Chapter VII: Cursive Manuscripts of the Gospels. Part I (2)

92. Faeschii 1 (Act. 49) [xiv or xv]. 94. Faeschii 2 [xvi or xvii]. The former, 10-¼ × 8, ff. 141, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., _pict._, contains St. Mark with Victor’s commentary on vellum, and scholia on the Catholic Epistles, with the authors’ names, Didymus, Origen, Cyril, &c., and is referred by Gregory to the tenth century; the latter, 8-½ × 5-½, ff. 172 (22), SS. Mark and Luke, with Victor’s commentary on St. Mark, that of Titus of Bostra on St. Luke, on paper [xv or xvi, Greg.]. Both belonged to Andrew Faesch, of Basle, and were collated by Wetstein. Dean Burgon found them both at Basle (O. ii. 27 and O. ii. 23).

93. Graevii [1632-1703] of the Gospels, cited by Vossius on the Genealogy, Luke iii, but not known (Cod. 80? Greg.).

95. Oxf. Lincoln Coll. II. Gr. 16 [xii or earlier], 10-½ × 8, ff. 110 (20), is Mill’s Wheeler 2(238). It contains SS. Luke and John with commentary, _mut._ Luke i. 1-xi. 2; John vii. 2-17; xx. 31-xxi. 10. With full scholia neatly written in the margin, κεφ., _Am._ (later), _syn._, _men._ (Mill, Professor Nicoll).

96. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 8 (Auct. D. 5. 1) [xv], 5-3/8 × 3-¾, ff. 62 (18), _chart._, is Walton’s and Mill’s Trit., with many rare readings, containing St. John with a commentary, beautifully written by Jo. Trithemius, Abbot of Spanheim [d. 1516]. Received from Abraham Scultet by Geo. Hackwell, 1607 (Walton’s Polyglott, Mill, Griesbach).

97. Hirsaugiensis [1500, by Nicolas, a monk of Hirschau in Bavaria], 12mo, ff. 71, on vellum, containing St. John, seems but a copy of 96. Collated by Maius, and the collation given in J. D. Michaelis, Orientalische und exegetische Bibliothek, ii. p. 243, &c. (Greg., Bengel(239), Maius, Schulz).

98. Oxf. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 5 [xii], 8-½ × 6, ff. 222 (25), _pict._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ., brought by Clarke from the East. It was collated in a few places for Scholz, who substituted it here for Cod. R (_see_ p. 139) of Griesbach.

99. Lipsiensis, Bibliothec. Paul, [xvi], 8-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 22 (22, 23), Matthaei’s 18, contains Matt. iv. 8-v. 27; vi. 2-xv. 30; Luke i. 1-13; _Carp._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _syn._ (Matthaei, Greg.). Wetstein’s 99 is our 155.

100. Paul. L. B. de Eubeswald [x], 4to, 9-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 374, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._ (_syn._, _men._, ἀναγν. later), vellum, _mut._ John xxi. 25; _pict._, κεφ. _t._, _Eus. t._, and in a later hand many corrections with scholia, _chart._ J. C. Wagenseil used it in Hungary for John viii. 6. Now in the University of Pesth, but in the fifteenth century belonging to Bp. Jo. Pannonius. Edited at Pesth in 1860 “cum interpretatione Hungaria” by S. Markfi.

101. Uffenbach. 3 [xvi], 12mo, _chart._, St. John στιχήρης. So near the Basle (that is, we suppose, Erasmus’) edition, that Bengel scarcely ever cites it. With two others (Paul. M. and Acts 45) it was lent by Z. C. Uffenbach, Consul of Frankfort-on-the-Main, to Wetstein in 1717, and afterwards to Bengel. (Gregory would omit it.)

102. Bibliothecae Medicae, an unknown manuscript with many rare readings, extracted by Wetstein at Amsterdam for Matt. xxiv-Mark viii. 1, from the margin of a copy of Plantin’s N. T. 1591, in the library of J. Le Long. Canon Westcott is convinced that the manuscript from which these readings were derived is none other than Cod. B itself, and Dr. Gregory agrees with him. In St. Matthew’s Gospel he finds the two authorities agree seventy times and differ only five times, always in a manner to be easily accounted for: in St. Mark they agree in eighty-four out of the eighty-five citations, the remaining one (ch. ii. 22) being hardly an exception. Westcott, New Test., Smith’s “Dictionary of the Bible.” Hort’s Cod. 102 is wscr (Evan. 507), to be described hereafter.

103. Regius 196 [xi], fol., once Cardinal Mazarin’s, seems the same manuscript as that from which Emericus Bigot gave extracts for Curcellaeus’ N. T. 1658 (Scholz). Burgon supposes some mistake here, as he finds Reg. 196 to be a copy of Theophylact’s commentary on SS. Matthew and Mark, written over an older manuscript [viii or ix]. Perhaps the same as 14 or 278 (Greg.).

104. Hieronymi Vignerii [x], from which also Bigot extracted readings, which Wetstein obtained through J. Drieberg in 1744, and published. Perhaps 697 (Greg.).

105. (Act. 48, Paul. 24.) Cod. Ebnerianus, Bodl. Misc. Gr. 136, a beautiful copy [xii], 8 × 6-¼, ff. 426 (27), formerly belonging to Jerome Ebner von Eschenbach of Nuremberg. _Pict._, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), _subscr._, στίχ., the Nicene Creed, all in gold: with _lect._ throughout and _syn._, _men._ prefixed by Joasaph, a calligraphist, A.D. 1391, who also added John viii. 3-11 at the end of that Gospel. Facsimile in Horne’s Introduction, and in Tregelles’ Horne, p. 220 (Schoenleben 1738, Rev. H. O. Coxe, by whom the collation was lent before 1845 to the Rev. R. J. F. Thomas, Vicar of Yeovil [d. 1873], together with one of Canon. Graec. 110 of the Acts and Epistles, both of which are mislaid).

