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).

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.
