CHAPTER X. CURSIVE MANUSCRIPTS OF THE ACTS AND CATHOLIC EPISTLES.

*1. (Evan. 1.)

2. (Paul. 2.) Basil. Univ. A. N. iv. 4 (formerly B. ix. 38) [xiii or xiv Burgon], 5-7/8 3-7/8, ff. 216 (27), with short Introductions to the books, once belonged to the Preaching Friars, then to Amerbach, a printer of Basle. Erasmus grounded on this copy, in some passages with some alterations of the MS., the text of his first edition (1516), and he calls it "exemplar mire castigatum." His binder cut off a considerable part of the margin (Hoskier). It is Mill's B. 2 (Battier, Wetstein).

3. (Evan. 3.)

4. (Paul. 4.) Basil. A. N. iv. 5 (formerly B. x. 20) [xv], 6-1/8 4-3/8, ff. 287 (18), Mill's B. 3, badly written by several hands, and full of contractions: the Pauline Epistles preceding the Catholic. Erasmus made some use of this copy and of its marginal readings (e.g. Acts viii. 37; xv. 34; xxiv. 6-8) for forming his text (Battier, Wetstein).

5. (Evan. 5.)

6. (Evan. 6.)

7. (Paul. 9.) Paris, Nat. Gr. 102 [x, Greg. xi, Omont xii], 7- 5-7/8, ff. 390 (20), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, t?t?., _pict._, seems to be Stephen's ??, although ?? is cited in error Luke v. 19; John ii. 17: it nearly resembles Cod. 5 and the Latin version. In this copy, and in Paul. H, 12, 17, 20, 137, Mr. Vansittart re-collated the beginning of the Epistle to the Hebrews.

8. (Paul. 10.) Stephen's ?a?, now missing, cited about 400 times by that editor, in 276 of which it supports the Latin versions (Mill, N. T., Proleg. -- 1171). Stephen cites ?a? (apparently in error) four times in the Gospels, once in the Apocalypse (Matt. x. 8; 10; xii. 32; John ii. 17; Apoc. xiii. 4).

9. (Paul. 11.) Cambridge, Univ. Libr. Kk. 6. 4 [xi], 6- 4-, ff. 247 (22), _lect._ _Mut._ Acts iii. 6-17; 1 Tim. iv. 12-2 Tim. iv. 3; Heb. vii.

20-xi. 10; xi. 23-end. Bp. Marsh has fully proved that this copy, which once belonged to Stephen's friend Vatablus, Professor of Hebrew at Paris, is his ???. This copy also is twice quoted by Stephen in the Gospels (Matt. xxvii. 64; John ii. 17), through mere oversight. Dr. Hort states that it is rich in detached readings in Cath. Epp., not in Acts or Paul.

10. (Paul. 12, Apoc. 2.) Par. Nat. Gr. 237, Stephen's ?e? [x], 8-1/8 6-3/8, ff. 246 (28), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, t?t?., ?ef., _subscr._, st??., neatly written, with scholia and other matter. Le Long identified this, and about five other of Stephen's manuscripts: its value in the Apocalypse is considerable (Wetstein, Scholz).

11. (Paul. 140.) Par. Nat. Gr. 103 [x, Greg. xi], 8- 6-, ff. 333(18), _prol._, with scholia. _Mut._ Acts ii. 20-31.

12. (Paul. 16, Apoc. 4.) Par. Nat. Gr. 219 [xi], 12-3/8 9-1/8, ff. 313 (40), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, ?ef., t?t?., _syn._, _men._, neat, with Arethas'

commentary on the Apocalypse, and cumenius' on the other books. Like Evann. 16, 19, 317, it once belonged to the Medici: in 1518 it was given by the Greek Janus Lascar to "Petro Masieli" of Constance, and was used by Donatus of Verona for an edition of cumenius (Wetstein, Scholz).

*13. (Evan. 33.)

14. (Evan. 35.)

15. Par. Nat. Coislin. 25 [xi], 12-3/8 9-, ff. 254 (36), _prol._, ?ef.

_t._, ?ef., t?t?., _subscr._, st??., described by Montfaucon (as were also Act. 16-18), compared with Pamphilus' revision, _prol._, and a commentary digested by Andreas, a priest (Wetstein).

