One of the finest examples of the Alcuinian recension, and a
typical specimen of the second period of Caroline writing and
ornamentation. Written in the monastery of St. Martin at Tours.
Apocalypse wanting. _See_ Leitschuh, Führer durch d. kgl. Bibl. zu
Bamberg, 1889, p. 82. Wordsworth’s B2 in Acts &c.; collated by the
Rev. H. J. White.
_Metz._
26. Public Library, no. 7. Second half of Bible [early ix],
minuscule. Mixed text, with Languedocian and Irish
characteristics. _See_ Berger, p. 100.
_Würzburg_(92).
27. Mp. th. fol. max. 1. Bible [xi], 403 leaves, large folio,
formerly belonging to the Cathedral Library. Contains the whole
Bible except Pauline Epp. and Book of Baruch, which, together with
the Epistle to the Laodiceans, have been abstracted.
e. _Italy: La Cava._
28. Corpo di Cava (near Salerno); Benedictine Abbey. The
well-known “Codex Cavensis” of the whole Bible [prob. ix], written
in Spain, probably in Castile or Leon, in small, round Visigothic
minuscules, by a scribe Danila; a copy was made by the Abbate de
Rossi early in this century, and is now in the Vatican (Lat.
8484). A good representative of the Spanish type of text, and
closely resembling the Codex Toletanus (no. 41). _See_ Dom
Bernardo Gaetani de Aragona, Cod. diplomat. Cavensis, vol. i,
Naples, 1873; Silvestre, Pal. univ., iii; L. Ziegler, Sitzungsber.

1876, p. 655 f.; Pertz, Archiv, v. p. 542. Collated by Bishop
Wordsworth. Tischendorf’s _cav._, Wordsworth’s C.
_Florence._
29. Laurentian Library. The far-famed Codex Amiatinus of the whole
Bible [end of vii or beginning of viii], 1029 leaves, large folio.
Till lately it was supposed to have been written by a sixth
century scribe in Italy; but now, principally through the
acuteness of G. B. de Rossi and the late Professor Hort, it has
been proved that it was written by the order of the abbot Ceolfrid
either at Wearmouth or Jarrow, and sent by him as a present to the
Pope at Rome in 715 A.D. Afterwards placed in the Monastic Library
at Monte Amiata, whence it was again sent to Rome for collation at
the time of the Sixtine revision (_see_ p. 64). The New Testament
was badly edited by F. F. Fleck, 1840; carefully, though not
without a few slips, by Tischendorf in 1850 (second ed. with some
emendations 1854); and by Tregelles in his Greek New Test. 1857.
Facsimiles in Zangemeister and Wattenb., Exempla codd. lat., pl.