106. Winchelsea [x], with many important readings, often resembling the Harkleian Syriac: not now in the Earl of Winchelsea’s Library (Jackson collated it for Wetstein in 1748).

107. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 6 [xiv and later], 8-½ × 6-¾, ff. 351, κεφ. _t._, _pict._, κεφ., τίτλ., containing the Gospels in different hands. (Like 98, 111, 112, _partially_ collated for Scholz.) Griesbach’s 107 is also 201.

108. Vindobonensis Caesarei, Suppl. Gr. 2, formerly Kollar. 4 [xi], 12-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 426, 2 vols. With a commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark: Burgon, Last Twelve Verses, &c., p. 288), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _pict._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _subscr._, στίχ. It seems to have been written at Constantinople, and formerly belonged to Parrhasius, then to the convent of St. John de Carbonaria at Naples (Treschow, Alter, Birch, Scholz).

109. Brit. Mus. Addit. 5117 [a.d. 1326], 7-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 225 (24-30), ll. rubr., _Carp._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Eus. t._, _syn._, _men._, _lect._, _Am._, τίτλ., _subscr._, στίχ., Mead. 1, then Askew (5115 is Act. 22, and 5116 is Paul. 75, these two in the same hand; different from that employed in the Gospels).

110(240). Brit. Mus. Addit. 19,386 [xiv], 11 × 8, ff. 267 (?), _Carp._, _Eus. t._ (faded), κεφ. _t._, _prol._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, _syn._, with a dial of the year. Four Gospels with commentary by Theophylact. Purchased from Constantine Simonides in 1853. (Greg. 1260.)

111(241). Bodl. Clarke 7 [xii], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 181 (31), κεφ. _t._ (_mut._ Matt.), κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _vers._, _subscr._, στίχ. _Mut._ John xvi. 27-xvii. 15; xx. 25-end, and

112(242). Bodl. Clarke 10 [xi], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 167 (33), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _prol._, _pict._, _syn._, _men._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, with commencement and large letters in gold, having both _Am._ and _Eus._, in Matt. i-Mark ii, in the same line (a very rare arrangement; _see_ Codd. 192, 198, 212, and Wake 21 _below_), a very beautiful copy. These two, very partially collated for Scholz, were substituted by him and Tischensdorf for collations whose history is not a little curious.

113. Brit. Mus. Harleian. 1810 [xi], 8 × 7-¼, ff. 270 (26), _prol._, _syn._ (later), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _pict._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._ (Griesbach, Bloomfield). Apparently this is Bentley’s θ “membr. 4to 600 annorum,” collated by him in the margin of Trin. Coll. B. xvii. 5 (_see_ Cod. 51). Its readings are of more than usual interest, as are those of the next.

114. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5540 [x], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 280 (20) (facsimile in a Greek Testament, published in 1837 by Taylor, London), very elegant, with more recent marginal notes and Matt. xxviii. 19-Mark i. 12 in a later hand. _Mut._ Matt. xvii. 4-18; xxvi. 59-73 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). _Carp._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), κεφ. _t._ (Luke, John). _See_ Canon Westcott’s article, “New Test.,” in Smith’s “Dictionary of the Bible.”

115. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5559 [xii], 6-¾ × 5-¾, ff. 271 (19), κεφ., some τίτλ., _Am._, frequently _Eus._(243), once Bernard Mould’s (Smyrna, 1724), with an unusual text. _Mut._ Matt. i. 1-viii. 10; Mark v. 23-36; Luke i. 78-ii. 9; vi. 4-15; John xi. 2-xxi. 25 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). A few more words of John xi survive.

116. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5567 [xii], 6-¼ × 5, ff. 300 (23), _Syn._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _subscr._, ἀναγν., στίχ., _men._, of some value. It belonged in 1649 to Athanasius a Greek monk, then to Bernard Mould (Griesbach, Bloomfield).

117. (Apost. 6.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5731 [xv], 8 × 6, ff. 202 (28), carelessly written, once belonged to Bentley. _Mut._ Matt. i. 1-18: _pict._, _prol._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, _Am._, _syn._, fragments of a Lectionary on the last twenty leaves (Griesbach, Bloomfield).

*118. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 13 [xiii], 7-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 257, an important palimpsest (with the Gospels _uppermost_) once the property of Archbishop Marsh of Armagh [d. 1713]. _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., _lect._, _Am._, _Eus._, στίχ., ῥήμ. (_syn._, _men._ later), and some of the Psalms on paper. Later hands also supplied Matt. i. 1-vi. 2; Luke xiii. 35-xiv. 20; xviii. 8-xix. 9; John xvi. 25-xxi. 25. Well collated by (Griesbach).

119. Paris Nat. Gr. 85 [xii], 9 × 6-3/8, ff. 237 (23), formerly Teller’s of Rheims, is Kuster’s Paris 5 (Griesbach, Gregory), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ., _pict._

120. Par. Nat. Suppl. Gr. 185 [xiii], 7-½ × 5-3/8, ff. 177, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, formerly belonged to St. Victor’s on the Walls, and seems to be Stephen’s ιδ᾽, whose text (1550) and Colinaeus’ (1534) it closely resembles. St. Mark is wanting (Griesbach).

121. Par. St. Geneviève, A. O. 34 [Sept. 1284, Indiction 12], 7-7/8 × 6, ff. 241, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._ _Mut._ Matt. v. 21-viii. 24 (Griesbach).

122. (Act. 177, Paul. 219.) Lugdunensis-Batavorum Bibl. publ. Gr. 74 A [xii], 7-1/8 × 5-½, ff. 222, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _vers._, στίχ., _men._, once Meerman’s(244) 116. _Mut._ Acts i. 1-14; xxi. 14-xxii. 28; 1 John iv. 20-Jude 25; Rom. i. 1-vii. 13; 1 Cor. ii. 7-xiv. 23 (J. Dermout, Collectanea Critica in N. T., 1825). Griesbach’s 122 is also 97. See Cod. 435.

