A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. II.

Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
*3. Parham 123 (no. 15, p. 29 in the printed Catalogue). Small
fol., paper, rudely written in a recent hand. Copt. Arab. It
contains the Apocalypse, followed by the “Book of the Holy
Benediction, &c.” The scribe, who has evidently a very indifferent
knowledge of Coptic, gives his name as Matthew the son of Abraham,
and states that the work was finished
ϧⲉⲛϯⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓⲛϣⲟⲣⲉⲛⲛⲓⲙⲁⲣⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥⲉⲑⲩ. This ought to be the year 1105 of
the Martyrs (= A.D. 1389); but the MS. must be later than this
date. The colophon itself is perhaps copied from an earlier MS.
*4. Parham 124 (no. 16, p. 29 in the printed Catalogue). A large
12mo, paper, Copt. Arab. It contains about fifteen lines in a
page, and about eleven letters in a line. Two or three pages
towards the beginning are in a later hand. The date is given at
the end, A. Mart. 1037 = A.D. 1321. This Apocalypse is not
Sahidic, as described in the printed Catalogue, but Bohairic.
At Paris:
*5. Copt. 65, already described under Epistles 11.
*6. Copt. 91, 8vo, paper, Copt. Arab., containing the Apocalypse
alone, ϯⲁⲡⲟⲕⲁⲗⲩⲙⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ. It is dated at the
end 1117 (? = A.D. 1401).
In the printed Catalogue *Copt. 34 (Delamare 581, Reg. 342. 3) is
also stated to contain ’Apocalypsis e Graeca lingua in Copticam
conversa,’ but there seems to be some mistake about this.
At Rome:
*7. Anglican Library, C. i. 9. The Apocalypse in Copt. Arab.
ϯⲁⲡⲟⲕⲁⲗⲩⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ, &c., said to
belong to the fifteenth century.
8. Library of the Propaganda, large 8vo, paper, in a modern hand.
Copt. Arab. The Apocalypse somewhat mutilated. It contains i.
12-ii. 26, and iii. 9-xxii. 12. It is briefly described among the
Borgian MSS. by Zoega, p. 3.
9. Vatican, Copt. 15, fol., paper, Copt. Arab. The Apocalypse
followed by “Ordo dominicae palmarum” (fol. 59). Referred by
Assemani to the fourteenth century. _See_ Mai, Coll. Vet. Script.,
v. 2, p. 130.
10. Vatican, Copt. 16 (I. B. Raymund, no. xi), 4to, paper, Copt.
Arab. The Apocalypse, followed by a Benedictio. It was written by
one John son of Abul-Menna in 1061 (i.e. A.D. 1345). The scribe
prays “omnes amicos suos sinceros ... ut castigent atque corrigant
errata illius pro sua prudentia, quoniam ausus sum fungi munere
mihi ignoto.” _See_ Mai, _l. c._, p. 130 sq.(107)
Besides these MSS. of different parts of the New Testament there
is also a considerable number of Bohairic Lectionaries in the
different libraries of Europe.
