passage 53 of 347 · Chapter I. Ancient Versions. > book. Order of books in the New Test., Ev., Act., Cath., Paul., (4/11)

containing from the Proverbs to the Apocalypse, in a Visigothic hand; the ornaments somewhat resembling those of the Codex Cavensis. It formerly belonged to Cardinal Ximenes: see Berger, p. 15.

Millan de la Cogolla), between Burgos and Logroño. Order of books in New Test.: Ev., Act., Paul., Cath., Apoc. (fragmentary). The handwriting resembles Cavensis, though it is slightly larger, and the text also belongs to the Spanish group. Examined by Bp. Wordsworth in 1882; see Berger, p. 16.

g. Switzerland: Berne.

  1. University Library, A. 9. Bible [xi], originally belonging to Vienne in Dauphiné. Contains an interesting text in Cath. Epp. and Acts, where it seems to be much under Theodulfian influence or that of the texts belonging to the South of France; the corrections too are interesting. See Berger, p. 62 f.

Einsiedeln.

  1. Einsiedeln Library, no. 1. Bible [early x], possibly copied at Einsiedeln; corrected in accordance with a text like that of St. Gall 75. See Berger, p. 132.

  2. Einsiedeln Library, nos. 5-7. Bible [x], also corrected and bearing strong resemblance to the one above; same order of books as in 31.

St. Gall.

  1. Stiftsbibliothek, no. 11 [viii]. A collection of extracts composed for the use of the monks; written by the monk Winithar. Vulgate text but with a mixture of Old Latin readings. See Berger, p. 121 f.

B. NEW TESTAMENTS.

a. British Isles: Dublin.

  1. Trin. Coll. The Book of Armagh. New Test. [ix], written by Ferdomnach in a beautiful and small Irish hand. Order of books: Evv., Paul. (Laod. after Col.), Cath., Apoc., Acts. The New Test. was transcribed for Bp. Wordsworth by the Rev. G. M. Youngman; the late Dr. Reeves, Bp. of Down, intended to edit it, and his work is now (1893) being prepared for the press by Professors Gwynn and Bernard, of Dublin. See also “National MSS. of Ireland,” i. pp. xiv-xvii, plates xxv-xxix; Berger, p. 31 f. Wordsworth’s D.

b. France: Paris.

  1. B. N. Lat. 250, formerly Reg. 3572; from Saint-Denis. New Test. [ix], folio, minuscule: Evv., Act., Cath., Paul. (Laod. after Col., which in turn is after Thess.), Apoc. Walker’s λ; he collated Cath. and Apoc. Alcuinian text, see Berger, p. 243.

  2. Lat. 254. New Test. [xii]; has been described above as c (p. 45). Text is Old Latin in the Gospels, Vulgate in the rest of the New Test. See Berger, p. 74.

  3. Lat. 321, formerly belonging to Baluze. New Testament [early xiii], written in the South of France, probably between Carcassonne and Narbonne. Very interesting text; in the Epistles and Acts there are a large number of Old Latin readings; the text of the Acts is especially mixed; orthography incorrect. Berger, p. 77.

  4. Lat. 342, formerly Colbert 6155. New Testament [early xiii], written in the South of France; contains large mixture of Old Latin readings throughout; examined by Berger.

c. Germany: Fulda.

  1. Abbey of Fulda in Prussia. The well-known Codex Fuldensis [vi] of the New Testament, written for Bishop Victor of Capua, and corrected by him A.D. 541-546. The Gospels are arranged in one narrative, based on the order of Tatian’s Diatessaron, but with a Vulgate text; the Ep. to the Laodiceans follows that to the Colossians. Described by Schannat in 1723 (Vindemiae Literariae Collectio, pp. 218-21), collated by Lachmann and Ph. Buttmann in 1839, and edited in full by E. Ranke (Marburg, 1868); see also Th.
