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?)
609. Camb. Univ. Libr., Hh. 6. 12 [xv], 8 × 5-¾, chart., ff. 182 (20, &c.), [pg 262] κεφ. t., prol., subscr. This must be Scholz's 1673 (N. T., vol. i. p. cxix), but it contains the Gospels only, not the Acts, as he supposes. (Greg. 552.)
610. Oxf. Bodl. Barocc. 59 [xi], 8-¼ 5-½, ff. 6 (21), 1 chart., κεφ. t. (John), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., containing Luke xxiii. 38-50; xxiv. 46-53; John i. 30-iii. 5 in a book of other matter [xv], chart. (Greg. 526.)
611. Rom. Angel. D. 3. 8, olim Cardinalis Passionei [xi], 9-5/8 × 6-½, ff. 442 (21), prol., κεφ. t. St. Luke with Theophylact's commentary, described with facsimile by Vitali in Bianchini's “Evan. Quadr.” vol. ii. pt. 1, pp. 506-40, 563, 560. (Greg. 848.)