16. (Paul. 19.) Par. Nat. Coisl. 26 [xi, Greg. x], 11-5/8 9, ff. 381 (40), _prol._, with a commentary much like that of cumenius, and a catena of various Fathers: also a life of St. Longinus on two leaves [ix]. It once belonged to the monastery of St. Athanasius on Athos, ????? t??

tet??t?? ??se?? (Wetstein).

17. (Paul. 21, Apoc. 19.) Par. Nat. Coisl. 205 [written by Anthony, a monk, A.D. 1079, Indict. 2], 9-7/8 7, ff. 270 (27), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, ?ef., t?t?., _lect._, _subscr._, st??., _syn._ _Mut._ 1 Cor. xvi. 17-2 Cor. i. 7; Heb. xiii. 15-25; with Apoc. i. 1-ii. 5 in a recent hand (Wetstein).

18. (Paul. 22, Apoc. 18.) Par. Nat. Coisl. 202, 2, ff. 1-26 [xi] on vellum, the rest [xiii] on cotton paper, 9-5/8 7-1/8, ff. 302 (22), with scholia to the Acts and Catholic Epistles, Andreas' commentary to the Apocalypse, _prol._ to St. Paul's Epistles (Wetstein).

19. (Evan. 38.)

20. (Paul. 25.) Brit. Mus. Royal MS. I. B. I, once Westminster 935 [xiv], 10 7-, ff. 144 (22), _chart._, _Euthal._, _prol._ in Cath. and Paul.

_Mut._ and in bad condition, almost illegible in parts (Wetstein). The Pauline Epistles precede the Acts and Catholic Epistles. Casley notices one leaf lost in the Hebrews (after ?? ????? ??? p??? ch. xii. 7).

21. (Paul. 26.) Cambridge, Univ. Libr. Dd. xi. 90 [xiii], 6- 5-, ff.

159 (24), _prol._, _lect._, st??. _Mut._ Acts i-xii. 2; xiv. 22-xv. 10; Rom. xv. 14-16; 24-26; xvi. 4-20; 1 Cor. i. 15-iii. 12; 2 Tim. i. 1-ii. 4; Tit. i. 9-ii. 15; Philem. ii-end of Hebrews. _Prol._ to Pauline Epistles only, copy is Mill's _Lu_., but he forgot to name it in his Prolegomena.

It was re-discovered and collated by Wetstein, and is probably Bentley's Q (Ellis, Bentleii Critica Sacra, p. xxix). John Berriman, in the manuscript notes to his own copy of his "Critical Dissertation on 1 Tim. iii. 16"

(1741), which he presented to the British Museum in 1761, tells us that this codex [then Cant. 495] was identified "by several collations of many texts by different hands (Professor Francklin and others), and by other circumstances" to have been Professor Luke's (MS. note on p. 104).

22. (Paul. 75 in the same hand.) Brit. Mus. Add. 5115 and 5116, once Dr.

Mead's (Berriman), then Askew's [xii], 7-5/8 5-, ff. 127 + 174 (22), ?ef. _t._, ?ef., _prol._, _syn._, _lect._ (later). _Mut._ Acts i. 1-11: (Acts i-xx collated by Paulus for Griesbach: Bloomfield): Scholz's date [ix] is an error.

23. (Paul. 28, Apoc. 6.) Oxf. Bodl. Barocc. 3 [xi], 5 4, ff. 297 (21), _prol._ (Euth.), ?ef. _t._, a beautiful little book, written at Ephesus, beginning Acts xi. 13, ending Apoc. xx. 1: the opening chapters are supplied in a late hand. Tregelles calls this "a very obscure manuscript."

With scholia on the Epistles, and a full and unique commentary on the Apocalypse, edited by J. A. Cramer, 1840 (Mill, Caspar Wetstein, Griesbach). This copy is Bentley's ? in Trin. Coll. B. xvii. 5 (_see_ Evan. 51). _Mut._ Acts iii. 10-xi. 13; xiv. 6-xvii. 19; xx. 28-xxiv. 12; 1 Pet. ii. 2-16; iii. 7-21; 2 Cor. ix. 15-xi. 9; Gal. i. 1-18; Eph. vi.

1-19; Phil. iv. 18-23; Rev. i. 10-17; ix. 12-18; xvii. 10-xviii. 8, and in other places.

