599. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,373 [xiii], 9-¼ × 7-½, ff. 299 (22), _syn._, _men._, _Carp._, _Eus. t._, κεφ. _t._, _prol._, _pict._, _orn._, κεφ., τίτλ., _lect._, _Am._, _Eus._, _subscr._, very beautiful. _Mut._ Matt. i. 11-xv. 19.

Add. 24,376 [xiv], 10-¾ × 8-¼, ff. 350 (19), 2 cols., κεφ. _t._, _pict._, κεφ., _lect._, ἀναγν., some _Am._, _subscr._, στίχ., _syn._, _men._ Remarkable _pict._ of the Annunciation and of the three later Evangelists, Gospel headings left blank. See Evst. 273-7. (Greg. 696.) 601. Brit. Mus. Add. 26,103 [xiv], 8 × 6, ff. 242 (25), _orn._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._ (in gold), _pict._ (John), was found in a village near Corinth, and bought of C. L. Merlin, our Vice-Consul at Athens, in 1865. Beautifully written in very black ink, the first page of each Gospel being in gold. (Greg. 697.) 602. Brit. Mus. Add. 27,861 [xiv], 6-½ × 5, ff. 186 (19, 20, &c.), κεφ. _t._, κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _lect._, _subscr._, _syn._, _men._, from Sir T. Gage’s sale, 1868, rough and dirty, with many marginal notes to supply omissions. St. Matthew’s Gospel is wholly lost. No _pict._, but ornamentation in faded lake. (Greg. 698.) 603. (Act. 231, Paul. 266 and 271.) Brit. Mus. Add. 28,815 [x or xi], 11-½ × 8-½, ff. 302 (30), κεφ., τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._, _pict._, sumptuously bound with silver-gilt plates. This noble fragment was bought (as were Act. 232, Evst. 279, 280) of Sir Ivor B. Guest in 1871, and contains the Gospels, Acts, Catholic Epistles, Romans, 1, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, the rest of the original volume being evidently torn out of the book when already bound. In the same year 1871 the Baroness Burdett-Coutts also imported from Janina in Epirus sixty-seven leaves containing the rest of St. Paul’s Epistles and the Apocalypse (B.-C. II. 4, Paul. 266, Apoc. 89), which fragments were described in the second edition of the present book. Mr. Edward A. Guy, of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, U.S.A., on examining the Museum fragment in 1875 with my book in his hand, concluded that the two portions originally formed one magnificent copy of the whole New Testament, and when I brought the two together, I saw that the illuminated heading and initial capital on the first page of B.-C. II. 4 (Eph. i) was worked off through damp on the _verso_ of the last leaf (302) of the Museum copy, and the red κεφ. of Gal. vi on the top of B.-C. II. 4, leaf one, _recto_. In the larger fragment we find two _pict._ of St. Luke (one of them before the Acts), one of St. John, with illuminated headings. _Carp._, _Eus. t._, &c. must have perished, as the first page opens with Matt. i. 1. It has τίτλ. in gold letters on purple vellum, a Harmony at the foot of fol. 17 b-18 b, and many brief marginal scholia. _See_ Paul. 266 (B.-C. II. 4), which is at present five miles off, in the Library of Sir Roger Cholmeley’s School, Highgate. (Greg. 699.)