_am._, Wordsworth’s A.
_Milan._
30. Ambrosian Library, E. 26 _inf._ Part of a Bible [ix or x],
commencing with Chron. and finishing with Pauline Epp. Probably
written at Bobbio. Mixed text, especially interesting in St.
Paul’s Epp.; does not contain the last three verses of Romans;
_see_ Berger, p. 138.
31. E. 53 _inf._ Bible [ix or x], much mutilated; 169 leaves,
containing the sacred books in the following order: Octateuch,
Jerem., Acts, Cath., Apoc., Kings, Solomon, Job, Tobit, Judith,
Esther, Esdras, Maccabees, Ezek., Dan., minor prophets, Isa.,
Pauline Epp.; i.e. the order in which they are read in
ecclesiastical lessons during the year. Formerly at Biasca, a
village in the valley of Tessin on the St. Gothard. Vulgate text,
but mixed with Old Latin elements; interesting as containing not
only the Ep. to the Laodiceans but also the apocryphal
correspondence between St. Paul and the Corinthians (cp. the Laon
MS., no. 161). _See_ Carrière and Berger, La correspondance apocr.
de St. Paul et des Corinthiens, Paris, 1891.
_Monte Cassino._
32. Monastery of Monte Cassino: codd. 552 and 557 are mentioned by
Corssen (Ep. ad Galatas, Berlin, 1885, p. 15) as worthy of note:
552 Bible [xi], 557 Bible [xii-xiii], but both containing an
ancient text. Order of books in both is Ev., Act., Cath., Apoc.,
Paul. (Ev. lacking in 552). _See_ also “Bibliotheca Casinensis,”
ii. pp. 313-352.
_Monza._
33. Collegiate Archives, G. 1. Bible [ix], written at Tours by the
scribe Amalricus, who was Archbishop of Tours: specimen of the
Alcuinian recension and resembling in text and in outward
appearance and writing the Parisian Bible, B. N. Lat. 3 (no. 11
above). _See_ Corssen, Epist. ad Galatas, p. 10; Berger, p. 221.
_Rome._
34. Vat. Lat. 5729, Codex Farfensis. Bible [xi], in one enormous
volume; in good preservation, written in three columns. _See_
Vercellone, Var. Lect., ii. p. xvii, and Le Long, i. p. 235; the
latter wrongly cites it as 6729.
35. Bible of S. Maria ad Martyres (La Rotonda, Pantheon). Bible
[x], large folio. The books in the New Test. are in the following
order: Ev., Act., Cath., Apoc., Paul.; used by Vercellone.
36. The splendid Bible [ix] preserved in the Library of “S. Paul
without the walls;” belonged to Charles the Bald, and preserves an
Alcuinian text, strongly resembling V. _See_ Vercellone, Var.
Lect., i. p. lxxxv; Le Long, i. p. 237; Berger, p. 292.
37. Vallicellian Library, B. vi. Bible [ix], 347 leaves, large
4to, Caroline minuscules. The Church of Sta. Maria in Vallicella
belongs to the Oratorian Fathers, and Bianchini himself was an
Oratorian; he refers to this MS. in the “Evang. Quadr.,” ii. pl.
viii. p. 600, and it is probably the best extant specimen of the
Alcuinian revision. Bp. Wordsworth collated it, and cites it as V;
_see_ also Berger, p. 197.
f. _Spain: Leon._
38. Cathedral Library, 15. Fragments of Bible [vii], palimpsest;
40 leaves, semi-uncial, under some writing in a Visigothic hand of
the tenth century. Contains in New Test. portions of Acts, 2 Cor.,
Col., and 1 John. Vulgate base but with Old Latin elements,
especially in 1 John. Discovered by Dr. Rudolf Beer, who is
proposing to publish the fragments. _See_ Berger, p. 8.
39. Cathedral Library, 6. Second volume of a Bible [x], formerly
belonging to the Convent of SS. Cosmas and Damian in the Valle de
Torio, and thought to date from the time of Ordogno II (913-923);
written by two scribes, Vimara, a presbyter, and John, a deacon;
minuscule, like Cavensis, only larger. Order of books in the New
Test. is Ev. (followed by a commentary), Act., Paul. (including
Laod.), Cath., Apoc.; examined by Bp. Wordsworth in 1882. _See_
Berger, p. 17.
40. Church of San Isidro; Codex Gothicus Legionensis. Bible [x],
folio, dated 998 of the Spanish era, i.e. 960 A.D.; minuscule of
the same type as Cavensis, only larger. Order of books in the New
Test.: Ev., Paul., Cath., Act., Apoc. Written “a notario Sanctioni
presbitero,” and was collated on behalf of the Sixtine revision of
the Vulgate for Card. Carafa, and by him called the Codex
Gothicus; this collation is preserved in the Vatican, Lat. 4859.
Examined by Bp. Wordsworth in 1882. _See_ Berger, p. 18.
_Madrid._
41. National Library. Bible [x? Berger would date it viii], in
three columns, the famous “Codex Toletanus.” According to a notice
in the MS. itself, its “auctor possessorque” (auctor = legal
owner?), Servandus of Seville, gave it to his friend John, Bishop
of Cordova, who in turn offered it in the year 988 to the see of
Seville; thence it passed in time to Toledo and ultimately to
Madrid. It is written in Visigothic characters, and presents the
Spanish type of text, strongly resembling the Cod. Cavensis (no.
28). Collated for the Sixtine revision by Chr. Palomares, whose
work, written in a Hentenian Bible of 1569, is now preserved in
the Vatican (Lat. 9508); it was not, however, used in that
revision, as it reached Cardinal Carafa too late. Bianchini
published the collation in his “Vindiciae Can. Script.,” Rome,
1740, pp. xlvii-ccxvi (= Migne, Patr. Lat., tom. xxix). Bp.
Wordsworth collated the New Testament in 1882. _See_ Berger, p.
12; Merino, Escuela Paleogr., pl. v. pp. 53-9, Madrid, 1780; Muñoz
y Rivero, Paleografia Visigoda, pl. viii, ix, Madrid, 1881; Ewald
and Loewe, Exempla Scr. Visig., pp. 7, 8, pl. ix. Tischendorf’s
_tol._; Wordsworth’s T.
42. University Library, no. 31: Codex Complutensis, i.e. of Alcalá
(= Complutum). Bible [ix or x]; in the New Test. Laod. follow
Hebrews. Plainly a Spanish text, but with peculiar readings in the
Epistles, and especially in the Acts. Purchased at Toledo by
Cardinal Ximenes; described by Berger, p. 22, and Westcott,
Vulgate, p. 1705.
43. University Library, no. 32. Second volume of a Bible [ix-x],
folio, 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.
44. Royal Academy of History (Calle del Leon 21), No. F. 186. The
second volume of a Bible [x], small folio, written by the monk
Quisius. It formerly belonged to the Abbey of St. Emilianus (S.
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._
45. 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._
46. 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.
47. 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._
48. 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.
49. Stiftsbibliothek, no. 75. [ix], large folio; contains complete
Bible; corrected by the abbot Hartmotus. _See_ Berger, p. 129.
_Present position unknown._
50. Bible [xiii, but copied from an early exemplar], edited by
Matthaei (N. T.) in the Act., Epp., Apoc.; _see_ his preface to
Cath. Epp., p. xxx f.; belonged to Paul Demidov. Formerly at
Lyons; Tischendorf’s _demid._