123. Vindobon. Caesar, Nessel. 240, formerly 30 [xi], 4to, 8-1/8 × 6, ff. 328 (18), brought from Constantinople about 1562 by the Imperial Ambassador to the Porte, Ogier de Busbeck; _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _pict._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _subscr._, corrections by another hand (Treschow, Alter, Birch).

This manuscript was written in Calabria, where it belonged to a certain Leo, and was brought to Vienna probably in 1564. It resembles the Harkleian Syriac, Old Latin, Codd. DL. i. 13, and especially 69 (Treschow, Alter, Birch). Collated by Dr. Em. Hoffmann for Professor Ferrar where Alter and Birch disagree. _See_ Cod. 13, for Abbott’s recent edition.

125. Vind. Caes. Suppl. G. 50, formerly Kollar. 6 [x], 8-¾ × 6-7/8, ff. 306 (23), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _pict._ (_lect._, _subscr._, στίχ., _vers._ later), with many corrections in the margin and between the lines (Treschow, Alter, Birch).

126. Guelpherbytanus xvi. 6, Aug. Quarto [xi], 8-¼ × 6-1/8, ff. 219 (26), carelessly written, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _prol._, _pict._, with _lect._, _syn._ in a later hand, and some quite modern corrections. Matt. xxviii. 18-20 is cruciform, capitals often occur in the middle of words, and the text is of an unusual character. Inspected by (Heusinger 1752, Knittel, Tischendorf).

N.B. Codd. 127-181, all at Rome, were inspected, and a few (127, 131, 157) really collated by Birch, about 1782. Of 153 Scholz collated the greater part, and small portions of 138-44; 146-52; 154-57; 159-60; 162; 164-71; 173-75; 177-80.

Bought at Constantinople in 1438 by Nicolas de Cuza, Eastern Legate to the Council of Ferrara (_see_ Cod. 87).

130. Rom. Vat. Gr. 359 [xiii Birch, xv or xvi Greg.], 11-1/8 × 8-¼, _chart._, ff. 229 (26), ll. rubr., κεφ. lat., a curious copy, with the Greek and Latin in parallel columns, and the Latin chapters.

131. (Act. 70, Paul. 77.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 360 [xi Birch, xiv or xv Greg.], 9-¼ × 7, ff. 233 (37), 2 cols., contains the whole New Testament except the Apoc. (Birch), with many remarkable variations, and a text somewhat like that of Aldus’ Greek Testament (1518). The manuscript was given to Sixtus V [1585-90] for the Vatican by “Aldus Manuccius Paulli F. Aldi.” The Epistle to the Hebrews stands before 1 Tim. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, of an unusual arrangement (viz. Matt. 74, Mark 46, Luke 57). _Am._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, στίχ. (_lect._ with _init._ later). This copy contains many itacisms, and corrections _primâ manu_.

140. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1158 [xii], 9-¼ × 6-¾, ff. 408 (22), 2 cols., beautifully written, and given by the Queen of Cyprus to Innocent VII (1404-6). _Eus. t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _pict._ In Luke i. 64 it supports the Complutensian reading, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ διηρθρώθη.

Gr. 1160 [xiii], 2 vols., 9-¼ × 6-½, ff. 400 (26), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, ἀναγν., _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, στίχ., _pict._, _Euthal._, contains the whole New Testament, _syn._, _pict._ The leaves are arranged in quaternions, but separately numbered for each Volume (Birch).

142. (Act. 76, Paul. 87.) Rom. Vat. Gr. 1210 [xi], 4-¾ × 3-¼, ff. 324 (30), very neat, κεφ. _t._ at end, κεφ., τίτλ., _subscr._, _pict._, _Euthal._ (_syn._, _men._, A.D. 1447), containing also the Psalms. There are many marginal readings in another ancient hand.

Given by Andrew Rivet to Rutgersius, Swedish Ambassador to the United Provinces. This copy is Wetstein’s 99, the codex Rutgersii cited by Dan. Heinsius in his Exercitat. sacr. in Evangel.

156. Rom. Alex.-Vat. 189 [xii], 4-¾ × 4, ff. 244 (23), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._; “ex bibliothecâ Goldasti” is on the first page.

157. Rom. Urbino-Vat. 2 [xii], 7-3/8 × 5-¼, ff. 325 (22), _Carp._, _prol._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, _subscr._, _pict._ It belonged to the Ducal Library at Urbino, and was brought to Rome by Clement VII (1523-34). It is very beautifully written (Birch, N. T. 1788, gives a facsimile), certain chronicles and rich ornaments in vermilion and gold. On fol. 19 we read underneath two figures respectively Ιωαννης εν _χω_ τω _θω_ πιστος βασιλευς πορφυρογεννητος και αυτοκρατωρ ῥωμαιων, ὁ Κομνηνος, and Αλεξιος εν _χω_ τω _θω_ πιστος βασιλευς πορφυρογεννητος ὁ Κομνηνος. The Emperor John II the Handsome succeeded his father, the great Alexius, A.D. 1118. This MS. is remarkable for its eclectic text, which is said by Zahn to approach sometimes that of Marcion (Geschichte d. N. T. Kanons, i. 456, note 2, and 457, note 1). It is often in agreement with Codd. BDL, 69, 106, and especially with 1.

158. Cod. Pii II, Rom. Vat. 55 [xi], 3-½ × 3, ff. 235 (20), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._ (partial), and readings in the margin, _primâ manu_. This copy was given to the Library by Pius II (1458-64).

159. Rom. Barberinianus 464, formerly 8 [xi], 10-3/8 × 8-1/8, ff. 203 (23), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._ (_Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, Matt., _syn._, _men._ xvi), in the Barberini Library, at Rome, founded above two centuries since by the Cardinal, Francis II, of that name.

