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.