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.

New Test. _See_ Berger, p. 74.
54. 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.
55. 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.

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

in Acts and Apoc., Vulgate in the New Testament; described above,
p. 51.
C. GOSPELS.
a. _Austria: Vienna._
58. _theo_ or _theotisc_ refers to the Latin version of the
“Fragmenta Theotisca versionis ant. Evang. S. Matthaei ...
ediderunt Steph. Endlicher et Hoffmann Fallerslebensis;
Vindobonae, 1834” (2nd edit. cura T. F. Massmann; Viennae, 1841);
15 leaves [viii], containing St. Matt. viii. 33 to the end of the
Gospel, but much mutilated; the _recto_ side of each leaf contains
the Theotisc or Old German version, mixed with Gothic, the _verso_
contains the Latin; quoted by Tischendorf in Matt. xx. 28, where
it has the common Latin addition. _See_ also J. A. Schmeller,
Ammonii Alexandrini Harmonia Evangeliorum, Vienna, 1841.

60. Reg. I. B. vii. Gospels [viii], 155 leaves, written in

carefully, says the text is very interesting, though rather mixed;
has been corrected throughout. Bentley’s H in Trin. Coll. Cam. B.
17. 14. _See_ Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 19, pl. 16, and Morin,
Liber Comicus, p. 426, 1893.
61. Reg. I. D. ix. Gospels [x], a handsome 4to volume of 150
leaves, the capitals throughout written in gold, and the initial
page to each Gospel finely illuminated; contains prefatory matter
and Capitulare, but is _mut._ after John xxi. 18. Formerly
belonged to King Canute, as an Anglo-Saxon inscription on fol. 43
_b_ testifies. _See_ Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS., p. 141; Pal.
Sacra Pict., pl. 23. Bentley’s A.
62. Reg. I. E. vi. Gospels [end of viii], imperfect; 77 leaves,
half uncial characters, written in England; formerly belonging to
St. Augustine’s, Canterbury, and in all probability the second
volume of the famous “Biblia Gregoriana” mentioned by Elmham.
_See_ Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS., pl. 14, 15; British Museum
Catalogue, p. 20, pl. 17, 18; Palaeogr. Soc, i. pl. 7; Berger, p.
35. Bentley’s P.
63. Cotton Tib. A. ii [early x], written in Germany; Gospels, 216
leaves, written in Caroline minuscules, once the property of King
Athelstan; _see_ British Museum Catalogue, p. 35. Bentley’s E.
64. Cotton Nero D. iv. The magnificent Lindisfarne Gospels [vii or
viii], rivalling even the Book of Kells (no. 78) in the beauty of
their writing and the richness of their ornamentation. Written by
Eadfrith, Bishop of Lindisfarne, 698-721 A.D., and other scribes;
preserve a very pure text, agreeing closely with the Codex
Amiatinus (no. 29), sometimes against all other known Vulgate MSS.
The Latin is accompanied by an interlinear version in the
Northumbrian dialect. Edited, rather carelessly, for the Surtees
Soc., by Stevenson and Waring, 1854-65; and W. W. Skeat, The
Gospel of St. Matthew; Anglo-Saxon and Northumbrian Versions,
Cambr., 1887; _see_ also Westwood, Anglo-Saxon and Ir. MSS., pp.