160. Rom. Barb. iv. 27, formerly 9 [dated 1123], 8-7/8 × 7-1/8, ff. 216, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._

161. Rom. Barb. iii. 17, formerly 10 [x or xi], 8 × 6-½, ff. 203 (24), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._ (_lect._ later), ending at John xvi. 4. This copy follows the Latin version both in its text (John iii. 6) and marginal scholia (John vii. 29). Various readings are often thus noted in its margin.

162. Rom. Barb. iv. 31, formerly 11 [dated May 13, 1153 (ϛχξά), Indict. 1], 9-¼ × 6-¾, written by one Manuel: ff. 248 (23), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _pict._, _subscr._

163. Rom. Barb. v. 16, formerly 12 [xi], 11-1/8 × 8, ff. 173 (33), 2 cols., _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, _pict._, written in Syria. Scholz says it contains only the portions of the Gospels read in Church-lessons, but Birch the four Gospels, with the numbers of ῥήματα and στίχοι to the first three Gospels.

164. Rom. Barb. iii. 38, formerly 13 [dated Oct. 1039], 6-7/8 × 5-3/8, ff. 214 (27), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._, _pict._ (_syn._, _men._ later), and the numbers of στίχοι. The subscription states that it was written by Leo, a priest and calligrapher, and bought in 1168 by Bartholomew, who compared it with ancient Jerusalem manuscripts on the sacred mount.

165. Rom. Barb. v. 37, formerly 14 [dated 1291], 11-7/8 x 8, ff. 215, 2 cols., _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _syn._, with the Latin Vulgate version. Written for one Archbishop Paul, and given to the Library by Eugenia, daughter of Jo. Pontanus.

166. Rom. Barb. iii. 131, formerly 115 [xiii], 4to, 8-3/8 × 6-½, ff. 75 (27), κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, containing only SS. Luke ix. 33-xxiv. 24 and John.

167. Rom. Barb. iii. 6, formerly 208 [xiii], 4-7/8 × 3-¼, ff. 264 (25), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _pict._ (later).

168. Rom. Barb. vi. 9, formerly 211 [xiii], 13-3/8 × 8-5/8, ff. 217, 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._ (Mark _subscr._, στίχ.).

169. Rom. Vallicellianus B. 133 [xi], 4-¾ × 4, ff. 249 (19), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _subscr._, _syn._, _men._, _pict._, once the property of Achilles Statius, as also was Cod. 171. This codex and the next three are in the Library of St. Maria in Vallicella at Rome, and belong to the Fathers of the Oratory of St. Philippo Neri.

170. Rom. Vallicell. C. 61 [xiii-xv], 8-½ × 6-¼, ff. 277 (23), _prol._, κεφ. _t._ κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, ἀναγν., _subscr._, στίχ. (occasionally in later hand). The end of St. Luke and most of St. John is in a later hand.

171. Rom. Vallicell. C. 73 [xiv, Montfaucon xi], 5-¾ × 4-¼, ff. 253 (20), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._ 172. Rom. Vallicell. F. 90 [xii], 4to, ff. 217, now only contains the Pentateuch, but from Bianchini, I. ii. pp. 529-30, we infer that the Gospels were once there.

173. Rom. Vat. Gr. 1983, formerly Basil. 22, ending John xiii. 1, seems to have been written in Asia Minor [xi Birch and Burgon, xii or xiii Greg.], 7-7/8 × 5-¼, ff. 155 (20), 2 cols., _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _men._, _subscr._; ῥήμ., στίχ. as in Codd. 163, 164, 167. This codex, and the next four, were brought from the Library of the Basilian monks.

174. Rom. Vat. Gr. 2002, formerly Basil. 41 [dated second hour of Sept. 7, A.D. 1052], 9-¾ × 7-½, ff. 132 (30), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ. _Mut._ 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).

175. (Act. 41, Paul. 194, Apoc. 20.) Rom. Vat. 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 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.

183. Flor. Laur. vi. 14 [xiv, xii Greg.], 6-½ × 5-1/8, ff. 349 (19), _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._ in gold; and in a later hand, _capp. Lat._, ἀναγν., _lect._, _syn._, _men._, at the end of which is τέλος σὺν Θεῷ ἁγίῳ τοῦ μηνολογίου, ἀμήν; αυιή´, i.e. A.D. 1418. This mode of reckoning is very rare (_see_ p. 42, note 2), and tempted Scholz to read ϛυιή of the Greek era, i.e. A.D. 910.

184. Flor. Laur. vi. 15 [xiii], 11-¼ × 5-½, ff. 72 (49), 2 cols., _Carp._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._ Left in an unfinished state.

185. Flor. Laur. vi. 16 [xii], 14 × 6-¾, ff. 341 (21), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, ἀναγν., _subscr._, στίχ. The summary of the Synaxarion is subscribed Πόνος Βασιλείου, καὶ Θῦ λόγου λόγοι (Burgon).

186. Flor. Laur. vi. 18 [xi], fol., 11-1/8 × 8-½, ff. 260 (20), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _syn._, _men._, _pict._ (Matt.), commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark); written by Leontius, a calligrapher. Burgon cites Bandini’s Catal. i. 130-3, where the elaborate _syn._ are given in full.

187. Flor. Laur. vi. 23 [xii], 7-7/8 x 6-¼, ff. 212 (25), _pict._ very rich and numerous. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), all in gold. A peculiar kind of asterisk occurs very frequently in the text and margin, the purpose of which is not clear.

188. Flor. Laur. vi. 25 [xi], 6 × 4-½, ff. 228 (26), _syn._ and _men._ full and beautiful. _Prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ.

189. (Act. 141, Paul. 239.) Flor. Laur. vi. 27 [xii], 4-½ × 3-7/8, ff. 452 (24), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., _lect._, ἀναγν., _Euthal._ in Cath. and Paul., minute and beautifully written, _mut._ from John xix. 38.

