian monastery. A facsimile is given in the new Museum Catalogue. (Greg. 645.)

592. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,736 [June, a.d. 1179], 9-½ × 7-½, ff. 226 (24), 2 cols., syn., prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., lect., τίτλ., Am., written by John ἀναγνωστης, with peculiar, almost barbarous, illuminations. (Greg. 688.)

593. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,737 [xii], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 313 (20), κεφ. t., κεφ., not τίτλ., lect., subscr., στίχ., syn., men., with decorations in very deep lake. (Greg. 689.)

594. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,738 [xiii], 6-¾ × 4-5/8, ff. 237 (23, 24), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ. (τίτλ., lect., syn., men., by another hand), Am., pict., rough and abounding with itacisms. Two rude pictures of Evangelists have been effaced. (Greg. 690.)

595. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,739, has a rather modern look [xiv ?], 7-3/8 × 5-3/8, ff. 275 (22), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ., t., κεφ., pict., τίτλ., Am., lect., στίχ., ἀναγν., with rough pictures and illuminations. (Greg. 691.)

596. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,740 [xii], 8 × 6, ff. 237 (23), prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (in blue), exquisitely written, said to greatly resemble Cod. 71 (gscr) in text, with illuminated headings to the Gospels. Mut. Luke ii. 7-21, and after τίτλ. of St. John. This MS. with Evst. 269, 270, 271, 272, and Evann. 592, 597, was bought of Sp. Lampros of Athens in 1859. (Greg. 692.)

597. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,741 [xiv], 10 × 7-¾, ff. 208 (22), Eus. t., Carp., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., orn., prol. (here called προγράμματα, a term we have not noticed elsewhere). Mut. Mark i. 27-43; ii. 2-16; John vii. 1-xxi. 25. (Greg. 693.)

598. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,112 [xv], 11-½ × 8-½, chart., ff. 211 (33, 34), (7-¼ pages Gr. and Lat.), κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., subscr., στίχ., ἀναγν., syn., men. Bought at Puttick's, 1861. (Greg. 694.)

599. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,373 [xiii], 9-¼ × 7-½, ff. 299 (22), syn., men., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., prol., pict., orn., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., subscr., very beautiful. Mut. Matt. i. 11-xv. 19. Long lect., ἀρχ. in marg., τέλ. in the text. Bought of H. S. Freeman, Consul at Janina, in 1862. (Greg. 695.)

600. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,376 [xiv], 10-¾ × 8-¼, ff. 350 (19), 2 cols., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., some Am., subscr., στίχ., syn., men. Remarkable pict. of the Annunciation and of the three later Evangelists, Gospel headings left blank. See Evst. 273-7. (Greg. 696.)

601. Brit. Mus. Add. 26,103 [xiv], 8 × 6, ff. 242 (25), orn., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (in gold), pict. (John), was found in a village near Corinth, and bought of C. L. Merlin, our Vice-Consul at Athens, in 1865. Beautifully written in very black ink, the first page of each Gospel being in gold. (Greg. 697.)

602. Brit. Mus. Add. 27,861 [xiv], 6-½ × 5, ff. 186 (19, 20, &c.), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., syn., men., from Sir T. Gage's sale, 1868, rough and dirty, with many marginal notes to supply omissions. St. Matthew's Gospel is wholly lost. No pict., but ornamentation in faded lake. (Greg. 698.)

603. (Act. 231, Paul. 266 and 271.) Brit. Mus. Add. 28,815 [x or xi], 11-½ × 8-½, ff. 302 (30), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., pict., sumptuously bound with silver-gilt plates. This noble fragment was bought (as were Act. 232, Evst. 279, 280) of Sir Ivor B. Guest in 1871, and contains the Gospels, Acts, Catholic Epistles, Romans, 1, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, the rest of the original volume being evidently torn out of the book when already bound. In the same year 1871 the Baroness Burdett-Coutts also imported from Janina in Epirus sixty-seven leaves containing the rest of St. Paul's Epistles and the Apocalypse (B.-C. II. 4, Paul. 266, Apoc. 89), which fragments were described in the second edition of the present book. Mr. Edward A. Guy, of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, U.S.A., on examining the Museum fragment in 1875 with my book in his hand, concluded that the two portions originally formed one magnificent copy of the whole New Testament, [pg 261] and when I brought the two together, I saw that the illuminated heading and initial capital on the first page of B.-C. II. 4 (Eph. i) was worked off through damp on the verso of the last leaf (302) of the Museum copy, and the red κεφ. of Gal. vi on the top of B.-C. II. 4, leaf one, recto. In the larger fragment we find two pict. of St. Luke (one of them before the Acts), one of St. John, with illuminated headings. Carp., Eus. t., &c. must have perished, as the first page opens with Matt. i. 1. It has τίτλ. in gold letters on purple vellum, a Harmony at the foot of fol. 17 b-18 b, and many brief marginal scholia. See Paul. 266 (B.-C. II. 4), which is at present five miles off, in the Library of Sir Roger Cholmeley's School, Highgate. (Greg. 699.)