pl. 3-6, 22; Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 15, pl. 8-11; Berger, p. 39;
Morin, Liber Comicus, p. 426. The Surtees text revised by the Rev.
G. M. Youngman. Wordsworth’s and Bentley’s Y.
65. Cotton Otho B. ix. Gospels [x?], nearly destroyed by fire;
there are twelve small fragments containing portions of prefatory
matter, and of SS. Matt., Mark, and John, in small Caroline
minuscules, but with a large capital at the beginning of St. Mark
and interlaced ornamentation. Bentley’s D.
66. Cotton Otho C. v. St. Matt. and St. Mark [probably viii],
written in Saxon hand, and _possibly_ part of the same MS. as
Bentley’s C (_see_ no. 76). This Manuscript is now simply a
collection of the shrivelled fragments of sixty-four leaves which
survived the fire of 1731; the last leaf contains Mark xvi. 6-20.
_See_ Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 20; the editors, however, doubt
whether it is part of the same MS. as no. 76. Bentley cites these
fragments as φ.
67. Egerton 609. Gospels [viii or ix], formerly belonging to the
Monastery of Marmoutier (Majus Monasterium) near Tours, where it
was numbered 102. It is written, however, in an Irish hand and
presents an Irish type of text; it is much _mut._, especially in
St. Mark. _See_ Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 30. Cited by Calmet,
Tischendorf, &c., as _mm_; collated again by the Rev. G. M.
Youngman, and cited by Wordsworth as E.
68. Harl. 1775. Gospels [vi or vii], in small but very beautiful
uncial hand, and with an extremely valuable text. Formerly
numbered 4582 in the Bibliothèque Royale at Paris; stolen from
thence by Jean Aymon, it passed into the possession of Harley,
Earl of Oxford, and then to the British Museum. Collated in part
by Griesbach, Symbolae Criticae, i. pp. 305-26, Halae, 1785; by
Bentley or Walker; later by the Rev. G. Williams; and for Bp.
Wordsworth’s Vulgate by the Rev. H. J. White; for facsimiles _see_
Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 14, pl. 3; Palaeogr. Soc., i. p. 16.
Wordsworth’s and Bentley’s Z; Tischendorf’s _harl_.
69. Harl. 1802. Gospels [xii], 156 leaves, a small Irish MS., with
copious marginal notes, written by the scribe Maelbrigte; stolen
from Paris by Jean Aymon. Bentley’s W.
70. Harl. 2788. Gospels [end of viii or beginning of ix], 208
leaves folio, an extremely fine MS., written throughout in golden
uncials, except the prefatory matter, which is in minuscules; the
vellum and also the colours used in the illumination are all
wonderfully bright and fresh. _See_ Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 22,
pl. 39-41; Corssen, Ada-H. S. p. 86; Bentley’s M in Trin. Coll.
Cam. B. 17. 5.
71. Harl. 2826. Gospels [ix or x], 150 leaves, Caroline
minuscules; formerly belonging to the monastery of Eller, near
Cochem, on the Mosel; _see_ Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 32. Bentley’s
H in Trin. Coll. Cam. B. 17. 5.
72. Addit. 5463. Gospels [viii or ix], from the nunnery of St.
Peter at Beneventum, formerly belonging to Dr. Richard Mead;
written in a fine revived uncial hand. The MS. has usually been
supposed to have been written at Beneventum, but Berger doubts
this (p. 92). Cited by Bentley as F, by Wordsworth as [Symbol: BF
ligature]. Facsimiles in Brit. Mus. Catalogue, p. 18, pl. 7, and
Palaeogr. Soc., i. p. 236.
_Cambridge._
73. University Library, I. i. 6. 32. The Book of Deer; Gospels
[viii or ix], small but rather wide 8vo, 86 leaves, but _mut._;
contains Matt. i. 1-vii. 23; Mark i. 1-v. 36; Luke i. 1-iv. 12;
John, complete. Belonged originally to the Columbian monastery of
Deer in Aberdeenshire: in 1697 belonged to Bp. J. Moore (of
Norwich and Ely), and with the rest of his library was bought for