190. Flor. Laur. vi. 28 [July, 1285, Ind. 13], 8vo, 5-5/8 × 4-3/8, ff. 439 (17), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _pict._

191. Flor. Laur. vi. 29 [xiii], 5-1/8 × 3-¾, ff. 180 (27), _prol._, κεφ. Lat., _subscr._, with στίχοι numbered: ἀναγνώσματα marked in a more recent hand.

192. Flor. Laur. vi. 30 [xiii], 4-¾ × 3-½, ff. 200 (28), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, _subscr._, _Am._ and _Eus._ in one line, the latter later (_see_ Cod. 112): ἀρχὴ of _lect._, never τέλος.

193. Flor. Laur. vi. 32 [xi], 8vo, 6-¼ × 5, ff. 165 (27), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _pict._, κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), (ἀναγν., _lect._ in later hand).

194. Flor. Laur. vi. 33 [xi], 11-¾ × 9-¾, ff. 263 (22), _pict._, and a marginal catena (Victor’s on St. Mark) resembling that of Cod. 34: e.g. on Luke xxiv. 13. Κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), _subscr._, στίχ., _pict._ Begins Matt. iii. 7.

195. Flor. Laur. vi. 34 [xi], 10-7/8 × 8-5/8, ff. 277 (25), once belonged to the Cistercian convent of S. Salvator de Septimo. _Prol._ (the same as in Cod. 186 but briefer, attributed to Eusebius), _syn._, and a commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark). The date of the year is lost, but the month (May) and indiction (8) remain. Κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _syn._, _men._

196. Flor. Laur. viii. 12 [xii], 9-¾ × 7-¼, ff. 369 (44), _prol._, κεφ. _t._ (all together at the beginning), κεφ., τίτλ., the text in red letters (_see_ p. 184, note 1), _pict._, with a catena in black. Given by a son of Cosmo de’ Medici in 1473 to the Convent of St. Mark at Florence.

197. (Act. 90.) Flor. Laur. viii. 14 [xi], fol., 11-¾ × 9-¼, ff. 154 (29), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., contains the Epistle of St. James with a marginal gloss: also portions of SS. Matthew and Mark, with Chrysostom’s commentary on St. Matthew, and Victor’s on St. Mark, all imperfect.

198. Flor. Laur. Ædil. 221 [xiii], 4to, 9-¾ × 6-5/8, ff. 171 (29), _chart._, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _subscr._: from the library “Aedilium Flor. Ecc.” Here again _Am._ and _Eus._ are in the same line (_see_ Cod. 112): the ἀναγνώσματα also are numbered.

Codd. 199-203 were inspected, rather than collated, by Birch at Florence before 1788; the first two in the Benedictine library of St. Maria; the others in that of St. Mark, belonging to the Dominican Friars. Scholz could not find any of them, but 201 is Wetstein’s 107, Scrivener’s m; 202 is now in the British Museum, Addit. 14,774. The other two Burgon found in the Laurentian Library, whither they came at the suppression of monasteries in 1810. They were examined afterwards by Gregory.

199. Flor. Laur. Conv. Sopp. 160, formerly Badia 99 or S. Mariae 67 [xii], 5-5/8 × 4-¾, ff. 229 (25), _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._ with _harm._, κεφ., τίτλ., _subscr._, _pict._, _lect._, with iambic verses and various scholia. The στίχοι are numbered and, besides _Am._, _Eus._, there exists in parts a Harmony at the foot of the pages, such as is described in p. 58, note 2.

200. Flor. Laur. Conv. Sopp. 159, formerly Badia 69 or S. Mariae 66 [x], 8-¾ × 6-7/8, ff. 229 (25), _pict._, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, all in gold: _Eus._ in red, κεφ., τίτλ., with fragments of Gregory of Nyssa against the Arians (_syn._ and _men._ xiv). There are many scholia in vermilion scattered throughout the book. Codd. 199, 200 were presented to St. Maria’s by Antonia Corbinelli [d. 1423]: the latter from St. Justina’s, another Benedictine house.

*201. (Act. 91, Paul. 104, Apoc. 94.) Lond. Brit. Mus. Addit. 11,837, formerly Praedicator. S. Marci 701 [Oct. 7, 1357, Ind. 11], 13-½ × 11, ff. 492 (22), is mscr. in the Gospels, pscr. in Act., Paul., and bscr. in Apoc. This splendid copy was purchased for the British Museum from the heirs of Dr. Samuel Butler, Bishop of Lichfield. It contains the whole New Testament; was first cited by Wetstein (107) from notices by Jo. Lamy, in his “de Eruditione Apostolorum,” Florence, 1738; glanced at by Birch, and stated by Scholz (N. T. vol. ii. pp. xii, xxviii) to have been cursorily collated by himself: how that is possible can hardly be understood, as he elsewhere professes his ignorance whither the manuscript had gone (N. T. vol. i. p. lxxii). Scrivener collated the whole volume. There are many changes by a later hand, also _syn._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, some _Eus._, _lect._, _prol._, ἀναγν., _subscr._, στίχ., _vers._, and some foreign matter.

202. Brit. Mus. Addit. 14,774, formerly Praed. S. Marci 705 [xii], 10 × 8, ff. 278 (21), κεφ. _t._ (in red and gold), _orn._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._ (the last often omitted), _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ., _men._, _syn._ This splendid copy cost the Museum £84 (Bloomfield).

203. Flor. Bibl. Nat. Convent. i. 10, 7, formerly Praed. S. Marci 707 [xv], 8-5/8 × 5-¾, _chart._, is really in modern Greek. Birch cites it for John vii. 53, but it ought to be expunged from the list.

204. (Act. 92, Paul. 105.) [xi or xiii], Bologna, Bibl. Univ. 2775, formerly Bononiensis Canonicor. Regular. St. Salvador 640. After the suppression of the house in 1867, it was moved to its present place. 7-¾ × 5-3/8, ff. 443 (25). _Syn._, κεφ., ἀναγνώσματα numbered (without _Am._, _Carp._), _lect._, _pict._ (Birch, Scholz, corrected by Burgon). Also τίτλ., _men._, _subscr._, στίχ.