604. Brit. Mus. Egerton 2610 [xii], 5-¾ × 4-¼, ff. 297 (19), about thirty letters to a line, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t. (Matt., Mark, Luke), τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict. (beautifully executed). First noticed by Dean Burgon, bought for the Museum in 1882, and collated by Mr. H. C. Hoskier, “Full Account, &c.,” D. Nutt, 1890. According to Mr. Hoskier's analysis it contains no less than 270 quite unique readings, siding at least twenty times alone with D, eleven with B, six with א, six with Evan. 1, twenty-nine with Evan. 473. It has 2724 variations from T. R. There are besides a vast number of almost unique readings, e.g. Luke xi. 2, for which Greg. Nyss. is about the only authority (Hoskier). (Greg. 700.)

605. (Act. 233, Paul. 243, Apoc. 106.) Zittaviensis A. 1 [xv], chart., ff. 775 (30), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ., vers., given to the Senate of Zittau (Lusatian Saxony) in 1620, contains the canonical books of the Old Testament down to Esther, with 1 Esdras, 4 Maccabees, Judith, Tobit, and the whole New Testament. Matthaei collated the Old Testament portion for Dean Holmes's edition of the Septuagint (Cod. 44), and saw its great critical value. It was examined, as so many others have been, by Dr. C. R. Gregory. (Greg. 664.)

The next two were bought for the Bodleian in 1882: they came from Constantinople.

606. Oxf. Bodl. Gr. Misc. 305 [xi], 9-½ × 7-¼, ff. 149 (27), pict. (Matt., Mark), κεφ., Am., Eus., few lect. (later), subscr. (Matt.), orn., Mut. Mark xvi. 19 (post καί) 20. The passages Matt. xvi. 2, 3; John v. 4; vii. 53-viii. 11 are obelized in the margin. (Greg. 707.)

607. Oxf. Bodl. Gr. Misc. 306 [xi], 7-¼ × 6, ff. 200 (32, &c.), Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., much cropped in binding. Mut. (1), fol. 1; (2) tops of pages containing τίτλοι; and (3) Quaternion of 8 ff., Matt. xx. 15-xxiv. 22. (Greg. 708.)

608. Brit. Mus. Add. 11,859-60 (palimpsest) is a Typicum or Rituale [xiv or xv], 10 × 7-¾, ff. 39 + 29 (uncertain), from the Butler collection, having written under it an earlier cursive text [xiii] containing, in 11,859, Matt. xii. 33-xiii. 7; xvi. 21-xvii. 15; xx. 1-15; 15-xxi. 5; Mark x. 45-xi. 17: 198 verses; and in 11,860, only twenty-seven verses of the Catholic Epistles, James 1-16; Jude 4-15. This is Act. 234. (Greg. 1274?)

The Rev. H. O. Coxe, late Bodley's Librarian, though quite unable to purchase any of the literary treasures he was commissioned to inspect in 1857, added considerably by his research to our knowledge of manuscripts in the East. A list of them was given in groups by Dr. Scrivener in the third edition of this work: but for various reasons they will be found separately placed amongst the ensuing MSS., to fill up gaps which have been since discovered in the supplementary list of cursive manuscripts that was bound up in the beginning of the last edition.

The Evann. 622-735 were reported to Dean Burgon from several Libraries in reply to his sedulous enquiries. Upon subsequent examination by Dr. C. R. Gregory on the spot, many of them were seen not to be Evangelia, but instead of that commentaries of St. Chrysostom, or other commentaries, or Evangelistaria, or MSS. containing other matter. Thus—including the list of the Abbé Martin, who extended Dean Burgon's numeration up to 776—the following must be excised: 643-665, 667, 673, 677-679, 681, 682, 685, 686, 688, 689, 695, 700-702, 706, 711, 712, 715-722, 724-728 (including 726 which Dr. Scrivener noticed as a duplication of 611), 731, 733, 734, 758, 760, 763, 771, 772, 775, 776. Gregory, Prolegomena, pp. 794, 795. The editor has inserted other MSS. in their places, being especially those found by the late Rev. H. O. Coxe in his travels, and enumerated in his Report to Her Majesty's Government.

720. Cyprus, Larnaca [xii], Gosp., 4to, syn. (Greg. 644.) Five more were noted by Mr. Coxe, but he was unable through illness to see them. They have been examined since then by Dr. Gregory.

Dr. Millingen mentions eight; but Dr. Gregory records only six, which must be taken to be the number. See Prolegomena 1144-49, p. 608.