the University of Cambridge in 1715. Contains many old and
peculiar readings (Westcott, p. 1694). Described by Westwood,
A.-S. and Ir. MSS., pp. 89-90; edited in full with facsimiles by
J. Stuart (for the Spalding Club), Edinburgh, 1869.
74. Univ. Libr. Kk. 1. 24. St. Luke and St. John [prob. viii],
written in Irish hand; collated by Bentley, who cites it as X, and
noticed by Westcott, Vulgate, pp. 1695 and 1712; it contains a
valuable text.
75. Trin. Coll. B. 10. 4. Gospels [ix], large 4to, written
apparently by the same scribe as Brit. Mus. Reg. I. D. ix (no.
61). This is Bentley’s T; according to Westcott (p. 1713) it is
good Vulgate, with some old readings.
76. Corpus Chr. Coll. CXCVII. Fragments of St. Luke [viii],
possibly from the same MS. as Bentley’s φ; _see_ above, no. 66,
and also Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS., p. 49; this MS. has been
described, and the fragments of St. John published, by J. Goodwin,
Publications of the Cambr. Antiq. Soc., no. xiii, 1847. Bentley’s
C.
77. Corpus Chr. Coll. CCLXXXVI Evan. Gospels [vii], formerly
belonging to the monastery of St. Augustine at Canterbury, and
alleged to have been sent by Pope Gregory to Augustine. They
contain an interesting text, the first hand being corrected
throughout in accordance with a MS. of the type of the Codex
Amiatinus. _See_ Westwood, Anglo-Sax. and Ir. MSS., pp. 49, 50;
Pal. Sacra Pict., pl. 11. 1-4; Palaeogr. Soc., i. pl. 33, 34, 44.
Collated by the Rev. A. W. Streane. Bentley’s B; Wordsworth’s X.
_Dublin._
78. Trinity College A. 1. 6. Gospels [vii or viii], commonly known
as the Book of Kells; given to Trinity College, Dublin, by
Archbishop Ussher. This MS. is principally known as being perhaps
the most perfect specimen of Irish writing and illumination in
existence, but it also contains a valuable text, though marked
with the characteristics of the Irish family. A collation is given
by Dr. Abbott in his edition of the Codex Usserianus, or _r_1
(_see_ p. 50). Facsimiles in Palaeogr. Soc., i. pl. 55-8, 88, 89;
Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS. pp. 25-33, pl. 8-11, and Pal. Sacra
Pict., pl. 16, 17; also National MSS. of Ireland, i. pp. x-xii,
pl. vii-xvii. Wordsworth’s Q.
79. Trinity Coll. A. 4. 5. The Book of Durrow. Gospels [end of
vi], 8vo, semi-uncial, the text is allied to Amiatinus; cited by
Bp. Wordsworth as _durmach_. According to an inscription on what
was the last page, the MS. was written by St. Columba himself in
the space of twelve days; the inscription however, like the rest
of the book, is probably copied from an earlier exemplar. A
collation of this MS. is given by Professor Abbott in his edition
of _r_1 (_see_ p. 50); _see_ also his article “On the colophon of
the Book of Durrow” (Dublin Hermathena, 1891, p. 199).
80. Trin. Coll. The Book of Moling. Gospels [viii or ix], small
4to, much the same size, writing, and ornamentation as the Gospels
of Macdurnan (_see_ 84); but so defaced by damp as to be quite
illegible in parts.
81. Royal Irish Academy. The Stowe St. John, formerly in the
Ashburnham Library; originally belonging to a Church in Munster.
Irish handwriting and text. _See_ Berger, p. 42.
_Durham._
82. Cathedral Library, A. ii. 16. Gospels [vii or viii], 134
leaves; said to have been written by Bede, and may very possibly
have come from the monastery at Jarrow; _mut._ in parts; text
allied to the Cod. Amiatinus. Cited by Bentley as K, by Wordsworth
(who makes use of it only in St. John) as Δ.
83. Cathedral Library, A. ii. 17. St. John, St. Mark, and St. Luke
[prob. viii], with another fragment of St. Luke xxi. 33-xxiii. 34.
_See_ Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS., p. 47; Bentley’s [xi], but to
be distinguished from his [xi] in Trin. Coll. Camb. B. 17. 5,