Codd. 205-215, 217 in the Ducal palace at Venice, were slightly examined by Birch in 1783, carefully by Burgon in 1872, and by Gregory in 1886.

205. (Act. 93, Paul. 106, Apoc. 88.) Venice, Mark 5 [xv], large fol., 15-½ × 11, ff. 441 (55, 56), _prol._ (Cath., Paul.), κεφ. _t._, κεφ. (Gr. and Lat.), τίτλ., _subscr._, contains both Testaments, with many peculiar readings. It was written for Cardinal Bessarion (apparently by John Rhosen his librarian), the donor of all these books. This is Dean Holmes’ No. 68 in the Septuagint, and contains a note in the Cardinal’s hand: τόπος μκ. Ἡ θεία γραφὴ παλαιά τε καὶ νέα πᾶσα; κτῆμα Βησσαρίωνος Καρδηνάλεως Ἐπισκόπου Οαβινων τοῦ (sic) καὶ Νικαίας. By τόπος μκ Holmes understands the class mark of the volume in Bessarion’s Library. W. F. Rinck considers it in the _Gospels_ a copy of Cod. 209 (“Lucubratio Critica in Act. Apost. Epp. C. et P.,” Basileae, 1830). Burgon, who fully admits their wonderful similarity in respect to the text, judges that Cod. 205, which is much more modern than Cod. 209, was transcribed from the same _uncial_ archetype.

206. (Act. 94, Paul. 107, Apoc. 101.) Ven. Mark 6 [xv or xvi], 15 × 10-5/8, ff. 431, like Codd. 69 and 233, is partly on parchment, partly on paper. It contains both Testaments, but is not numbered for the Apocalypse. A mere duplicate of Cod. 205, as Holmes saw clearly: it is his No. 122.

207. Ven. Mark 8 [xi or xii], 10-7/8 × 8-3/8, ff. 267 (22), 2 cols., _Carp._, _prol._, _pict._, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._) in gold, _syn._, _men._, _mut._ in Matt. i. 1-13; Mark i. 1-11, for the sake of the gorgeous illuminations. Written in two columns. Once owned by A. F. R.

208. Ven. Mark 9 [xi or xii], 7-1/8 × 5-¾, ff. 239 (23), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, of some value.

209. (Act. 95, Paul. 108, Apoc. 46.) Ven. Mark 10 [xi, xiv Greg.], 7-¾ × 4-¾, ff. 411 (27), of the whole New Testament, once Bessarion’s, who had it with him at the Council of Florence, 1439. There are numerous minute marginal notes in vermilion, obviously _primâ manu_. In its delicate style of writing this copy greatly resembles Cod. 1 (facsimile No. 23). Κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), also the modern chapters in the margin. _Prol._ to Epistles, _lect._, but not much in the Gospels, before each of which stands a blank leaf, as if for _pict._ A good collation of Codd. 205 and 209 is needed; Birch did little, Engelbreth gave him some readings, and Fleck has published part of a collation by Heimbach. Rinck collated Apoc. i-iii. In the Gospels they are very like Codd. B, 1. The Apocalypse is in a later hand, somewhat resembling that of Cod. 205, and has _prol._ For the unusual order of the books, _see_ above, p. 72.

210. Ven. Mark 27 [xi or xii], a noble fol., 14 × 11-7/8, ff. 372, with a catena (Victor’s commentary on St. Mark). _Mut._ Matt. i. 1-ii. 18, from the same cause as in Cod. 207. Rich blue and gold illuminations, and pictures of SS. Mark and Luke. Τίτλ., κεφ., _pict._

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 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._

220. Vind. Caes. Ness. 337, formerly 33 [xiv], 12mo, 3-7/8 × 2-5/8, ff. 303 (22), in very small letters, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._

221. Vind. Caes. Ness. 117, formerly 38 [x or xi], 11 × 7-5/8, ff. 251 (41-43), with commentaries (Chrysostom on Matt., John; Victor on Mark, Titus of Bostra on Luke), to which the _fragments_ of text here given are accommodated.

222. Vind. Caes. Ness. 180, formerly 39 [xiv], 8-½ × 6, ff. 346 (32), on cotton paper, _mut._ Contains _fragments_ of the Gospels, with a commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark). This and the last were brought from Constantinople by De Busbeck.

223. Vind. Caes. 301, formerly 40 [xiv, Greg. x], 7 × 5-½, ff. 115 (32), contains fragments of SS. Matthew, Luke, and John, with a catena. Codd. 221-3 must be cited cautiously: Alter appears to have made no systematic use of them.

224. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 97, formerly Kollar. 8 [xii], 5-½ × 4-5/8, ff. 97 (19), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, only contains St. Matthew. This copy came from Naples.

225. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 102, formerly Kollar. 9 [dated ϛψ´ or A.D. 1192], 5-3/8 × 3-7/8, ff. 171 (29), _pict._, _lect._, ἀγαγν., _syn._, _men._

Codd. 226-233 are in the Escurial, described by D. G. Moldenhawer, who collated them about 1783, loosely enough, for Birch’s edition. In 1870 the Librarian, José Fernandez Montana (in order to correct Haenel’s errors) sent to Mr. Wm. Kelly, who obligingly communicated it to me, a complete catalogue of the four copies of the Greek Bible, and of nineteen of the New Testament “neither more or less,” then at the Escurial, with their present class-marks. I do not recognize, either in his list or in that subjoined, the “Codex Aureus containing the Four Gospels in letters of gold, a work of the early part of the eleventh century,” spoken of in the _Globe_ newspaper of Oct. 3, 1872, on occasion of the fire at the Escurial on Oct. 2, which however did not touch the manuscripts. Perhaps that Codex is in Latin, unless it be Evst. 40. _See_ also Emmanuel Miller, Cat. des MSS. Gr. de la Bibl. de l’Escurial, Paris, A.D. 1848.

