6. (Act. 6, Paul. 6.) Par. Nat. Gr. 112 [xi or later], is Stephen's ε´; in text it much resembles Codd. 4, 5, and 75. 12mo, 5-½ × 4-1/8, ff. 235, prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn. with St. Chrysostom's Liturgy, men. (Wetstein, Griesbach, Scholz). This exquisite manuscript is written in characters so small, that some pages require a glass to read them. Scholz collated Matt., Mark i-iv, John vii, viii (Greg.).
7. Par. Nat. Gr. 71 [xi], is Stephen's ϛ´. 8 × 6-¼, ff. 186 (29), prol., syn., Carp., Eus. t., pict., τίτλ. with metrical paraphrase, Am., Eus., men., very full lect. In style not unlike Cod. 4, but neater (Wetst., Scholz, Abbé Martin, Greg.).
8. Par. Nat. Gr. 49 [xi], 11-¼ × 8-½, ff. 199 (22), two columns, proved by Mr. Vansittart to be Stephen's ζ´[227]: beautifully written in two columns [pg 192] on the page. Carp., Eus. t., prol., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., men., Am., Eus., syn. (Wetst., Scholz, Greg.).
9. Par. Nat. Gr. 83 [a.d. 1167, when “Manuel Porphyrogenitus was ruler of Constantinople, Amauri of Jerusalem, William II of Sicily”: this note (derived from Wetstein) is now nearly obliterate], 9-¼ × 6-¾, ff. 298 (20), is probably Stephen's ιβ´. Carp., Eus. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., syn., mut., men., subscr., στίχ. (first leaf of St. John). It once belonged to Peter Stella. The style is rather barbarous, and ornamentation peculiar (Kuster's Paris 3, Scholz, Greg.).
10. Par. Nat. Gr. 91 [xiii or later], 7-½ × 5-7/8, ff. 275 (24), given in 1439 to a library of Canons Regular at Verona by Dorotheus Archbishop of Mitylene, when he came to the Council of Florence. Scholz tells us that it was “antea Joannis Huraultii Boistallerii.” Griesbach mistook this copy for Reg. 95, olim 2865/3, which is Kuster's Paris 1 and Wetstein's Cod. 10, being Cod. 285 of Scholz and our own list (Burgon, Guardian, Jan. 15, 1873). Carp., Eus. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn., men. (Griesbach, Scholz, Greg.).
11. Par. Nat. Gr. 121-2 [xii or earlier], in two small volumes, 6-3/8 × 3-5/8, neatly written, ff. 230 and 274 (16), Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. It also once belonged to Teller (Kuster's Paris 4, Scholz, Greg.).
12. Par. Nat. Gr. 230 [xi], 10-3/8 × 8-1/8, 294 (21), prol., pict., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., with a commentary, that on St. Mark being Victor's of Antioch (Greg.).
13. Par. Nat. Gr. 50 [xii], 9-¼ × 7-½, ff. 170 (29), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am. lect., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., is Kuster's Paris 6, who says that it supplied him with more various readings than all the rest of his Paris manuscripts put together. This, like Codd. 10, 11, once belonged to Teller: it is not correctly written. Syn., mut. in Matt. i. 1-ii. 20; xxvi. 33-53; xxvii. 26-xxviii. 10; Mark i. 20-45; John xxi. 3-25; 163 verses (Kuster, Wetstein, Griesbach, Begtrup in 1797). This manuscript was collated in 1868 by Professor W. H. Ferrar, Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin [d. 1871], who regarded Codd. 13, 69, 124, 346 as transcripts of one archetype, which he proposed to restore by comparing the four copies together. His design was carried out by Professor T. K. Abbott, Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College. For facsimiles of them all, &c., see “Collation of Four Important Manuscripts of the Gospels,” &c. Dublin, 1877 (Greg.).
14. Par. Nat. Gr. 70 [xii or xiii, Greg. x], 6-7/8 × 4-5/8, ff. 392 (17), once Cardinal Mazarin's; was Kuster's Paris 7. A facsimile of this beautiful copy, with round conjoined minuscule letters, regular breathings and [pg 193] accents, is given in the “Paléographie Universelle,” No. 78, and in Montfaucon, Pal. Gr., p. 282. Mut. Matt. i. 1-9; iii. 16-iv. 9. Κεφ. t., pict., Paschal Canon, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (Kuster, Scholz).
15. Par. Nat. Gr. 64 [x], 7-¼ × 5-5/8, ff. 225 (23), Carp., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., men., is Kuster's Paris 8. Eus. t., syn., pict. very superb: the first three pages are written in gold, with exquisite miniatures, four on p. 2, four on p. 3, Burgon. (Kuster, Scholz, Greg.)