*24. (Paul. 29.) Camb. Christ's Coll. F. 1. 13 [xii], 8-1/8 6, ff. 303 (22). _Mut._ Acts i. 1-11; xviii. 20-xx. 14; James v. 14-1 Pet. i. 4, and some leaves of this fine copy are torn or decayed: there are also many changes by a later hand (Mill's Cant. 2, Scrivener's 1): unpublished collations were made by Bentley (Trin. Coll. Camb. B. xvii. 10, 11), and by Jo. Wigley for Jackson (Jesus Coll. Camb. O. T. 1).

25. (Paul. 31, Apoc. 7.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5537 [Pentecost, A.D. 1087, Indict. 10], 4- 3-, ff. 286 (23), (with a lexicon, _chart._), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, ?ef., some _lect._, _subscr._, st??., an important copy, from the neighbourhood of the Aegean. _Mut._ 1 John v. 14-2 John 6 (Mill, Griesbach, Bloomfield, Scrivener's 1 in Apoc.)(268).

26. (Paul. 32.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5557 [xii], 7 6, ff. 293 (22), _syn._, _men._ (_prol._, ?ef. _t._ Paul.), _lect._, some _subscr._ and st??.

_Mut._ Acts i. 1-11; 1 Cor. xi. 7-xv. 56. This copy and the next bear Covell's emblem "_Luceo,_" and the date Constantinople, 1675, but he got Act. 27 from Adrianople. (Mill, Paulus in Acts i-iii Bloomfield.)

27. (Paul. 33.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5620 [xv], 8- 6, ff. 134 (22), _chart._, is of some weight: there are no chapter-divisions _prima manu_; the writing is small and abbreviated (Mill, Griesbach, Bloomfield).

28. (Paul. 34, Apoc. 8.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5778, is Covell's 5 or Sinai manuscript(269) [xii], 8- 6-, ff. 156 (30), ?ef., t?t?., _lect._, _subscr._, st??., in wretched condition, and often illegible. _Mut._ Acts i. 1-20; Apoc. vi. 14-viii. 1; xxii. 19-21, perhaps elsewhere (Mill, Bloomfield for Act., Paul., Scrivener's d for Apoc.).

29. (Paul. 35.) Geneva, Libr. 20 [xi or xii], 5-3/8 4, ff. 269 (18), brought from Greece, beautifully but carelessly written, without subscriptions; in text much like Act. 27 (readings sent to Mill, Scholz).

30. (Paul. 36, Apoc. 9.) Oxf. Bodleian Misc. Gr. 74 [xi], 10- 7, ff.

333 (24), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, some ?ef., _subscr._, st??., brought from the East by Bp. Huntington, beginning Acts xv. 19, but 3 John, Jude, the Apocalypse, and St. Paul's Epistles (which stand last) are in a somewhat earlier hand than the rest. (Mill's Hunt. 1.)

*31. (Evan. 69.)

32. (Evan. 51.)

33. (Paul. 39.) Oxf. Lincoln Coll. Gr. 15 B. 82 [xii], 7-5/8 6, ff. 206 (27), _prol._, _pict._, _lect._, some t?t?., st??., _syn._, _men._, presented in 1483 by Robert Flemmyng, Dean of Lincoln, a beautiful and interesting codex, with _pict._, _prol._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, and the numbers of the st???? noted in the subscriptions. _Mut._ 2 Pet. i. 1-15; Rom. i. 1-20 (Walton's Polyglott, Mill, Dobbin "Cod. Montfort.," who regards it as the manuscript from which this portion of the latter was mainly copied). The Epistle of Jude stands between James and 1 Peter.

Vansittart notes its affinity in text with Act. 13.

*34. (Evan. 61.)

35. (Evan. 57.)

36. Oxf. New College, 36 (58) [xii, end], 10 7-, ff. 245 (39), _prol._, ?ef., t?t?., valuable text, with a catena of Fathers, enumerated by Mill (N. T., Proleg. -- 1390), and edited by Cramer, Oxford, 1838 (Walton's Polyglott, Mill).

37. (Paul. 43.) Oxf. New Coll. 37 (59) [xiii], 9- 6-5/8, ff. 298 (20), _prol._, ?ef. _t._, t?t?., perhaps a little later than Cod. 36, erroneously described by Walton, and after him by Wetstein, as part of Evan. 58, a much later manuscript. Heb. xiii. 21-25 is supplied in a recent hand. It is a beautiful copy, with marginal glosses (Walton's Polyglott, Mill, Dobbin).
