first impression was that the MS. next described, Parham 121,
would prove to be the _curetonianus_, for I found between the
leaves an envelope addressed to Mr. Cureton at the British Museum,
and bearing the post mark, January, 1849; this fact indicating
that it had been in Mr. Cureton’s hands about the time when
Schwartze’s collation was made. But a comparison of the readings
soon showed that this identification must be abandoned. (3) The
cipher which Boetticher gives for the date is also found in this
MS. in two places, after the Pauline Epistles and again after the
Acts. This coincidence is the more remarkable as the cipher is not
very intelligible. (4) The readings of our MS., Parham 124, where
I compared them, agree with those of Boetticher’s _curetonianus_,
with an occasional exception which may be accounted for by the
inaccuracy of the collation. This is the case with crucial
readings, as for instance the marginal alternative in Acts vii.
39. At the same time Schwartze’s collation, if Boetticher has
given its readings fully, must have been very imperfect. In a
short passage which I collated I found more variations omitted
than there were verses.
*7. Parham 125 (no. 13, p. 29, printed Catalogue), small 4to,
paper, in a very neat hand, with illuminations, Copt. Arab. It
contains the Pauline Epistles, Catholic Epistles, and Acts.
In the National Library at Paris:
*8. Copt. 17, fol., paper, Copt. Arab., described in the Catalogue
as “antiquus et elegantissime scriptus.” It contains the fourteen
Pauline Epistles. Is this the MS. collated by Boetticher for these
Epistles and designated _p_ by him?
*9. Copt. 63, small fol., paper. “Emta per me Bernardum de
Montfaucon Venetiis anno 1698, 11 Augusti.” It contains the
fourteen Pauline Epistles, and is dated at the end ⲁⲧⲟⲥ, i.e. 1376
= A.D. 1660.
*10. Copt. 64, fol., paper, Copt. Arab. “Manuscrit de la
Bibliothèque de Saumaise acquis par l’abbé Sallier pour le B. R.
en 1752.” It contains the fourteen Pauline Epistles.
*11. Copt. 66, 4to, paper, with occasional Arabic notes in the
margin. It belonged to the Coislin library, and previously to the
Seguerian. It contains the Catholic Epistles and Acts. The date of
its completion is given at the end as 1325, i.e. A.D. 1609. A
collation of this MS. was used by Boetticher for his edition, and
is designated _p_ by him.
