*16. Parham 121, 122, 123 (nos. 9, 10, 11 in the printed
Catalogue, p. 29), in Lord Zouche’s Library at Parham in Sussex.
Fol., paper, Copt. Arab. There is a date of donation A.M. 1211 =
1495 A.D. in 123. These three MSS., which contain respectively the
Gospels of St. Matthew, St. Luke, and St. John, must originally
have formed part of the same volume, which St. Mark is wanted to
complete. The last leaf of St. Luke is numbered ⲧⲕ, the first of
St. John ⲧⲕⲃ. Several pages at the beginning and end of St.
Matthew are supplied by a later hand. The Ammonian Sections and
Eusebian Canons are marked. These volumes are written in a large
hand, and have illuminations. They contain the additions Luke
xxiii. 34; John vii. 53-viii. 11; but not Luke xxii. 43, 44;
xxiii. 17; nor John v. 3, 4.
*17. Parham 126 (no. 14, p. 29, in the printed Catalogue), 12mo,
paper, Copt. Arab. The four Gospels in a small neat hand, smaller
than I remember to have seen in any Coptic MS. There are two
dates, A.M. 1392 = A.D. 1676, and A.M. 1446 = 1730 A.D., and it is
probable that the book was nearly finished at the earlier time.
Introductions and tables of contents are prefixed to each Gospel.
This MS. has the additions Luke xxiii. 34; John vii. 53-viii. 11;
but not Luke xxii. 43, 44; xxiii. 17; nor John v. 3, 4; just as
was the case with the MS. last described, no. 16(106).
In the Paris National Library:
*18. Cod. Copt. 13, fol., vellum. The four Gospels. A very fine
manuscript, elaborately illuminated, with pictures of the
principal scenes in the Gospel history. It has the Ammonian
Sections and Eusebian Canons in the margin, with the tables at the
end of the Gospels. The writer, Michael, bishop of Damietta, gives
his name in a colophon at the end of St. Mark. The date at the end
of St. Matthew is 894 (or A.D. 1178); of the other Gospels 896 (or
A.D. 1180). This MS. is erroneously dated 1173 in the Catalogue,
and 1164 in Le Long. The additions Luke xxiii. 17, 34; and John
vii. 53-viii. 11, are part of the original text. Also Luke xxii.
43, 44, is written _prima manu_ and in the text, but in smaller
characters so as to make a distinction. On the other hand the
interpolation John v. 3, 4, is wanting.
*19. Cod. Copt. 14, fol., paper, Copt. Arab. The four Gospels. It
has the Ammonian Sections and Eusebian Canons, and two other
capitulations besides. It contains Luke xxiii. 34, but has not the
additions Luke xxii. 43, 44; xxiii. 17; John v. 3, 4; vii.
53-viii. 11. It is referred in the Catalogue to the thirteenth
century, which is probably about its date.
