(1) Manuscripts of the Gospels. (continued 2)

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 [pg 223] 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).

236250. 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 [pg 224] 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.

[pg 225]

*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.

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).

Of these copies, 265-270, Burgon states that the grand 4to Cod. 265 seems to contain an important text, 270 a peculiar text, though less beautiful externally than 266, 267, 269. Cod. 268 in double columns has Eus. t. very superb, but pict. of Evangelists only sketched in ink. Cod. 269, once belonging to Henry IV (in which the last leaf of St. Luke is missing), is in its ancient binding, and is full of very uncommon representations of Gospel incidents.

[pg 226]

265. Par. Nat. Gr. 66 [x], 9-7/8 × 7-½, ff. 372, κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus., once belonged to Philibert de la Mare.

Gr. 79 [x], 9-3/8 × 6-½, ff. 232 (26), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., once belonged to Maximus Panagiotes, protocanon of the Church at Callipolis (there were many places of this name: but see Evan. 346). Mut. (but supplied in a later hand) Mark i. 1-17; vi. 21-54; John i. 1-20; iii. 18-iv. 1; vii. 23-42; ix. 10-27; xviii. 12-29. Dean Burgon had a photograph of this manuscript, which he regarded as a specimen of the transition period between uncial and cursive writing. The subscription, resembling that of Cod. L, set in the margin of Cod. 274, he judges to look as old as that of L: see Chapter IX, Mark xvi. 9-20.

Contains catena, “πάρεργα de locis selectis,” and in the outer margin commentaries in a later hand, Chrysostom's on St. Matthew, Victor's or Cyril's of Alexandria on St. Mark (Evann. 20, 300 mention both names), and that of Titus of Bostra on St. Luke. See Evan. 428, and especially Evan. 215. Collated by Scholz and W. F. Rose.

421. (Act. 176, Paul. 218.) Syracusanus (Schulz's 238) [xii] ?, once Landolini's; prol., Eus. t. Dr. Gregory could not find it.

422. Monacensis Reg. 210, at Munich [xi or later], 9-¼ × 6-½, ff. 256 (28), 2 cols., Carp., prol., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus. (partially), lect. (later), subscr., στίχ., syn., men., roughly written in two columns by the monk Joseph, but St. John in a somewhat more recent hand; described by Ignatius Hardt and Dean Burgon. It abounds with itacisms and strange blunders, and other tokens of great ignorance on the part of the scribe.

423. Mon. Reg. 36 [1556], chart., 13-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 465 (30), contains St. Matthew with Nicetas' catena. Marked. Τόμος A and superbly bound, as in Cod. 432. The same scribe wrote Codd. 424, 425, 432 (Burgon).

424. Mon. Reg. 83 [xvi], chart., 13-3/8 × 8-¾, ff. 399, contains St. Luke with the commentary of Titus of Bostra and others.

425. Mon. Reg. 37 [xvi], chart., 13-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 576 (30), second volume of 423, contains St. John with a very full catena of Nicetas. Marked Τόμος B.

427. Mon. Reg. 465, Augsburg 10 [xii or xiii], 10-1/8 × 8-1/8, ff. 140 (34), Am., lect. (ῥήμ., στίχ. Luke), written by one Maurus, contains SS. Luke and Mark with Theophylact's (and Victor's ?) commentary.

429. Mon. Reg. 208 [xii or xiii], a superb 4to, 10-7/8 × 9-1/8, ff. 234 (35), [pg 238] 2 cols., written by John, a priest and “ἔκδικος magnae ecclesiae,” contains Luke i. 1-ii. 39 with a catena, questions and answers from SS. Matthew and John, with the text. Burgon declares that the date June 20, a.d. 978, Indiction 6, which we took from Scholz (see above, p. 41, note 2), is that of the manuscript this was copied from, not of Cod. 429 itself. In that case we have another early dated cursive the less. Gregory, Prolegomena, p. 449, inclines to the placing of this MS. amongst the uncials.

