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.
