_Complutensian Polyglot_.--The following extract from "The Prospectus of
a Critical Edition of the New Testament," by the learned Mr. S. Prideaux
Tregelles, affords a satisfactory reply to Mr. Jebb's query, No. 14. p.
212.:--
"However there is now more certainty as to the MSS. belonging to
the University of Alcala. Dr. James Thompson has published
(_Biblical Review_, March, 1847), the result of inquiries made
thirty years ago by Dr. Bowring, and more recently by himself.
Hence it appears that all the MSS. which formerly were known as
belonging to Cardinal Ximenes, and which were preserved in the
library of Alcala, are now with the rest of that library, at
Madrid....Dr. José Gutierrez, the present librarian at Madrid,
communicated to Dr. J. Thomson a catalogue of the Complutensian
MSS., and from this it appears that the principal MSS. used in the
Polyglott are all safely preserved."
