A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. II.
Scrivener, Frederick Henry Ambrose
Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
30. Copt. 9 (Raymund iv), fol., paper, Copt. Arab., with fine
illuminations. The four Gospels, preceded by the letter of
Eusebius to Carpianus and the Eusebian tables. It was given to the
Monastery of St. Antony in the Arabian desert, A. Mart. 986 (=
A.D. 1270), by one Michael Abu-Khalîḳah, as recorded in a colophon
written by Gabriel, who was patriarch of Alexandria at the time.
Assemani states that this Michael was also the writer of the MS.,
but more probably the writer was named George and wrote the book
in A.D. 1205 = A.M. 921. After the plunder of the monastery by the
Arabs, the MS. came into the possession of two other patriarchs of
the Copts, John (A.D. 1506) and Gabriel (A.D. 1526), and was
afterwards placed (A.D. 1537) in the Church of SS. Sergius and
Bacchus at Alexandria. These facts are stated in other colophons.
_See_ Mai, _l. c._, p. 122 sq.
31. Copt. 10 (Raymund vi), 4to, paper, Copt. Arab. The four
Gospels; ascribed to the fourteenth century by Assemani. _See_
Mai, _l. c._, p. 125. There are dates of births and marriages, the
earliest being A.D. 1488 = A.M. 1204.
32. Copt. 11 (Petri de Valle vi), fol., paper, Copt. Arab. The
Gospel of St. John. It bears the date 1062 (i.e. A.D. 1346). _See_
Mai, _l. c._, p. 125.
33. British Museum; Orient. 3381, fol., paper. The four Gospels.
Is not dated, though the writer gives his name as Victor. It is
probably of the thirteenth century, and somewhat resembles the
writing of Paris 59. The book was restored in A.D. 1793 under the
patronage of Athanasius, Bishop of Abu Tij. There is also record
of a collation by a priest in A.D. 1801, while a note in English
says that the MS. came from Esneh and was bought of the Bishop of
Luxor by Mr. Lieder, who sold it in 1864 to Mr. Geden, from whom
it passed to the Museum.
34. Paris; Copt. 14 A, Copt. Arab., fol., paper. The four Gospels.
Is dated A.M. 1309 = A.D. 1593. This date is mentioned in Paris 14
as being the time of a work which was performed on that book, and
there can be little doubt that this work was the copying of 14 A
from 14.
35. Paris; Copt. 60, fol., paper. The four Gospels. This MS. is
not dated, but is not ancient, and appears to be a copy of MS.
Diez in its present double form as far as the end of St. Luke. St.
John is by another hand, and may be of earlier date. The former
copier was a deacon, Abu al Monnâ.