430. Mon. Reg. 437 [xi], 11-5/8 × 8-5/8, ff. 354 (24), contains John i-viii with the catena of Nicetas, metropolitan of Heraclia Serrarum in Macedonia, now Xevosna. Martin Crusius of Tübingen procured it from Leontius, a Cyprian monk, in 1590, and sent it to the Library at Augsburg.

431. (Act. 180, Paul. 238.) Molsheimensis [xii], Eus. t., prol. with many unusual readings, was brought to Strasburg from the Jesuits' College at Molsheim in Alsace. Extracts were made from it by the Jesuit Hermann Goldhagen (N. T. Mogunt. 1753), and it was collated by Arendt, 1833. “Periit a. 1870,” Gregory.

432. Mon. Reg. 99 [xvi], chart., 13-½ × 8-7/8 ff. 572 (30), contains St. Mark with the commentary of Victor of Antioch, being the same copy as Peltanus used for his Latin edition of that work, Ingolstad, 1580.

433. Berolinensis Reg. MS. 4to, 12 (kn) (Schulz's 239) [xi or xii], 8 × 5-¾, ff. 80 (24), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., brought from the East by W. Ern. de Knobelsdorf, with a mixed text and many errors in very minute letters. It contains Matt. i. 1-21; vi. 12-32; xxii. 25-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 1-v. 29; ix. 21-xiii. 12; Luke viii. 27-John ix. 21; xx. 15-xxi. 25. (G. T. Pappelbaum, 1824.)

434. Vindobon. Caes. 71, formerly 42 [xiv], 11-¾ × 7-¾, ff. 424 (29), contains St. Luke with a catena. Like Codd. 218, &c., bought at Constantinople by De Busbeck.

435. Lugd.-Bat. Bibl. Univ. Gronovii 137 (Schulz's 245) [x], 8-5/8 × 6-1/8, ff. 284 (24), pict. Mut. Matt. i. 20-ii. 13; xxii. 4-9 (John x. 14-xxi. 25 in a rather later hand). It has a somewhat unusual text (collated, as was also Evan. 122, by J. Dermout, Collectanea Critica in N. T., 1825).

436. Meerman. 117 [a.d. 1322], ff. 277. Dr. Gregory has traced this MS. to No. 54 in the library of the Jesuit College at Clermont, then to Meerman, then to Payne a London bookseller, who bought it in 1824. It is not known now. For the MS. once in Dean Burgon's possession but in the Bodleian Library, see Evan. 562.

437. Petropol. Caes. [xi], like Cod. E of the Pauline Epistles, one leaf of the Colbert Pentateuch, and some other manuscripts, has found its way from the Coislin library and the Abbey of St. Germain des Prés near Paris, to St. Petersburg. It was written by Michael Cerularius, Patriarch of Constantinople, and noticed by Matthaei (N. T. iii. p. 99, 2nd ed.). Not in Muralt's List.

[pg 239]

438. Brit Mus. Addit. 5111, 5112 (Askew 621) [a.d. 1189], 10 × 7, ff. 211 and 241 (18), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (no subscr.). It was written by Gregory a monk, and is in two volumes, containing severally Matt. and Mark, Luke and John.

439. Brit. Mus. Addit. 5107 (Askew 622) [dated April, 1159, Ind. 7], 12-¼ × 9-½, ff. 219 (23), 2 cols., written by the monk Nepho, at Athos, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., τίτλ., κεφ., Am., Eus. (Bloomfield).

440. (Act. 111, Paul. 221.) Camb. Univ. Libr. Mm. vi. 9 [xii], 7 × 5-½, ff. 288 (28), Eus. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., syn. (later); prol. (Cath. and Paul.), subscr. (Paul.). From this copy Griesbach's readings in Cod. 236 were derived. Described below under Scrivener's v before Evan. 507.

441, 442, at Cambridge, must be removed from Scholz's list; they are printed editions with manuscript notes. Cod. 441 is Act. 110, Paul. 222; Cod. 442 is Act. 152, Paul. 223.