226. (Act. 108, Paul. 228.) Cod. Escurialensis χ. iv. 17 [xi], 8vo, ff. ?, on the finest vellum, richly ornamented, in a small, round, very neat hand. _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _lect._, _pict._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._ Many corrections were made by a later hand, but the original text is valuable, and the readings sometimes unique. Fairly collated.

227. Escurial. χ. iii. 15 [xiii], 4to, ff. 158, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _pict._ A later hand, which dates from 1308, has been very busy in making corrections.

228. (Act. 109, Paul. 229.) Escurial. χ. iv. 12 [xiv, Montana xvi], 8vo, ff. ?, _chart._ Once belonged to Nicolas Nathanael of Crete, then to Andreas Damarius of Epidaurus, a calligrapher. _Eus. t._, _syn._(247)

229. Escurial. χ. iv. 21 [dated 1140], 8vo, ff. 296, written by Basil Argyropolus, a notary. _Mut._ Mark xvi. 15-20; John i. 1-11. _Pict._, _lect._; the latter by a hand of about the fourteenth century, which retraced much of the discoloured ink, and corrected in the margin (since mutilated by the binder) very many important readings of the first hand, which often resemble those of ADK. i. 72. This copy must be mislaid, as it is not in Montana’s list.

230. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ).(248) iii. 5 [dated Oct. 29, 1013, with the wrong Indiction, 11 for 12: Montana’s date is 1014, and the error is probably not his: _see_ p. 42, note 2], 4to, ff. 218, written by Luke a monk and priest, with double _syn._(249), _Carp._, κεφ. _t._, _subscr._, ῥήμ, στίχ.: _see_ p. 67, note. An interesting copy, deemed by Moldenhawer worthy of closer examination.

231. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ). iii. 6 [xii], 4to, ff. 181, _lect._, _Eus. t._, torn, κεφ. _t._, a picture “quae Marcum mentitur,” _subscr._, στίχ., _syn._, _men._ There are some marginal glosses by a later hand (which obelizes John vii. 53 _seq._), and a Latin version above parts of St. Matthew.

232. Escurial. φ (Montana ψ). iii. 7 [xiii: dated 1292, Montana], 4to, ff. 288, very elegant but otherwise a poor copy. Double _syn._, τίτλοι in the margin of SS. Matthew and Luke, but elsewhere kept apart.

233. Escurial. Υ. ii. 8 [xi ?, Montana xiii], ff. 279, like Codd. 69 and 206, is partly of parchment, partly paper, in bad condition, and once belonged to Matthew Dandolo, a Venetian noble. It has a catena, and by reason of ligatures, &c. (_see_ p. 43), is hard to read. _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Eus. t._ (apart), _vers._, ῥήμ., στίχ.

234. (Act. 57, Paul. 72.) Cod. Havniensis reg. theol. 1322, formerly 1 [dated 1278], 10 × 7-3/8, ff. 315 (35), 2 cols., one of the several copies written by Theodore (_see_ p. 43, note 1). This copy and Cod. 235 are now in the Royal Library at Copenhagen, but were bought at Venice by G. Rostgaard in 1699. The order of the books in Cod. 234 is described p. 73. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, with many corrections. (C. G. Hensler, 1784.)

235. Havniens. reg. theol. 1323, formerly 2 [dated 1314], 4to, ff. 279, _chart._, written by the ἱερομόναχος Philotheus, though very incorrectly; the text agrees much with Codd. DK. i. 33 and the Harkleian Syriac. Κεφ. _t._, _lect._; the words are often ill divided and the stops misplaced (Hensler).

236(250). London, J. Bevan Braithwaite 3 [xi], 6-½ × 4-3/8, ff. 256 (20), _7 chart._, _syn._, _men._, _Eus. t._, _Am._, κεφ., some τίτλ., some _lect._, κεφ. _t._ _Mut._ at beginning and at end after John ix. 28. Beautifully written. Bought at Athens in 1889. Collated by W. C. Braithwaite.

Codd. 237-259 are nearly all Moscow manuscripts, and were thoroughly collated by C. F. Matthaei, for his N. T., to be described in Vol. II. These Russian codices were for the most part brought from the twenty-two monasteries of Mount Athos by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nico, in the reign of Michael, son of Alexius (1645-76), and placed in the Library of the Holy Synod, at Moscow.

*237. Mosc. S. Synod 42 [x], fol., ff. 288, Matthaei’s d, from Philotheus (a monastery), _pict._, with scholia, and Victor’s commentary on St. Mark.

*238. Mosc. Syn. 48 (Mt. e) [xi], fol., ff. 355, _Eus. t._ (_mut._), κεφ. _t._, _pict._, with a catena and scholia; contains only SS. Matthew and Mark, but is of good quality. This copy formed the basis of Matthaei’s edition of Victor’s commentary on St. Mark, 1775 (Burgon).

*239. Mosc. Syn. 47 (Mt. g) [xi], fol., ff. 277, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._ (Luke, John), contains Mark xvi. 2-8; Luke; John to xxi. 23, with scholia.

*240. Mosc. Syn. 49 (Mt. i) [xii], fol., ff. 410, κεφ. _t._, once belonging to Philotheus, then to Dionysius (monasteries) on Athos, with the commentary of Euthymius Zigabenus. _Mut._ Mark viii. 12-34; xiv. 17-54; Luke xv. 32-xvi. 8.

*241. Mosc. (Act. 104, Paul. 120, Apoc. 47) Dresdensis Reg. A. 172 (Tregelles), once Matthaei’s (k) [xi], 4to, 8-7/8 × 6-¾, ff. 356 (31), _prol._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _syn._, _men._ (Gregory); Epp. _prol._, κεφ. _t._, the whole N. T. (p. 69, note), beautifully written, with rare readings. Bought by Alexius for fifty-two _aspri_ at the siege of Constantinople (A.D. 1453), afterwards given by Pachonius to a monastery at Athos, and thence called δοχειαρίου.