hieronimi indictione vi p(ost) con(sulatum) bassilii ū c. anno
septimo deximo = A.D. 558.” This, however, must have been in the
exemplar from which it was copied, as the MS. itself is at least
two centuries later. It presents the Irish type of text, but has
been carefully corrected throughout, and the marginal readings
represent another type. _See_ Delisle, Cab. des MSS., pl. xix. 8;

_Nuremberg._
116. Dr. Dombart in Hilgenfeld’s Zeitschr., 1881, p. 455 f., has
drawn attention to some fragments [probably vi cent.] of St. Luke
and St. John now in the Germanisches Museum at Nuremberg; they
consist of twenty-eight leaves detached from the covers of books
and contain, though _mut._, Luke v. 19-xxiv. 31, John i. 19-33,
written in a most beautiful uncial hand, perhaps not surpassed by
any other MS. The text seems to be allied to Amiatinus, but with a
considerable mixture of Old Latin readings. More fragments from
the same MS. are to be found in the Libri collection; _see_
“Catalogue de la partie réservée de la collection Libri” (1862),
p. 45, no. 226, pl. lviii.

117. Stadtbibliothek, no. xxii. Gospels [end of viii], 172 leaves,
folio, written partly in uncials but mostly in Caroline

description, both of the palaeography and of the critical value of
the text, is given in the fine monograph published at Leipzig in
1889, and entitled “Die Trierer Adahandschrift;” by several
authors. The dissertation on the text is by Dr. P. Corssen.

readings; _mut_. after John xviii. 35, and does not contain John
v. 4.
126. Mp. th. f. 68. Gospels [vi or vii], 170 leaves, folio,
formerly belonging to the Cathedral Treasury; fine and large
uncial, and ivory carving on the cover; corrected frequently in a
later minuscule hand, but the reading of the first hand is always
visible, and agrees largely with Amiatinus, though in St. John’s
Gospel there is a good proportion of Old Latin readings.
127. Mp. th. f. 88. Gospels [xii or xiii], 194 leaves, folio;
according to an inscription on fol. 194 the MS. was brought from
Rome by a Cardinal to the Council of Basle, and used by him there;

up some fragments [vii or viii] of St. Matthew (i. 1-iii. 4) and

is cited by Tischendorf as _prag._; the other Gospels are edited
by Bianchini in the “Evang. Quadruplex,” ii. app., p. 473 f., and
are cited by Tischendorf as _for._; the MS. is cited throughout by