443. Camb. Univ. Libr. Nn. ii. 36, once Askew 624 [xii], 11 × 8-¼, ff. 235 (24), 2 cols, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., Am., Eus., some lect. (later), syn., men., prol. The κεφάλαια proper are subdivided in this copy, e.g. the 19th of St. Matthew, into no less than thirteen parts (see p. 64, note 2). For the titles of the Gospels, see Evan. 69. Evan. 443 was bought for the University Library in 1775 for £20, at the celebrated book-sale of Anthony Askew [1722-74], the learned physician who projected an edition of Aeschylus. See Marsh on Michaelis, vol. ii. pp. 661-2.

444. (Act. 153, Paul. 240.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5796 [xv], 10-¼ × 7-½, ff. 324 (26-29), κεφ. t., τίτλ., lect., ἀναγν., subscr., στίχ., syn., men., neatly written, sold in 1537 “aspris 500:254” bought at Smyrna in 1722 by Bernard Mould.

445. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5736 [a.d. 1506], chart., 8-¼ × 6, ff. 194 (24), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., in the hand “Antonii cujusdam eparchi,” once (like Apoc. 31) in the Jesuits' College, Agen, on the Garonne.

446. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5777 [xv], 9 × 6, ff. 228 or 231 (25), κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., κεφ. t. (not Matt.), subscr. (Luke), syn., men. Mut. Matt. i. 1-17; Mark i. 7-9; Luke i. 1-18; John i. 1-22, by a person who mischievously cut out the ornaments. It is clearly but unskilfully written, and Covell states on the outer leaf that it seems a copy from his manuscript, noted above as Evan. 65. This codex is Cov. 5 (Bloomfield).

447. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5784 [xv], 7-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 329 (21), Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., orn., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., subscr., στίχ., prol. (Paul.); well written, and much like

448. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5790 [dated Rome, April 25, 1478], 12-¼ × 8-½, ff. 299 (22), κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ. in margin, subscr., beautifully written by John Rhesus of Crete a priest for Francis Gonzaga Cardinal of S. Maria Nuova: belonged to Giovanni Pietro Arrivabene.

449. Brit. Mus. Addit. 4950-1 [xiii], 5 × 3-½, 2 vols., ff. 146 and 171, [pg 240] (23), prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., men., syn., clearly and carefully written; once Caesar de Missy's (see Evan. 44).

Out of this whole mass of 190 manuscripts, Scholz collated five entire (262, 299, 300, 301, 346), eleven in the greater part (260, 270, 271, 277, 284, 285, 298, 324, 353, 382, 428), many in a few places, and not a few seem to have been left by him untouched. His list of Oriental manuscripts (Evann. 450-469), as it is given in the first volume of his Greek Testament (Proleg. pp. xcvi-xcvii)255, has been withdrawn from the catalogue of cursive copies of the Gospels, in deference to the wish of the Dean of Chichester (Letter iii addressed to myself in the Guardian newspaper, July 5, 1882). It must be confessed indeed that Scholz's account of what he had seen in the East about 1823 cannot be easily reconciled with the description of the Rev. H. O. Coxe of the Bodleian Library thirty-five years later (“Report to Her Majesty's Government of the Greek Manuscripts yet remaining in the Libraries of the Levant, 1858”); that most of the books which Scholz catalogued at St. Saba on the Dead Sea were removed before 1875, as Mr. F. W. Pennefather informs us, to the Great Greek Convent of the Cross at Jerusalem; and that at least four of them were brought to Parham in Sussex from St. Saba in 1834 by the late Lord de la Zouche. Instead of Scholz's seven (450-6), Coxe saw fourteen copies of the Gospels at Jerusalem; twenty of the Gospels (besides a noble palimpsest of the Orestes and Phoenissae) at St. Saba after the four had been subtracted, instead of Scholz's ten (457-466); at Patmos five instead of Scholz's three (467-469). In spite of one's respect for the memory of that zealous and worthy labourer, M. A. Scholz, with whom I had a personal conference regarding our common studies in 1845, I cannot help acquiescing in Dean Burgon's decision, though not, perhaps, without some natural reluctance.