*242. Mosc. (Act. 105, Paul. 121, Apoc. 48) Syn. 380 (Mt. l) [xii], 8vo, ff. 510, the whole N. T., with Psalms, ᾠδαί, _prol._, _pict._, _Am._

243. Mosc. Cod. Typographei S. Syn. 13 (Mt. m) [xiv], fol., _chart._, ff. 224, from the Iberian monastery on Athos, contains SS. Matthew and Luke with Theophylact’s commentary.

*244. Mosc. Typograph. 1 (Mt. n) [xii], fol., ff. 274, _pict._, with Euthymius Zigabenus’ commentary.

*245. Mosc. Syn. 265, 278, formerly (Greg.) (Mt. o) [dated 1199], 4to, ff. 246, from the famous monastery of Batopedion, written by John, a priest.

*246. Mosc. Syn. 261 (Mt. p) [xiv], 4to, _chart._, ff. 189, _syn._, κεφ. _t._, with marginal various readings. _Mut._ Matt. xii. 41-xiii. 55; John xvii. 24-xviii. 20.

*247. Mosc. Syn. 373 (Mt. q) [xii], 8vo, ff. 223, _syn._, _men._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _prol._, from Philotheus.

*248. Mosc. Syn. 264 (Mt. r) [dated 1275], 4to, ff. 260 (8 _chart._ + 252), κεφ. _t._ (_chart._), _Eus._, _lect._, written by Meletius a Beraean for Cyrus Alypius, οἰκόνομος of St. George’s monastery, in the reign of Michael Palaeologus (1259-82).

*249. Mosc. Syn. 94 (Mt. s) [xi], fol., ff. 809 (more likely 309 as Greg.), from Παντοκράτωρ monastery (as Cod. 74). Contains St. John with a catena.

*250. Mosc. Syn. in a box (Mt. v) [xiii], small 8vo, ff. 225, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _Eus._, _syn._, is the cursive portion of Cod V (_see_ p. 144, and note), John vii. 39-xxi. 25. It is also Wetstein’s Cod. 87.

*251. Mosc. Tabularii Caesarei (Mt. x) [xi], 4to, ff. 270, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _pict._, _Am._, presented to a monastery in A.D. 1400.

*252. Dresd. Reg. A. 145 (Tregelles), once Matthaei’s (z) [xi], 8-5/8 × 7, ff. 123 (31), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, ἀναγν. (Greg.), with corrections and double readings (as from another copy), but _primâ manu_.

*253. Mosc. of Nicephorus Archbishop of Cherson “et Slabinii” (Slaviansk ?)(251), formerly belonged to the monastery of St. Michael at Jerusalem (Mt. 10) [xi], fol., ff. 248, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _Eus._, with scholia, Victor’s commentary on St. Mark, and rare readings, much resembling those of Cod. 259.

*254. Dresd. A. 100 (Matthaei 11) (Tregelles) [xi], 11-5/8 × 9-1/8, ff. 247 (24), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._, _pict._, from the monastery of St. Athanasius. Contains SS. Luke and John with scholia.

*255. Mosc. Syn. 139 (Mt. 12) [xiii], fol., ff. 299 _chart._ +9, once “Dionysii monachi rhetoris _et amicorum_.” Commentaries of Chrysostom and others (ἐξηγητικαὶ ἐκλογαί), with fragments of the text interspersed.

*256. Mosc. Typogr. Syn. 3 (Mt. 14) [ix ?], fol., ff. 147, scholia on SS. Mark and Luke, with portions of the text. The commentary on St. Mark is _ascribed_ to Victor, but in this copy and the preceding the scholia are but few in number (Burgon).

*257. Mosc. Syn. 120 (Mt. 15) is Evan. O, described above.

*258. Dresd. Reg. A. 123 (Tregelles), (Mt. 17) [xiii], 8-½ × 6-½, ff. 126, barbarously written; _pict._, _lect._, _syn._

*259. Mosc. Syn. 45 (Mt. a) [xi], fol., ff. 263, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._, _Am._, _Eus._, _syn._, _men._, from the Iberian monastery, with a commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark). This is one of Matthaei’s best manuscripts. His other twenty-two copies contain portions of Chrysostom, and therefore come under the head of Patristic Quotations.

Codd. 260-469 were added to the list by Scholz: the very few he professes to have collated thoroughly will be distinguished by an asterisk.

260. Paris National. Gr. 51 [xiii], 12 × 8-¾, ff. 241 (24), _prol._, _argent._, κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _pict._, once (like Cod, 309) “domini du Fresne”; correctly written.

261. Par. Nat. Gr. 52 [xiv], 11 × 8-7/8, ff. 175, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._, _lect._, ἀναγν. (_subscr._, στίχ. later), once at the monastery of the Forerunner at Constantinople. _Mut._ Luke xxiv. 39-53. Matt. i. 1-xi. 1 supplied [xiv] _chart._

*262. Par. Nat. Gr. 53 [x], 12-¾ × 9-7/8, ff. 212 (27), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., some τίτλ. (_Am._, _Eus._, _harm._ at bottom of page, except in Luke, John, where too _Am._ is later), _subscr._, with rare readings, like those of Evan. Λ and Evann. 300, 376, 428.

263. (Act. 117, Paul. 137.) Par. Nat. Gr. 61 [xiii], 8-¼ × 6-1/8 ff. 294 (28, 29), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _subscr._, στίχ. Probably from Asia Minor. It once belonged to Jo. Hurault Boistaller, as did Codd. 301, 306, 314.

264. Par. Nat. Gr. 65 [xiii], 4to, 8 × 5-3/8, ff. 287 (20), κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._, _harm._, _subscr._, στίχ., _syn._, with what have been called Coptic-like letters, but brought from the East in 1718 by Paul Lucas. The leaves are misplaced in binding, as are those of Cod. 272. At the foot of every page is a harmony like those in Codd. E, Wd. _See_ p. 58, note 2 (Burgon).
