211. Ven. Mark 539 [xii], fol., 11-½ × 9-½, ff. 280 (29-26), 2 cols., _mut._ Luke i. 1-ii. 32; John i. 1-iv. 2, with an Arabic version in the right-hand column of each page. Κεφ. t., Am., Eus. (irregularly inserted), _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, ῥήμ., στίχ. Burgon cites Zanetti, Graeca D. Marc. Bibl. Codd. MSS., Venet. 1740, p. 291, for the enumeration of the five Patriarchates (_see_ above, p. 67), and other curious matter appended to St. John. The heading of the second Gospel is εὐαγγέλιον ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Μάρκον. 212. Ven. Mark 540 [xi or xii], 6-7/8 × 5, ff. 273 (23), the first page in gold, with _pict._ and most elaborate illuminations. Much _mut._, twenty leaves being supplied in a modern hand. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ., _vers._, τίτλ., _lect._, _Am._ with _Eus._ in a line with them (_see_ Cod. 112), a little later, carried only to the end of St. Mark. 213. Ven. Mark 542 [xi], 8vo, 8-1/8 × 6-¼, ff. 356 (18), _mut._ John xviii. 40-xxi. 25. _Eus. t._, τίτλ., κεφ. (_Am._, _Eus._ most irregularly inserted), few ἀρχαί and τέλη, ἀναγν., heroic verses as colophons to the Gospels. Large full stops are found in impossible places. 214. Ven. Mark 543 [xiv], 8vo, 9-¾ × 6-¼, ff. 227 (27), _chart._, _argent._, _prol._, κεφ. _t._ with _harm._, κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), ἀναγν., _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, _vers._ 215. Ven. Mark 544 [xi], fol., 12-¾ × 9-½, ff. 271 (24), _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._ with _harm._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _syn._, _pict._ (later). This copy is a duplicate of Codd. 20, 300, as well in its text as in the subscriptions and commentary, being without any of the later corrections seen in Cod. 20. The commentary on St. John is Chrysostom’s, those on the other Gospels the same as in Cod. 300 (Burgon). 216. Codex Canonici, brought by him from Corcyra, written in a small character [no date assigned], never was at St. Mark’s, as Scholz alleges: Griesbach inserted it in his list through a misunderstanding of Birch’s meaning. It is probably one of those now at Oxford, to be described hereafter (_see_ Codd. 489, 490). 217. Ven. Mark, Gr. i. 3, given in 1478 by Peter de Montagnana to the monastery of St. John in Viridario, at Padua (viii. A.) [xii or xiii], 8-1/8 × 6-1/8, ff. 306 (21), in fine condition. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), full _syn._, few _lect._, _prol._, _vers._ Codd. 218-225 are in the Imperial Library at Vienna. Alter and Birch collated them about the same time, the latter but cursorily, and Gregory examined them in 1887.
