*218. (Act. 65, Paul. 57, Apoc. 33.) Vindobon. Caesar, Nessel. 23, formerly 1 [xiii], fol., 12-½ × 8-¾, ff. 623 (49, 50), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _subscr._, _Euthal._ in Acts, Cath., Paul., contains both Testaments. _Mut._ Apoc. xiii. 5-xiv. 8; xv. 7-xvii. 2; xviii. 10-xix. 15; ending at xx. 7 λυθήσεται. This important copy, containing many peculiar readings, was described by Treschow, and comprises the text of Alter’s inconvenient, though fairly accurate N. T. 1786-7, to be described in Vol. II. Like Cod. 123 it was brought from Constantinople by De Busbeck. 219. Vind. Caes. Ness. 321, formerly 32 [xiii], 6-¼ × 4-¾, ff. 232 (21), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _subscr._ 220. Vind. Caes. Ness. 337, formerly 33 [xiv], 12mo, 3-7/8 × 2-5/8, ff. 303 (22), in very small letters, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._ 221. Vind. Caes. Ness. 117, formerly 38 [x or xi], 11 × 7-5/8, ff. 251 (41-43), with commentaries (Chrysostom on Matt., John; Victor on Mark, Titus of Bostra on Luke), to which the _fragments_ of text here given are accommodated. 222. Vind. Caes. Ness. 180, formerly 39 [xiv], 8-½ × 6, ff. 346 (32), on cotton paper, _mut._ Contains _fragments_ of the Gospels, with a commentary (Victor’s on St. Mark). This and the last were brought from Constantinople by De Busbeck. 223. Vind. Caes. 301, formerly 40 [xiv, Greg. x], 7 × 5-½, ff. 115 (32), contains fragments of SS. Matthew, Luke, and John, with a catena. Codd. 221-3 must be cited cautiously: Alter appears to have made no systematic use of them. 224. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 97, formerly Kollar. 8 [xii], 5-½ × 4-5/8, ff. 97 (19), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _syn._, _men._, _subscr._, only contains St. Matthew. This copy came from Naples. 225. Vind. Caes. Suppl. Gr. 102, formerly Kollar. 9 [dated ϛψ´ or A.D. 1192], 5-3/8 × 3-7/8, ff. 171 (29), _pict._, _lect._, ἀγαγν., _syn._, _men._ Codd. 226-233 are in the Escurial, described by D. G. Moldenhawer, who collated them about 1783, loosely enough, for Birch’s edition. In 1870 the Librarian, José Fernandez Montana (in order to correct Haenel’s errors) sent to Mr. Wm. Kelly, who obligingly communicated it to me, a complete catalogue of the four copies of the Greek Bible, and of nineteen of the New Testament “neither more or less,” then at the Escurial, with their present class-marks. I do not recognize, either in his list or in that subjoined, the “Codex Aureus containing the Four Gospels in letters of gold, a work of the early part of the eleventh century,” spoken of in the _Globe_ newspaper of Oct. 3, 1872, on occasion of the fire at the Escurial on Oct. 2, which however did not touch the manuscripts. Perhaps that Codex is in Latin, unless it be Evst. 40. _See_ also Emmanuel Miller, Cat. des MSS. Gr. de la Bibl. de l’Escurial, Paris, A.D. 1848.
